![]() ![]() However given that Gaben himself plays ffxiv on the steam deck, and valve has a vested interest in having ffxiv playable on the steam deck, they could possibly step in to to help square make ffxiv more steam deck friendly, like they did with linux EAC support for example. ![]() XIVlauncher's devs have also been steadfast in supporting linux and now steam deck support as well, they will likely be the ones to be relied upon. Basically the developers of XIVlauncher have replicated the hash algorithm used by the vanilla launcher, basically XIVlauncher hashes the game's boot files in exactly the same way as the vanilla launcher. They know that this compromises their steam version (as it allows people to buy the non-steam version and masquerade as steam users), so they probably did this change primarily to prevent problems in their relationship with valve.įor steam linux ffxiv users, their best bet in the short term will be using xivlauncher, as the xivlauncher people are working on a fix for xivlauncher to launch steam linux ffxiv as we speak. The real reason they probably implemented the change is because people discovered that you could launch non-steam ffxiv from steam in either the free trial or the normal ffxiv by simply editing the game's steam config under the hood. ![]()
