Valve has confirmed that Final Fantasy 14 now works on the Steam Deck.
The popular MMO game, which would previously hang upon opening the launcher, has now been fixed according to the latest patch notes for the Proton experimental branch (via, PCGamesN).
The Proton compatibility layer allows the Steam Deck to run games that have not been ported to natively run on the hardware’s Linux-based operating system.
While the fix is currently available on the experimental test branch, it should soon release to the public branch once stability checks have been run.
The patch notes also list a whole raft of fixes for other games that previously didn’t launch, including Age Of Chivalry, Chrono Cross, Warhammer Vermintide, and Resident Evil Revelations 2.

There’s also a specific fix for Deathloop, which crashed after a long period of the system being suspended, and a fix for which crashed after a long period of gameplay.
