Requires VP9 libraries like from LAVFilters to play any video. Tried the graphical installer, which had a failure during registration of the codecs. Tried running the .bat files from the ZIP, which didn't report any failure, but the game failed to launch anymore after this. See more here: reddit.com/r/SteamPlay/comments/b62pai/
As stated previously, set "CutsceneMovieOpening" to 1 in FFXIV.cfg (~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/39210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn/) and in the launcher, hit Enter on your keyboard to login instead of clicking the button. However, unlike some other testers here, real time reflections work fine for me and haven't caused a crash. Your mileage may vary.
Does not launch
There's a native Linux version coming soon, so just wait for that.
Proton 6.15-GE-2 GloriousEggroll

Required launch option: -dx11
Game freezes shortly after launching, then crashes shortly after
I can hear the music that would normally play on the opening menu. Sometimes I see space in the background (a static image), sometimes I only see white (in the latest Proton it sticks on white). Pressing buttons doesn't do anything; Esc was suggested by a previous tester but it did nothing for me. A couple minutes later it crashes.
Judging by these reports, it seems that Nvidia users are able to play the game, but Mesa users are not?
I used protontricks to access winecfg for the prefix and add a drive, so I didn't have to find it in Z:/mnt/ later
Framerates aren't as smooth as they should be on high res videos, but it's tolerable
Proton 5.13 and above uses the Steam Runtime Container which limits the file access. In order to play videos from anywhere on your PC, make sure to either use Proton 4.11-13, or:
Bypass the runtime container from launching. For that you need to edit the
_v2-entry-pointfile in theSteamLinuxRuntimeand/orSteamLinuxRuntime_soldierfolder(s) of your library folder. In that file add these two lines after the first line:shift 2 exec "${@}"So it looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash shift 2 exec "${@}"You might have to redo that after an update of the Steam Runtime
Credit to NoXPhasma for the above.
Performance is probably a bit choppier than on Windows, I don't have a Windows install to test but framerate isn't perfect. Occasionally freezes up for a moment, but only occasionally and so far not while just watching a video, mostly while making certain changes in the settings.
Performance can be choppy. Sometimes freezes, especially on videos on higher resolution - I've found some that make it entirely choke. But generally videos play fine so long as they're not too high res.
Lower res videos play fine. Very high resolution videos (especially like what's used for most 3D video) stutter badly. Best to use this app for images and those lower res videos.
In order for the latest Proton versions to access files on another hard drive (if you have multiple drives) you'll need to launch Steam like this:
STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/path/to/media/files steam
Drive added via winecfg
On a newer install of Arch, it was unable to access my home folder for some reason despite including the folder in STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS. Adding the folder I wanted as a drive in winecfg (with WINEPREFIX set to the pfx folder for Whirligig) fixed the issue.
