Linux finaly working!

[KWAIVE EN ENFEUR]

Don't know if something happen on dev side but the game is finaly working on my side (decided to retry it today after I saw the update)

Played a few games already without any issues :)

EAC is available on Linux. All the devs have to do is a tick a checkbox on their end and it's on. It actually is just that easy.

Is it though? People claim this, but who knows if this is true? Unless there are official statements how do people know that this is just a simple checkbox to enable the support on a technical level?
Also there is more to it than just enabling it, because this means the developers get more reports of problems involving Linux. And they may even not have the man power or knowledge to deal with it.

yes,thats the official statement from valve and epic.and its proton...

I would like to have at least one source for this claim. That Valve or Epic Games said officially to enable EAC on Linux would require only a checkbox make the game playable (if nothing else hinders compatibility off course).

anyone getting cloud sync error? I dont plan on playing this much if at all on my steam deck, but I wanted to try it out and it complains about cloud sync. The store page doesn't say it has cloud saves, im just worried it'll ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ up if I accept without syncing. (I imagine profile and stuff is stored on embarks end somewhere)

No problems over here with cloud saves

Check the developers documents...

Something wrong with your rig.

110fps on Windows, 140fps in 'nix.
Runs flawlessly. Don't even know the last time it crashed (I don't think it has) and the only problem I've run into is people leaving the game but they still show up in my team. I think that's a universal weird thing, though.

Yep - check the docs. Proton even has an official shim for EAC.

On a side note, Battlefield 2042 released without EAC. Worked flawlessly in linux. Then they added EAC after the botpocalypse and it never worked again. No refund, too many hours, get rekt.

Embark added it within like a day of complaints. 10/10 Embark.

It works well on Linux Mint (basicly ubuntu with better interface) and AMD ryzen 5500 and Nvidia, except the voice chat that makes the game crash.

This is one thing that confuses/surprises me. I've never had a problem with VC.
Fedora, AMD/AMD

Looks like the latest patch broke it. I had a blast playing last night but today after the patch it's crashing right after connecting to a match.

Really? I'm going to go give it a shot in just a few minutes. Did you get an error?

Played a whole match of Bank It. No problems.

It was pretty consistent for me and I had seen other reports with the same issue. It would be awesome if it's a different issue though, so I'll try again tonight. Some people have had to clear their compatdata folder from time to time so it may be unrelated to the patch.
