FFXIV Launcher Issues After Update - Need Help!

-

I’m having trouble getting Final Fantasy XIV to work after the latest update. When I try launching the game through Steam, it just says “Running” but nothing happens. I’ve noticed that quite a few others are having this issue too, and I’m on Linux Mint. Is there a solution out there? I found out that the new launcher isn’t compatible with Linux/Proton. A workaround is to use an alternative launcher called ‘XIVLauncher’. It’s supposed to be easy to set up with just a terminal command. Anyone tried this? Any tips?

I’m able to run the game fine with XIVLauncher. If you’re having issues, it might be worth switching to that. Just make sure you follow the installation instructions correctly!

Cool, does it work alongside Steam, or do I need to launch it separately?
