There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Unfortunately Easy Anti Cheat doesn't agree with your allegations.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

At least they offer a Linux version

[-] binboupan@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I have no issues playing games with Easy Anti Cheat or Battleye.

[-] Zapp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Can you demonstrate this claim? Which games and what setting adjustments did you make?

[-] bosnia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Halo MCC, BattleBit, and Apex Legends all work from my library without any tweaks.

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ark, and no adjustments made.

[-] binboupan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No tweaks, just install the runtimes for the anticheats first in Steam

Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because of EAC

[-] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 3 points 1 year ago

But that's a choice made by Garry Newman, not a limitation of the platform

Correction: Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because the developers fear an uptick on cheaters caused by EAC being less invasive on Linux than on Windows.

[-] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't know they did anything about cheaters.

Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because of EAC

Nope. Rust on servers with EAC enabled doesn't work, because Face Punch refuses to support Linux.

I currently play on a server (without EAC) with a group of friends. They all use Windows and I run Linux. It plays as smooth as butter.

[-] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, you are correct, but EAC continues to be a problem on Linux.

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's not EAC that's the problem.

[-] lnee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

what do you mean rust has run on linux for like ever and how does EAC have anything to do with a programming language
