FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - The Ivalice Chronicles: Game Will Not Launch on Arch (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Have you turned the Overlay and Game recording/screenshot functions off and tried starting the game with those off to see if the crash stops?
The problem
I'm running 7.0.11-1-cachyos-hardened and I simply cannot launch this game. I've tried Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental, Proton-cachyos, Proton 10-4, and Proton 9.0-4. I hit play, the button turns to Stop for a minute or less, and then the button turns back to play. No screen loads. No error appears. If I run steam in CLI to see what it says during launch, it tells me absolutely nothing useful…
What players suggest
Cachy isn't Arch, first of all. It's an Arch fork, yes. But it isn't Arch, so you should just say Cachy. Second, it looks like the Steam overlay and game-recording in crashing. Have you turned the Overlay and Game recording/screenshot functions off and tried starting the game with those off to see if the crash stops?
Thank you for the correction. My apologies. I have overlay and recording disabled. I tried clearing the Proton folder for FFT. It runs perfectly on my Steam Deck, which is what confuses me most. Since I forgot to include them before, here my hardware specifications: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G GPU : AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX RAM: 32 GB
I use Linux Garuda and the game works perfectly Proton GF and is super smooth
