Final Fantasy XIV Online Workaround for Ubuntu 20.04

workaround.txt

I tried to follow @Proton Girl, and other people instructions here, and also some youtube videos, and almost all of them worked, except for the intro video lock.
Here's what I did to get it working:
1: Installed the LAUNCHER only through steam;
2: Hit "Play" once, so it would process the vulkan shaders (but the launcher won't work already)
3: I already had the game downloaded, on a Windows version, so i copied the contents of the Windows version, to my Ubuntu version folder (merged, and replaced everything)
4: Then i followed other people instructions here, about the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file
        4.1: The quoted: "Set "Browser" to "1" instead of "2" in "FFXIV_BOOT.cfg" or the launcher will crash." instruction from @Proton Girl, worked to open the launcher.
        4.2: The quoted: "Set "StartupCompleted" to "1" in "FFXIV_BOOT.cfg" if the launcher gives a java error when updating the game."from @Proton Girl also "must have" worked, cause I didn't experience any Java error.
        4.3: The quoted: "Set "CutsceneMovieOpening" to "0" in "FFXIV_BOOT.cfg" to stop the intro from running as it will lock up the game on a black screen. Note: It will still try to play when idling on the main menu screen and lock up." from @Proton Girl, did not work. That's because this option is not, or is not anymore, listed on the "FFXIV_BOOT.cfg" file. Looking into the Windows version, i found it in another file, the "FFXIV.cfg" file, also located in the same folder, but it only appears after the game starts at least once.
        4.3.1 - So after 4.1, and 4.2 i launched the game once. It showed me the initial screen with the main menu, and then i tried to start, and choose the server. But after that the game froze, as per the intro movie bug.
        4.3.2 - I then copied the value from the "FFXIV.cfg" file, in the Windows version, which was 1, instead of 0, to my ubuntu version. And launched the game again, and this time it WORKED.

I did a couple of dungeons and roulletes already, and its working flawleslly, with no drops in performance at all.

I hope this instructions can help someone, cause I struggled a lot to get here.
