FFXI for me. It’s a lot better post Steam Deck, but last time I set it up on Linux (maybe a year ago) a lot of the visual mods that are registry-based weren’t working properly, the font rendering was awful, and certain addons and plugins just didn’t work (guildwork in particular since it launches a background exe, others related to showing/hiding certain UI elements.) It runs, but it’s far from comfortable. Might be good enough in a VM and I’ll probably try again next time I resubscribe.
But yea, that game seems a bit messy for my taste as how it programmed 🤭 not experienced coder here, but what you describe sounds like it is as windows: programmed like a patchwork rug.

Resubscribe? Is FFXI paid by subscription?! 🤯
