I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Unfortunately Easy Anti Cheat doesn't agree with your allegations.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

At least they offer a Linux version

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have no issues playing games with Easy Anti Cheat or Battleye.

Can you demonstrate this claim? Which games and what setting adjustments did you make?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Halo MCC, BattleBit, and Apex Legends all work from my library without any tweaks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No tweaks, just install the runtimes for the anticheats first in Steam

Ark, and no adjustments made.

Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because of EAC

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Correction: Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because the developers fear an uptick on cheaters caused by EAC being less invasive on Linux than on Windows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't know they did anything about cheaters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But that's a choice made by Garry Newman, not a limitation of the platform

Nope. Rust on servers with EAC enabled doesn't work, because Face Punch refuses to support Linux.

I currently play on a server (without EAC) with a group of friends. They all use Windows and I run Linux. It plays as smooth as butter.

Yes, you are correct, but EAC continues to be a problem on Linux.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's not EAC that's the problem.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

what do you mean rust has run on linux for like ever and how does EAC have anything to do with a programming language
