I'd love to try FFXIV online…but I don't need another monthly subscription if I end up liking it that much.

Sadly I still can't get the FFXIV launcher to work; both Proton Experimental and the latest GE crash as soon as I try to log in.

I really had to set up a clean prefix for that crash to disappear after I used XIVLauncher and GE 6.21 for a while now.

I made sure both the FF14 and relative compatdata directories were all deleted before trying each.

Quoting: GuestThat normally works, but you could also check something has not got stuck in both steamapps/downloading and steamapps/temp folders, and last but not least have a look inside userdata/xxxxxxxxx/zzzzzzzzz (this folder is in the steam folder not the steamapp folder.
Didn't think of that last bit, but unfortunately still no go for me; there's no folder for the game at all there. I'm not too bummed since my cobbled together Lutris solution works but do hope this gets working properly.

Huh, I wonder what's actually the problem with Succubus x Saint that they would specifically mention it. It played just fine when I tested it with normal Wine. I guess some RPG Maker MV games still aren't well optimized? I just finished playing Celesphonia today and the CPU spikes was brutal for such a simple game running on an engine based on Chromium.

Regarding Final Fantasy XIV, one option for Linux users is the (perhaps a tad confusingly named) "XIVLauncher", a FOSS unofficial launcher project which has a Linux native version! It even has a helpful SteamDeck specific install guide - https://goatcorp.github.io/faq/steamdeck .
There are many neat features included in the launcher alone, plus it enables you to use the Dalamud plugin API and an in-game library of UI addons/mods if you so choose. I've been using it for many months now, since I returned to FFXIV and it has been a useful utility indeed. I can confirm its viability on desktop Linux but alas do not have a Steam Deck as of yet (I'm scheduled for Q2 so hopefully my time will be coming soon). Enjoy!
