Steam Deck Verified When?

[Telaros]

Been loving my Steam Deck and is the way I play most my games now outside ones where launcher app can't launch a game on it.

Been wanting to play this for some time but I've always had issues or bugs at some point or another that's made me put it to the side.

Tried this on Steam Deck recently and the in-game combat and stuff work fine but the visual novel cutscene moments are all in black and the borders stay as that of the intro screen.

Any chance you guys can MAYBE consider releasing one last patch to get it working on Steam Deck?

Not happening.

The problem isn't just that FF is done -- there's also a technical problem: Steam Deck uses Wine/Proton to emulate Windows, and that's imperfect. Idea Factory would have to debug Proton to see where it goes wrong, then figure out something to make it work on Proton without causing issues on the real Windows.

That's basically the job of the Wine/Proton people, to fix their stuff.

Problem seems to be that game uses Windows Media Foundation (WMF) for cutscenes. And that can't be supported easily as Microsoft has patents regarding the implementation (codec).
People are working on the media support side of Proton but there are things that aren't easy to support..

Hey so it is possible to play on steam deck if you use a specific proton version. I'm using Proton-5.9-GE-7-ST, installed with protonup, and it works (almost) perfectly. Other older proton versions may also work. I've been playing it solely on steam deck.

The game works fine with the default proton
But some event just show a black screen

For me, with default proton the game is crash when selecting maps.
But I just tried that version 5.9 it runs fine. only thing left is video.
