Well… shit.
At least they confirmed they’re working on enabling EAC correctly… at some point.
Enabling EAC is a simple checkbox you click in the dashboard when you build the executable afaik. How can this be so hard?
Official support is a higher bar than “we did the bare minimum to make sure it’s theoretically possible for Proton to run it.” They’re probably just doing a little testing to make sure everything works decently before endorsing their product on Linux.
You have an uncomfortably low bar for success.
See this comment from OP. Seems like EAC is enabled, they just don’t have specific support for making sure it actually works on Linux.
the fuck is wardogs
Another Battlefield clone.
Apart from “guns go pew pew” it’s literally nothing like Battlefield.
That’s dumb. It shares a lot of traits with Battlefield. It’s large scale, arcadey vehicles (I assume), arcadey run-and-gun gameplay it seems, and many other things, like the style (not realism, but like an enhanced over-the-top realism).
Sure, it isn’t a clone of Battlefield, I agree, but it’s fairly similar to Battlefield. It’s clearly targeting the same players. The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that it isn’t EA. I don’t know much about this studio, but they can’t be as bad as EA.
Shooti-game:
Nice to see some transparency from the devs and owning up to their mistakes.
A “we’re working on it” is always a win in my book.
They don’t have to support linux, just don’t block us via anti cheat. Their response isn’t clear whether or not we can play it.
I can confirm EAC boots up and the main menu (or rather the “Playtest not live yet” thingy) is visible, so I’m positive they enabled Linux EAC. However it sounds like they don’t have QA set up for Proton-on-Linux yet so they simply do not know if it will work out.
So… it’s not supported, but might just work good enough.
Good to know. I was expecting it to not work with their AC yet. Honestly, I don’t care that much if it is officially supported, as long as it runs. I’d like official support, but most games don’t officially support Linux and they work fine.
So it works but they don’t have a process in place to ensure it works. That doesn’t meet their standard for official support and so they retracted their claim that they support Linux via Proton. But they also made clear that they plan on getting that process in place.
That’s honestly the best possible position.
Lol does this mean I saw a bunch of news articles pop up because of a discord post? Nice… Hope they appreciate the PR and dedicate some resources now that they’ve seen how responsive the community is
Well shit, I was just getting myself hyped for this.
“Whoops we made a Mac version.”
happens, good that they don’t rule it out
There’s no connection between what you wrote and were downvoted for and this.
orly, care explain how a proton build isn’t a Linux build?
Well if they beta this weekend rolls around and it doesn’t work I’ll refund and wait for the official it is supported to buy it. People were playing it on Linux before though so I’m hoping it still works.
