> Did you do anything differently to be able to get past the start splashscreen?

The only thing I can say I did differently than anything else I've read is I
created the wine prefix using:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.ff WINEARCH=win32 winecfg

The important part being WINEARCH=win32. I did this after trying to run
winetricks ie6 and it giving me an error about the os being 64bit. For some
reason my wine was creating win64 wineprefixes by default. I had to reinstall
wine changing from the x86_64 package to the i686 package (I'm running Fedora
13 x86_64). I figured it had more to do with the Fedora packaging of wine than
anything as this isn't the fist time it has created prefixes with the wrong
architecture for me.

So:
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.ff WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
Install gecko
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.ff sh winetricks winhttp ie6
Install FFXIV from disk(including the directx install)
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine.ff WINEDEBUG=+winsock ~/.wine.ff/drive_c/Program\
Files/SquareEnix/FINAL\ FANTASY\ XIV/ffxivboot.exe

Without the WINEARCH part I couldn't even get the past the "11023 Unable to
access server for version check." or "11014 Version check failed." errors.
With it I patched, logged in and actually entered game. Of course at the
character selection and in game the character model explodes and no other
characters even attempt to render, but that's a different bug:

I tried entering a test result, but it was my first time so I don't know what
happened. The other take away I had put into it was that I had to enable
hardware mouse acceleration, as without it the mouse lagged horribly. You can
enable that in the menus of ffxivconfig.exe . Utterly baffles me that you can't
modify the graphics settings in game, but whatever.
