To make the story short, I had to download FFXIV through Lutris as the steam version was linked to an old account in which I no longer have the information.

After watching a video, the guy uses Lutris to search for FFXIV online and 3 options come up:

- Stand alone

- Playstation

- Windows

Once I click on Windows, 3 other options pop up but they are different than his…While he gets:

- Official standalone

- XVILauncher (the correct choice in his video)

I get these other options:

- Flatpack XIVLauncher (does not work)

- Official standalone (the one he says not to use)

- Official Free Trial (not in his video but the Trial is what im trying to get to)

I tried the "Official trial and started downloading the game but twice I’ve gotten ““error downloading update”” which got me wondering if I am using the right option from Lutris

any help would be appreciated!

(my apologies if I sound very noobish, I am lol)
