Dragon Ball FighterZ

[2Goat2Furious]

Anyone got this working yet? I see people on YouTube playing it and posts here and there on Linux forums talking about how it just works out of the box. Not my box, for some reason. In fact, it's the only game apart from Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb that I've had trouble getting going.

Debian 12
AMD GPU
Steam installed as .deb rather than a FlatPak
EAC/BattleEye runtimes installed through Tools menu in Library

I tried to play it Offline to begin with, but it complained I need to successfully run it at least once.

Switched to Online mode, see the EAC splash, see the Goku splash, entire screen goes black like it's about to run, then CTD with no error.

Any ideas? Thanks! :)

What version of Proton are you using? It's been a while since I ran it, but I had success with it running GE-Proton.

Thank you for replying! Experimental by default. Have worked backwards to 7 so far with no change.

Try GE-Proton. The reports on ProtonDB say the game launches with that. You can get the latest version by installing ProtonUp-QT.

Unfortunately, the reports are also saying that only the offline mode works. Apparently Namco hasn't enabled EAC to work under Proton.

If this is anything like the EAC Splash Like Elden Ring??

I've been told you can just replace the EAC Splash
with a "Copy" of the Game EXE, & Just rename the File To EAC Splash...

This should eliminate your EAC Splash Error Problem...

No Idea If It Works Offline, But It's Worth A Try?



Again, No Idea If This Is Like The Elden Ring Game, Or Not...
But It Worked For Elden Ring...

It Might Work For Dragon Ball: Fighter Z



Also, No Idea How To Do This On Linux, Only Windows...




Unfortunately, the reports are also saying that only the offline mode works.


Well, That Sux, o_@

EAC doesn't work on DBFZ on linux yet...

...and given the game's history it probably never will, despite this being technically available to the game devs and easy to enable in EAC settings on their end

turning anticheat off seems to allow online play with other players that did the same... you will see fewer players but it should work
