[FF7] Steam Deck/Linux and Wine/Proton support.

[Uklosk]

Hi, FFNx seems to work out of the box on Linux, at least on my Steam Deck, but it crashes when loading a savegame.

For example, this is a savegame just after the first reactor, I can load it on Windows, but on Linux it crashes and the error message redirects me to the FAQ. I can start a new game from the beginning without any issues.

It seems some minor issue that can easily be fixed, but I right know lack a proper Linux installation in order to do further testing.

Here are the save and the log files.

Hello, consider updating to the latest Canary and to try again. Your version is out-of-date and no support will be given. Thank you.

Thanks for the quickly response.

I installed Satsuki Yatoshi Mod AIO package, so that is probably the version that comes with it.

I tried updating FFNx by just pasting the latest Canary over the installation but the log keeps printing the older one, I will take a deeper look after work today (it's 10AM in Spain right now) and report back.

Remember that I am not able to provide official support for Linux nor the Steam Deck, but I'll be happy to document ever workaround required to make it work. This is because this is a project targeting the Windows binary first, and second because I do not own a Steam Deck myself so it would be impossible to provide a good ground when you don't own the device in the first place.

Thank you in advance.

I tried the same save in a laptop with a clean Arch Linux installation and I get the same error with the latest Canary, here is the log:

FFNx.log

I understand that Linux is out of the scope of the project, so I will gladly try and debug it myself now that I have a proper environment available.

I will post any findings here.

Thanks and regards.
