After closing launcher Steam keeps showing that FFXIV is still running

OS: Fedora 40 KDE Steam: Steam Beta Branch: Stable Client Steam Version: 1718904662 Steam Client Build Date: Thu, Jun 20 8:14 PM UTC -08:00 Steam Web Build Date: Thu, Jun 20 3:04 AM UTC -08:00 Steam API Version: SteamClient021

The title is self-explaining. After closing the launcher, Steam keeps showing that the game is still launched. It prevents fast closing of the Steam because it tries to shut down the nonexisting game.

If you are on Flatpak XIVLauncher this is expected, as Flatpak broke what we used to allow XIVLauncher and Steam to communicate properly.

There is no fix right now, other than using the community package for your distro.

Same thing happens for me using the Arch aur package xivlauncher

I was experiencing this issue and the documentation suggested ditching the launcher flatpak and instead installing it as a compatibility tool.

I am on bazzite (non steamdeck) and this fixed my issue.
