Gshade breaking the XIV Launcher on Linux #867

Update disclaimer

What did you do?

I launched the game via the Lutris XIV launcher this morning as usual, and the launcher gave me the following warning: "Gshade symbolic links are corrupted. The game cannot start. Do you want XIVLauncher to fix this? You will need to reinstall Gshade". I hit Yes and receive an error stating: "XIVLauncher could not detect that the game started correctly. This may be a temporary issue. Please try restarting your PC. It is possible that your game instillation is not valid."

I have done the following: Reinstalled XIV via Lutris Reinstalled Gshade via their linux script (https://github.com/HereInPlainSight/gshade_installer) Checked for updates and restarted my computer

The only way the game launches is if I remove Gshade from the game.

The launcher works as expected on my Windows partition.

Platform

Linux (Wine/Proton)

Wine/Proton runner version

lutris-fshack-7.2-x86_64

The issue was on Gshade's end, and has been resolved.
