FFXIVQuickLauncher VS wine-ge-custom

If he was on trial, he needs to delete the trial installation, and reinstall the game. I had similar issues on Steam. The https://goatcorp.github.io/ is also a great, 3rd party solution and might even be faster than the game launcher.

All i have to say is GL... Firstly, Librem runs on a linux kernel, which is not innately compatiable with FFXIV. There are ways around this, the main way is using the xivquicklauncher 3rd party tool. https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

The game really is that big, though the launcher does throttle download speeds. If this is less than your usual download speed, then I would consider looking into XIVQuickLauncher, which should be significantly faster. However, if this is a pretty typical download speed, all this would accomplish is restarting your download.

I recommend using the ffxiv quicklauncher instead of official one. I used to have problems with download speeds too but with this it works as good as it should. Not to mention all the other great features it offers https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

Easiest fix would probably be reinstall. I've used https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher to install in the past as the download speed is much much faster (and ffxiv is huge). You can just use the normal Square launcher afterward if you want, too, but if you're sketch about putting your username/password in a 3rd party app that's understandable.

The only working fix for this at the moment is using GE-Wine 25 via Lutris.

I have FF14 working with WINE-GE 8-21 on Arch Linux. The only issue seems to be with video playback from ARR. The openings for Heavensward thru Endwalker all play OK.

I am using Lutris-GE-lol-p8-12, Arch Linux, Wayland, and a AMD CPU and GPU (Mesa).

This is big, at least for some of us. I honestly stopped at the last FSR enabled GE, which was around GE-Proton7-55, and planned to stay there for as long as possible. Don't know who Ph42oN is, but deserves tons of respect for make it again possible. Yes, gamescope was/is another way, but I very much prefer this one. https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-7 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton8-11

I installed Chrome using latest Wine-GE, but DRM is an issue now.

Install lutris-GE-Proton8-8 and then just switch to 8-10 after installation. https://github.com/gloriouseggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases (extract it to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine)

Use last lutris-wine or latest Wine GE

I would try GloriousEgroll, I use their version of proton to help with a lot of games, I linked you to their WINE version.

There's one specifcally for Wine, too: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom
