First let me say my system is definitely a "fringe" configuration that is unsupported by SE but FFXIV has worked flawlessly for the last 2 years, and before that it was running on Steam using Proton as a 'non-steam game'for another 2 years. Version 6.55 was working perfectly using WINE and Lutris on June 25th before the update.

So you finally managed to run FF14 on windows 7?
