Is it really that bad?
Yes.
I wonder if shit like that will eventually lead to more people using wine in windows, in order to sandbox rootkits. Helldivers 2 works fine with proton on Linux, at least.
The absurdity of having a reason to run wine on windows through WSL is amusing.
God, it's so convoluted I'll become a monk first.
If Linux gaming continues to increase in popularity, I imagine the anti-cheat will start to crawl its way out of the WINE environment and into the native system. But I actually have no clue about how these AC work or is handled by WINE.
Most likely result of this setup becoming popular is the anti-cheat working harder to detect being sandboxed in this manner.
Since it's the same thing a cheater would do to defeat the anti-cheat.
Maybe people will transition slowly over to linux
