Let me(a linux user) play multiplayer!

[NaWa]

I hate that linux as a operating system always has been excluded from playing games that has EAC. I have heard is dead simple to let us enjoy the game too by simply pressing a button in the EAC SDK. I dont get why its not on by default but developers either A) dont want linux users because they see linux as another oppertunity for hackers to find vulnerabilities. Or B) just hate linux. If its option A its a poor reason. Alot of other games like Apex legends and Brawlhalla has EAC and they let me play the game and i have yet to see hackers in any of them! So please atleast try enable linux support because this was an awesome game when i first played it on windows.

it would also be great for the steam deck, at least I can play absolver even when I'm in the toilet <3

this should get the game run with EAC
Proceed at your own risk most Linux users should be advanced enough to know what they are doing.
you are welcome

Unfortunately there is no way to play this game on linux as far as I know (and there never will be).
They didn't make it compatible probably because the game itself has a very messy code (by their own admission they said it would be easier to rewrite the entire game than do some changes); also the devs abandoned this project 5 or 6 years ago and they won't come back to it for any patches, fixes or anything else.
BUT maybe there could be a way, I personally have never done it but I think if you manage to create a partition on your machine to install windows on, you should be able to run it.

I have a few problems with this "solution". The first issue is that i only got 1 graphics card. I used to have a single gpu passthrough VM to be able to play some other games but my cpu is weak as hell and sharing that with the VM gave me horrible performance(i was lagging on roblox). My second issue is that we shouldn't see this as a solution anyway. The entire idea of this post and every other post about getting ♥♥♥♥ to work on linux is to make it work out of the box. I don't know but personally having the devs press a single button in the SDK is a much easier solution that having hundreds or even thousands of people do this wacky VM thing. Thanks for the response tho!

the big idea behind KVM is performance and security while running near-metal performance this shouldn't take much effort if you know what you are doing.
I always keep separate pc for games away from my linux systems , just in case if I need to run any game on linux with anti-cheat systems , waiting for patches for old game is kinda hard , I advise you that better go with this solution than just waiting with nothing.

I am still running on pretty bad specs, atleast for virtualization. Even though im aware that this is a possible solution i'm better of dual booting because of my specs. However i did not install linux just to play my games on windows again that would be silly and stupid. I wanted to make this post to let the devs know that linux playes wanna play their game and hopefully they would enable linux support by pressing that button. And if now hell broke lose they can just disable it just as easy.
