If I have the steam version, how do I proceed ?
That runner doesn’t seem to work for me. Just exits with error code -4. Any ideas?
As a side-note, I’ve been trying to build a package with https://github.com/Tk-Glitch/PKGBUILDS/tree/master/wine-tkg-git and the packages compile correctly and everything but when I run the resulting bin the process just freezes on startup. Probably something weird with my customization.cfg. I’ve tried with
staging-esync-dxvk-faudio-marchopt, staging-esync-marchopt & staging-faudio without any luck. Anyone could share their working customization.cfg?
EDIT: And now also the current customization.cfg on the master branch. Still the same symptoms, just freezes : /

Yeah, learned the hard way that you cannot share those out of the box, sorry about that. Presumably lutris will have a proper build very soon 
So I managed to download the updates on a VM and install the python launcher. How can I run the Lutris instance in the python launcher? I tried adding the wineprefix command but the game crashes to blackscreen. Is there a command to run the ffxiv_dx11.exe using lutris directly ?
This is the settings in launcher config:
#Leave blank for windows or MacOS, ‘wine’ for Linux
pre_command = wine
I was thinking of simply changing this to lutris but that did not work.
Trying to set the ffxiv application to the python script returns a invalid application type error in Lutris.
That’s a bug in the latest commit of wine-staging.
You can either change the staging version to an older commit with _staging_version="a0708adf427a61acd2f68dda8ccf245d93909f15" or use this patch
I think what I was asking was what would be the command line arguments to pass the login info straight to the lutris instance of ffxiv_dx11.exe?
I know normally a lutris application is launched with the following command:
lutris lutris:rungameid/1
The problem is, the python launcher script can’t pass the username / password / key variables from the launcher to the application using that method. Even if you change the lutris application to the ffxiv_dx11.exe file it says you must use the ffxivboot.exe instead.
I’m trying to find a way to do something like this:
lutris game/ffxiv_dx11.exe [args]
Thanks! That did the trick.
Well I just built the latest TKG. There is already a patch for FFXIV and the bug in wine-staging. So after a quick edit of customization.cfg to enable the ffxivlauncher_fix and DXVK it just built fine and installed itself. I now have to wait for the game to download again - I deleted my install yesterday trying to fix it 
So how do I set up my batch file that runs the python launcher to use the Lutris installation / environment?
echo "FFXIV DX11 Custom Python Launcher"
WINEPREFIX="/home/astump/Games/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn"
cd "/home/astump/Games/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn"
./launcher.py
^ this is the batch file I have.
But the custom python launcher does not take arguments if I try to edit the ini file and put this in:
#Leave blank for windows or MacOS, ‘wine’ for Linux
pre_command = wine _staging_version=“a0708adf427a61acd2f68dda8ccf245d93909f15”
it says: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘wine _staging_version=“a0708adf427a61acd2f68dda8ccf245d93909f15”’
I looked at what Lutris does and I tried running the command that it first executes to set the “runner”
/home/astump/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/esync-staging-pba-ffxiv-3.16-x86_64/bin/wine
this made some changes to my default wine prefix in ~/.wine , thinking - ok, maybe if I mock what Lutris does maybe it will let the ffxiv_dx11.exe run under Lutris’ configuration. No luck except a bunch of files changed in my default wine prefix.
I get there is a bug in the latest commit of wine staging, but I have not updated wine at all or lutris. All I did was copy files from the lutris installation to a virtual machine with a trial of Windows 10 enterprise edition, run the launcher there to update everything, and move all files back per some other instructions I saw. This bypasses having to use the launcher to download and in theory all I would have to do is use the custom launcher to launch Lutris and pass the custom launcher arguments, through lutris, to ffxiv_dx11.exe
In addition for some reason even after doing things this way the WINEPREFIX is not being passed to the custom FFXIV Launcher –
fixme:winediag:start_process Wine Staging 2.4 is a testing version containing experimental patches.
fixme:winediag:start_process Please mention your exact version when filing bug reports on winehq.org.
Because when I run Lutris by default, it should be 3.1x w/ DXVK
Anyone know how to make this into a self-contained package ala the format downloaded by the lutris runner manager? Right now I have to have it installed as my system wine version which isn’t really ideal.
In customization.cfg, change _EXTERNAL_INSTALL="false" to _EXTERNAL_INSTALL="true". And make sure that _EXTERNAL_INSTALL_TYPE is set to lutris.
So is there a Lutris downloadable runner I can install w/o compiling from source yet?

might not work any better but you could try (doesn’t work, hardcoded paths :/)

Seems you hardcoded your home directory in there somehow.
EDIT: In case anyone else feels simultaneously lazy and clever, no, symlinks can’t fix this problem. Guess I’ll just get unlazy and compile it myself.
The problem is no matter who builds that the .so file is hardcoded in to wine since that staging git will only reference, not include, wine. I use Ubuntu so I can not use makepkg. Even if I installed a Archlinux VM, I don’t know if I could build it on the VM or not and then export it - and if I did, I’d be locked to using my same username as the home folder
I think I screwed up the compilation, enabled ffxiv patch and dxvk through the config file and installed it under the lutris runners/wine dir but winecfg hangs indefinitely.
Anything I might have missed?
sounds like the same problem I had, have a look at this
So what is the fix for this? Do we have to wait for Lutris to update their code to include a new runner that works without hard links if we don’t have Arch linux and can’t use makepkg? I mean Lutris has to have some way they build these runners where it doesn’t have hard coded libraries right?
Update: I’m working on trying to make a non-locked in build right now. Installed Manjaro on a virtual machine and am building.
