Wine Launcher 404

[zangoku]

Success! Selecting this edited version of Proton in Steam compatibility settings https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dL...EqSvSSvoRmBBwi lets me open the launcher and patch the game.

You can download the free trial if you don't already have the base game in Steam, it functions just like the retail version and will let you log in to any existing account.

I can confirm that this works! For more details check out the issue on github, a lot of explanation & troubleshooting has been going on: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/580

I patched my wine-staging with the patch and it does indeed work.

I also happen to have Heavensward for Mac OS and can confirm if you log in without hiding your wine exports, it will assume you are playing with a Mac OS account, as it allowed me to do all content up to HW as if I were logged in on my Mac.

Hmm, I wouldn't really mind trading my Shadowbringers Windows version for a Mac OS version so I could play on my laptop and my PC easily, but I could see things changing again and I'd need a Windows key again. I never understood why Mac OS and Windows key were separate, anyway. I also have a PS4 key, and it always feels like such a cash grab that I must upgrade each version individually...

updated OP with some fix instructions. Let me know if you want anything added to it(more comprehensive steam fix instructions perhaps?)

FIX FOR LUTRIS
Problem 1: wrong url.
Fix: patched wine version. Either add this patch and build from this or untar this to

~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine

Problem 2:
Now the client thinks you're running on a mac.
Fix: Go to Wine configuration for FFXIV, then to Staging tab and check "Hide Wine version from applications".
OR

WINEPREFIX=$FFXIVPREFIXLOCATION winetricks hidewineexports=enable

I can't get any of these fixes to work on my system. For example, using your build on lutris results in:

wine client error:0: version mismatch 580/579.
Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
Waiting on children
All children gone
Exit with returncode 1

If I toggle system libraries/lutris runtime I see it looking for libraries on the builder's machine instead, like with the other solutions posted today..

wine: failed to initialize: /home/feffe/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-tkg-staging-esync-lutris-git-4.6.r9.ga0708adf/lib32/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Good catch. Ill have a look to see if I can fix up a proper package tomorrow. In the meantime you could try compiling with the patch yourself. If you dont use arch youcould build it in a docker container instead.

I'll look into it assuming I get a break tomorrow night. I could use the learning experience at least.

If you dont use arch..

I'm starting to get the feeling that's what's making me the odd man out when it comes to these fixes

[RutaPea]

Hey, it's really easy to apply patches in gentoo, too!

[ShiningWolf]

Just a little bump, because SE in their infinite wisdom decided to move a topic about technical problems with the game out of tech support, where people who experience this problem would have seen it and found the fix.
Square, this topic overtook a pinned topic from several years ago in there, in the matter of <2 days. =(
At least pin this thing so the other thousands of Linux users can find it? Pretty please? It's literally just hitting a button. We did all the work already.

[junmoxiao]

I noticed they moved it and wasn't sure why. We found fixes ourselves, so the least they can do is keep it visible; that way people can find the solution more easily instead of bothering SE directly (or unsubscribing). You'd think that would be in their interests...

[feffe]

Hello, managed to build a version that should work with any lutris install, confirmed by at least one other person so far. Link is in op.

EDIT: Also yeah, why is this no longer in tech support? Seems really weird to put it in general, can we get an admin to move it back?
