XIVLauncherCN for Linux

Launcher & seamless Linux integration for Final Fantasy XIV Online (China version)

Overview

XIVLauncherCN is a launcher designed to help Linux users play Final Fantasy XIV Online on China’s servers.

It allows the game to run smoothly on Linux by using a special version of WINE, which helps Windows-based games work on Linux systems.

This launcher makes patching the game easy and fast, so you can spend less time updating and more time playing.

The software also supports many helpful plugins that add useful features to the game.

It works well with the Steam Deck handheld gaming device, but players using Steam Deck need to change a command in their Non-Steam app settings to get the game running properly in the device’s gaming mode.

For detailed instructions, users can check the Steam Deck FAQ available through the help section.

XIVLauncherCN is only for players who use the China version of Final Fantasy XIV.

It is not meant for anyone playing on other servers.

Also, this software is not connected to Square Enix, the official game developer.

This means users should be aware that official support from Square Enix may not be available if problems arise.

In summary, XIVLauncherCN is a good choice for Linux gamers looking to run Final Fantasy XIV Online on China’s servers safely and efficiently, especially if they want smooth integration on Steam Deck or need easy patching with custom tools.
