Thanks SQUARE ENIX ACCOUNTS SYSTEMS for making this entire process complete crap.

Look, I don't need STEAM and YOU shouldn't need it either FF14 team BUT Square Enix accounts systems is a mash of complete crap. I've never had to change my password so many times as I have with Square Enix. Thanks. If I don't ever login again.. it is YOUR fault. As i have ZERO control over the system lockouts. I don't know whom you pay to work these systems, clearly we can't all be the b_d_ss_s making the game, but you seriously need to get better system admins. I've been having these same login issues for YEARS. FYI. Primary reason I went to STEAM in the first place. /facepalm. Now I can't login and I really don't feel like messing with the abstract amalgamation demon that is blocking my way. IE, I'm not going to keep changing my password. I really had a hard time coming back to Final Fantasy 14 as it was. Nails in the coffin.

Does the announced workaround help?

We are still investigating the issue, but have confirmed that this issue can be avoided by setting your Steam profile name to alphabetical characters only.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but as a temporary workaround, please temporarily change your Steam profile name to only alphabetical characters and attempt launching the game.

[Varezenem]

Didn't work for me and I've never had any non-alphabetical characters on my steam profile...

[AudreyReinhardt]

Didn't work for me either!

You need to calm down and approach it more wisely

I'm on the steam forums now to see why steam users are complaining and they have a lot of good points. You had free trial users who liked the game so much they paid six months in advance and now they cant play anymore due to Linex now being unsupported. They are making tons of good points over there.

Thankfully this does not affect me but there is more to the story.

The Linux thing prevents it from working on Steam Deck, right? That seems like a pretty major oversight.

Linux was never officially supported though. I don't think they've ever even talked about it

Doesn't the Steamdeck run on Linux though? Didn't they just run basically a huge FF14 ad about playing FF14 on the Steamdeck? Seems like a huge oversight on SqE's part. Supported or not, it's not a good look.

Didn't quite know what this was referring to but I attempted to log in through Steam and got the error. I exited out and when I brought up the launcher again, I got a new screen and had to go through the linking process but I didn't have to enter a password. I do pay through Steam Wallet so that process may already have set things up. What sort of errors are everyone experiencing?
