FFXIV and ACT with the same environment

via: valarnin -- https://discord.com/channels/551474815727304704/611368387678830616/1450222629003989022

You are not running FFXIV and ACT with the same environment.

  1. Close the game and any ACT instances you might have open. Ensure that no wine processes are running on your system by checking ps or some other process manager
  2. Restore the generated backups, then delete the backups
  3. Remove the ~/.local/share/ffxiv-tools directory
  4. Re-run setup.sh
  5. Make sure the paths displayed during setup actually make sense (e.g. not pointing at a .tar.gz file)
  6. Run ~/.local/share/ffxiv-tools/ffxiv-env.sh
  7. Check that echo $PROTON_DIST_PATH shows the expected path
  8. Check that echo $XIVLAUNCHER_PATH shows the correct path
  9. Check that echo $WINEPREFIX shows the path to your XL wine prefix
  10. From that same terminal that is showing the correct environment variables, run wine64 uninstaller
  11. In the wine uninstaller menu, make sure that there is no instance of mono present, and that .NET 4.8 is present a. If mono is present, uninstall it from the prefix first b. If .NET 4.8 is missing, install it from the ffxiv-env.sh terminal via winetricks dotnet48
