Setting everything up is an absolute nightmare but after everything is set up playing is flawless
LUTRIS_SKIP_INIT=1 flatpak run net.lutris.Lutris lutris:rungameid/1
Added a lot of commands to the trackpads setting them up as D-pad. Such as Ctrl+J, Ctrl+E, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+B and used the back grip buttons to pop up Linkshell, Party and Reply chats also making them automatically pop up the keyboard. Because of the low FPS this game is capped at I had to add a hold delay on the control key for all of those macros and n order to make them work 100% of the time.
I found Lutris the best way to play this game because the install script adds dgvoodoo support, however for some reason you have to switch to desktop mode, launch the game via lutris and then to back to game mode and launch it. If you don't launch it first in desktop mode, it just doesn't launch
Small microstutters not very often
I had to set Playonline to boot on full screen or otherwise after a few launches it would no longer run. I have the feeling it has to do with the PoL window position as when I played with an extra monitor connected via USB hub, when moving the window to the 2nd monitor PoL would freeze, then moving it back to the deck screen it would unfreeze.
For the deck set PoL to run on full screen and make sure to enable gamepad support. For FFXI set the resolution to 1280x800 and enable gamepad and xinput. High graphics settings works fine. Also I launch with Ashita for some gear swapping, Ashita is just another burden to set up but once set up it works just fine. Note that the Ashita launcher doesn't work tho so you'd have to configure it through the xml files and launch via injector.exe
As long as they get used to the launcher's slowness absolutely everything else works as expected.
Added functionallity to the L4, L5, R4 and R5 buttons to pop up different chat types (linkshell, FC, party) and pop up the keyboard.
The slides in the launcher do not render properly and the launcher experience is slow, if you are patient and only click the buttons once you can log in without issues.
You can increase the size of most of the UI but there are exceptions such as the item description window
This game is only multiplayer so obviously the online experience is important. It ran excellently connected through 5g WiFi
Besides the font size in particular UI windows the experience overall is great.
