Linux Support?

[MackDees]

I know it might not be in their plans now but how about SteamOS/Linux support?

@Artiom78: I can confirm this works on my Ubuntu 16.04 too ; however, the English subtitles made possible by Untitled Project X don't seem to work for me using wine. Did it work for you? Did you do anything special?

I don't know if (m)any of my mods will work in Wine. They are borderline using undefined behavior in places, very tightly coupled to Windows-specific stuff. What's worse, the newest release uses MSVC 2015. Definitely wouldn't be covered under the DLLs listed in the last post.

There's a different project that'll patch the executable file, I think this is probably a better way to approach things if all you want is Japanese language.

I'm actually playing with japanese voices and french subtitles. I never managed to use the launcher but I manually changed the setings in the config file as suggested here

Merci beaucoup, ça fonctionne !

I didn't think that such a small change would do the trick and I wasn't even aware that this file existed in the first place :D

Edit: actually now, I have the whole game in English when I want to have the voices in Japanese and the subs in English...

Linux port please :D

I keep buying Square Enix games on SteamOS I would love to complete my collection with FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FFX-2 and FFXV.

They've already done it with Ferrel on Tomb Raider, Deus Ex and others -- @square - do it so I can give you my money.

Works fine with the latest Wine 1.9.16 :

1- Create fresh 64bits prefix (better performance than 32bits prefix) and set it to Windows 7.
2- Using winetricks (or manually) install following overrides : d3dx9_43, msvcp110, msvcr110, vcomp110 and atl110
3-Won't work with the launcher so you have to run the binary from the folder e.g : env WINEPREFIX='path/to/your/wineprefix' wine 'C:\windows\command\start.exe' /Unix 'path/to/FFX/binary'

I play on high settings on a AMD FX8320e + Nvidia GTX 660.

It can be a bit stuttering at times (as if some "frame skipping" was set to a high value) but it's ok most of the time.

Real thanks Artiom, it works fine thx to u

The middle part isn't necessary either
'C:\windows\command\start.exe' /Unix

You could do:
env WINEPREFIX="/Apps/.Final Fantasy X" /usr/bin/wine "C:\Program Files\StarCraft\StarCraft.exe"

Then you drop a .desktop launcher in /Apps and the data will be hidden while the launcher is present.

That's cause I usually drag and drop the whole linux path into the console... which is why the /Unix flag is there. ;-)
