It took me a looong time to get FFXI working on Linux. In the end I got it working by NOT doing what the majority of the three different guides I found instructed. They are needlessly complicated. SO I'm going to outline what I did to get FFXI running on my Manjaro Linux KDE set up. Installing it is really easy actually. Of course, each system is different and this may or may not work for yours.
1. Install the latest version of Wine. I'm using 1.9.23. DONT use PlanOnLinux or Winetricks.
2. Download "FFXI with everything" at http://nasomi.com/download.php
3. Run 64bit POL.exe
4. Open ffxisetup.exe and install FFXI and all of the expansions. Don't install POL. The program may freeze after it installs each expansion. If that happens, just close it and relaunch ffxisetup.exe. The program should indicate the previous expansion you installed is installed and prompt you to install the remaining expansions.
5. Open the update files folder, and select all the files and copy them
6. Paste all of those files into /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XI/ and overwrite all of the duplicates
5. Run POL.exe. It should be on your menu or located at /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/PlayOnlineViewer/
6. POL will prompt you to update POL. Do it.
7. After POL updates and restarts select existing user. Use ABCD1234, or whatever, as your POL ID and make up a username.
8. On the left side click "Check Files" and CHANGE THE DROPDOWN to read FINAL FANTASY XI.
9. Click "Check Now", this process can take 10-60 minutes. Eventually it will come up with "Repair". Select that. This can take a few hours.
10. Copy the "data" folder located at /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/PlayOnlineViewer/
11. Paste the data folder into /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/FINAL FANTASY XI/
12. Download imm32.dll.so file at: https://github.com/bluffnix/ffxi-wine/b ... m32.dll.so
13. Move imm32.dll.so to /usr/lib32/wine/. Overwrite the file that's already there.
14. Download xiloader at http://cloudef.pw/armpit/xiloader.tar.xz
15. Move xiloader to /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/PlayOnlineViewer/ (may not be necessary but it's where I like to keep it)
16. Open a terminal at /.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/PlayOnline/SquareEnix/PlayOnlineViewer/ and type "wine xiloader.exe --server [IP HERE]"
16. You should be prompted for a login.
Good luck! Let me know if I missed anything. If you need help creating a desktop icon that runs the terminal command let me know.
Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
Hello Magiknight,
Thanks for posting this. I've been working off and on getting this to run for a few months now, and one of the things I've learned is that you can get around your bug in step 4 by running winecfg and choosing the 'Emulate a Virtual Desktop' option. The farthest I've gotten is that xiloader asks for login, succeeds and loads the game window, but I can't get past 'Acquiring Player Data' which eventually times out with POL error 3113.
I am using Linux Mint 18.1 and wine 1.8, though I've tried several guides using various versions of wine and I always get stuck at the same spot.
Other than the wine version, the differences between the steps I've taken and your guide are that I DID install POL whereas in step 4 you did not. Also, wine1.8 seems to contain imm32.dll.so, but it's in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/wine perhaps because I'm running Mint. Here is my terminal output. I've Googled most of the fixme's but haven't found much help. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
Hi Totein. Are you running 32bit or 64bit Mint?
Every version of wine that I've tried contains imm32.dll.so....but it doesn't work with FFXI. That's why you need the one I posted a link to. If I use wine's imm32.dll.so FFXI will load but it wont get me past the character selection screen. Something like that. I highly recommend trying the imm32.dll.so I posted a link to.
Also, you can try installing wine gecko and wine mono through Mints package manager. That's what I had to do for Chakra Linux that I run on my laptop. If you do install gecko and mono don't install the emulated versions in Wine.

Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
Thanks for the quick reply. Where do you recommend I place imm32.dll.so? /usr/lib32/wine is not a directory that exists in my fs.
I tried installing gecko and mono, but I finally got the repos correct to get them with:
which didn't help. The custom xiloader in your link fatally crashed after I got it compiled so I went back to the version I had working.
You also mention not to use winetricks or playonlinux. How then do you get dotnet running, or do you even need to?
Sorry if my questions seem noobish. I've been a Linux professional for years, but don't have much experience with wine.

Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
I don't know anything about Linux I just play around with things until something works!
What folders are in your /usr/ folder?
There are a lot of different xiloaders out there. There's a link to one on Nasomis website and one exclusively for Icons server if you plan on using that server. I'd download three different Xiloades and try them out.
I don't use dotnet.
If you're using 32bit mint make sure you install the 32 bit playonline viewer, otherwise you'll need the 64bit playonline viewer.

Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
You should have a wine folder in your lib32 folder
Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
Welp, I don't have one. I completely uninstalled wine 1.8 and successfully compiled 1.9.23 from source in an attempt to follow your guide directly. I then removed the install files I've been using and grabbed the ones from Nasomi's website.
I can install the 32bit POL via FFXISETUP.exe, but I get the following fatal error when I try to install 64bit. I've tried from Nasomi's torrent and the POL website:
I think I need to recompile wine with --enable-win64, so I'm giving that a shot.

Re: Guide to Install FFXI on Linux
I'm no expert here but I'd make sure you're running a 64 bit OS with 64bit wine. The last line of your output "wine: WINEARCH set to win64 but '/home/johnsi/.wine' is a 32-bit installation." makes it seem like your OS or your versin of Wine is only 32bit compatible.
