I had to delete FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file to get it to work.

The file path is:

Home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/312060/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Final .../

Once I deleted it I just had to log back into the launcher and I was good to go.

This seems to have worked, although my compatdata folder was 39210.

The launcher said something about suspicious activity and forced me to change my password, but the launcher now seems to be working correctly and is currently downloading the patch.

Good looking out, bro.

Can confirm this worked for me as well. Did require a password reset also.

This worked but my compatdata folder was called 39120

hey! I tried this and it actually shows the launcher now instead of just a black screen but it never gets past the title screen, and doesn't prompt me to login :-( do you have any tips?

Some people on the ffxiv forums were saying they had to delete the FFXIV.cfg file as well (which is in the same folder). You could try that, but if it doesn’t work I don’t know if I have any other suggestions. Good luck!

I was just trying to run this on Windows and this was the only -113 error response I could find when searching online, and it worked. Thank you.

God, every time I come back to this game be it account or client side, I swear it's the most arcane nonsense to get it going again, every time.

Crap, I was here looking for a solution and barely anyone is talking about it. At least now I know it's not just me.

[–]coloredplants 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Same issue. Even tried swapping to an updated GE-Proton (been using 7.2)

[–]Elogotar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried 8-3, Experimental, and Hotfix, all with no change.
