easy anti cheat linux

[aniketfuryrocks]

Would love Linux support. The game does launch, but gets kicked out of the server due to easy anti cheat eye. Please be the first few to officially enable easy anti cheat support on Linux.

there's a way to install easy anti cheat on linux but you need to install the game with crossover or a app equivalent its been too long since I had my linux gaming build I had it on Gentoo but that was before steam had their own OS I had everything working perfectly fine except sound drivers had to get a different card and run that for sounds...other than that faster response times lower latency etc mucho better than winblows I hope you can figure this out or they fix it.

Yeah, actually this ain't Valve's fault. Valve's honestly worked hard to get more and more games running fine on Linux, even down to working directly with at least two (thus far) of the biggest anti-cheat vendors (EAC and Battleye) to convince them to enable an option for Proton/WINE users in their anti-cheat software.

Now that option exists, and in one case is a simple anti-cheat version upgrade and a couple clicks in a control panel, and in the other case is even easier (shoot an email to Battleye to have the option enabled). That puts it firmly in the court of the developer/publisher to decide they want to accept an easy path to opening their game up to potentially literally millions more sales added atop those they already have open, and all with little to no extra support effort required on their part.

Those developers and/or publishers who choose not to partake of all the free work that's been done for them in order to enable easy access to yet another entire segment of PC users with nearly no effort required on their part are actively making a foolish choice.

@POLYGON devs: Please look into fixing your anti-cheat so that Proton/SteamOS users can enjoy your game as well. It's been made simple for you, so do consider taking advantage of it.

Yup, I just get annoyed when people say that: "Oh, it's your fault that you are trying to play a game on a non gaming OS", ♥♥♥♥♥, I play games on whatever OS I want, it's not my fault that a spyware anti cheat doesn't work on my OS.

Yes, it is simple to update the anti cheat to support linux, but you aren't considering other issues. After Proton/SteamOS support came out we did update EAC to support these players, but this caused way more issues than it fixed. In fact a large amount of players were getting crashes before they could even get into the game after this. So we had to return back to the earlier version of EAC. This has been talked about in previous forum posts.

In the future, we will have linux support, but for now that build of EAC is too unstable for Polygon to use. Please be patient

Dont support Linux , all multiplayer games on PC will be even more full of cheaters as they already are, Linux cant be harnessed because everyone can compile his own "cheater kernel" very quickly

Seriously, what is with you people and all your outright lies? What is so broken in your brains that you just can't resist telling these obvious lies about things you know less than nothing about?

I'm asking seriously here. I'd really like to know. I truly don't understand what horrible thing happened to you people to make you so broken that your only joy in life comes from actively trying to cause harm to the world around you with no valid reasoning behind your actions. Can you explain? Perhaps people might be understanding and sympathetic/empathetic if you can come up with some sort of explanation that even begins to justify your actions. As much as people like to throw around the "paid Microsoft shill" explanation, I'm actually fairly certain that you idiots aren't smart enough to negotiate a paycheck for this sort of stupidity, even if Microsoft were foolish enough to take that sort of PR risk, so what's your logic here. What drives you to lie so blatantly in the presence of people who all know better and put your stupidity on display for the entire world to see like this?

And don't say it's because you actually believe the lies you're saying, because nobody who uses more than two brain cells actually believes that Linux somehow increases the danger of cheating, or that the ability to compile one's own kernel from source code could possibly have the slightest impact one way or the other here compared against the absolute army of Windows-based cheaters and their massive toolboxes of "script kiddie" toys in existence constantly ruining multiplayer gaming everywhere they can.

You need more schooling.....are you seriously that dense?
How do you function irl?
How like...you...I don't even know any more people like you and the crap you say make me feel like I have less brain cells after reading this absurd bs.

Windows versions of games are already over inundated with cheats those that know how to program and compile have cheats within the first few hours of a games launch if they know the workings of the anti cheat systems etc.....Supporting *nix is a good thing even if you choose no not believe it....the way the nix kernels handles everything including packet flow actually improves overall gaming experiences when you know how to set it up right.

I used to have a linux gaming rig I built myself I used a program called crossover to help me install certain things the only issue I had was the sound chipset driver... bought a new sound card fixed that I had over all lower pings and higher fps than most people who played the games I did back in the day.

Point is no matter what OS it is cheaters are going to cheat the people who make them are going to keep making them choosing to not support a OS because of your absurd beliefs is redundant.

The game is working on linux now

Well not really. When I try to queue, the game would output an error: "LogEOS: Error: Net driver failed to set up Anti-Cheat session." Which tells me that this might probably an issue to the anti-cheat they used. Also, my setup is somewhat odd but I will try this on other Linux distribution.

The game works for me on Ubuntu Linux using Steam Proton since I installed it a few days ago.
