Just wondering what you did. I am using Pop_os.

I installed it with Steam and it seems to almost boot, then crashes, I figure it's just because it's beta - maybe it'll be more stable and work when it actually launches.

Or maybe not because anti cheat - who's know, just looks fun.

It looks like the answer is a resounding no.

Erp - new to Linux gaming, I forget about protondb.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hopefully itll work when it's out of beta.

I checked the EAC logs and it says Linux is whitelisted. My guess is it's something wrong with VKD3D, as this game runs on DirectX 12.

from the bits and pieces I've read on the official Discord (ugh), they're using two anticheat solutions. EAC is whitelisted, but their own one doesn't support Proton yet. they're actually working on changing that, supposedly, but it's not their priority at the moment.

Ye I've found that out too, they said they'd allow it once the game gets released
