I'm pretty certian that R6S is not supported on linux, the best you can do is dual boot a windows

I've been looking at this recently. Unfortunately the PoL and WINE support is nonexistent/♥♥♥♥♥ at the moment. It's dual boot I'm afraid.

Lol. :P

Sorry; it's just that there were various threads already made about it, and I assumed that some people are just looking at only one of them (or some other subset).

There actaully is a thing called Proton u can enable in steam settings.
Never tried it, but sounds like it will work.
Simple AF!

Sadly, it doesn't work with R6 Siege and a bunch of other games. ProtonDB and SteamPlay work with about 75% of games very well, but it struggles with a lot of that 25% of other games. It tends to have a lot of issues with games with anti-cheat systems such as BattleEye, which R6 Siege uses and requires. Though ProtonDB is working to try and make games with anti-cheat compatible. Personally, I would say Linux gaming won't be as good as on Windows for at least a year to a few years.

Hey there,

I would advise against bumping old threads.

If you have any trouble and cannot find a current related thread I would recommend to create a new thread.

I will lock this thread to prevent further posts.
