Go to this folder and look for a file called FFXIV_BOOT.cfg. By default you will find this config file under ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/39210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV – A Realm Reborn/. – The first time the game booted and attempted to crash at the launcher it will have created a config file for you. Step 3: Modifying the config files to prevent crashing.ģ. There is a part in Step three where we will pass this point, at which point you will be able to properly use the older version of the Launcher to download the rest of the game. Go back to your steam Library window when that happens and tell it to stop the game. At some point the launcher will completely crash on you and freeze up with a blank white page. If you do have an account already continue on and tell it you already have an account. You will have to create an account using normal web browser. If you are new to FFXIV Do NOT attempt to create an account from in the FFXIV client on Steam.

If you do not have the game installed elsewhere to copy from then leave “Game” and “Boot” folders alone and do not worry, it will be downloaded during step 3.Ģ. By default the game folder is going to be in your home folder under ~.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY XIV Online/.

– At this point in time if you have the game installed on another drive (such as a Windows drive) I recommend taking the “game” and “boot” folder and removing them from the game files install of your new fresh install on Linux and then copying it over. Wait for the download to finish all of about a few hundred MB (Steam does not download the entire game, just the base part of it and the launcher).Ģ. Step 2: Install the game Go to your games Library. Checkbox the option to enable Steam Play for all other titles and hit ok. You can right click the Steam icon on your task bar, dock, or system tray (depending on your Desktop environment) and then go to “Settings.” From there go to “Steam play” section. Installing the game and setting it up to run without crashingĪfter installing Steam you will want to go to your settings to enable Steam Play for all titles.
