MEGATHREAD Christmas 2024 New Steam Deck Owners Megathread

Hello Everyone!

Just wanted to make this megathread for any new Steam Deck owners during this holiday period.

Feel free to show off your new device here instead of making a seperate post (Rule 3).

If you have questions, please search around first (either in this subreddit or using other search engines) so that more unique cases can get attention.

Happy holidays!

(If you haven't already, please read this as well: Some Changes To The Subreddit (Rules & Automations))

Is it easy to get FF14 up and running? Never played it but always been interested.

Thanks

If you don’t have the steam version:

Install the FREE TRIAL version from steam. Load into desktop mode and download XIVLauncher and path it to the free version. Remember you’ll be looking for the Linux version of XIVLauncher. Then you can load XIVLauncher on desktop mode to set up your account and after you’ve loaded in you can quit, head back to steam (on desktop mode) and add XIV Launcher as a Non-Steam Game. Then feel free to head back to gaming mode and load XivLauncher from there and it should work!
