Square Enix Breaks Final Fantasy XII With a Bad Update on Steam

Square Enix has released an update for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on PC and PlayStation 4. The company tried to add some features that they had introduced in the FFXII for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, but something went wrong. On Thursday, users reported the Steam version is broken.

The Zodiac Age was released on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in April 2019 and these versions were added with some new features like AI rebalancing and ability to reset your specialization in game. Now, Square Enix has added these features to PC and PS4.

Also, the patch for the Steam version removed the Denuvo protection system and the steam_api64.dll file — this one is critically important. As it turned out, the PC version of FFXII broke down after the update and it was instantly reported in the Steam Community Center.
