Summary: Final Fantasy XIV: Live Client Launch Fails Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 URL: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: senjion@gmail.com
I was able to get the client installed easily just running the installer through wine, patching was an issue as it seems to have been in Beta, however after the install I copied in an already patched version of the game which allowed me to get past the Version Check and patching process.
Now when running ffxivboot.exe the game loads the Login Screen properly. I can enter credentials and it logs in fine and then goes to the Launcher page.
On the Launcher Page I can get into Account Management just fine, however if I click on the big red "Play" button nothing happens, it seems like the Launch page just refreshes.
After logging in I tried leaving the Launcher page up and just executing ffxivgame.exe however it acts like it is trying to launch and then simply crashes.
Wine Configuration has Audio set to OSS instead of ALSA.
All graphics in ffxiv config are set to the lowest possible settings.
I have tried with both Hardware Mouse enabled and disabled via ffxiv config, and with sound enabled and disabled aswell.
If there is any data I can collect to assist in troubleshooting let me know.
