Genobee 143 Posted October 4, 2020 It doesn't work at the moment. The anticheat won't let it far as I'm aware. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlatMan 718 Posted October 4, 2020 Most likely it will not run. Battleye does not run under Wine or Proton for other games. 12 minutes ago, NotZombieBiscuit said: Why do Linux users always have to state what distro they use. There's thousands of distributions with different versions and software packages. Saying they're on Ubuntu is like saying you're on Windows 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonkaS 215 Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) no I don't think battleye works on linux but even if it did apb checks for DEP which isn't emulated by wine. Edited October 4, 2020 by MonkaS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEP can be fixed, Battleye can not. When EAC was a thing it was possible to run the game but there were some post-login functions that caused a crash, and the launcher is broken unless original .NET Framework DLLs are loaded manually. If you absolutely must single boot Linux and run APB, plugging your GPU into a VFIO virtual machine is your only option and it's incredibly complicated to set up properly. I've had the exact same results with Proton, both the official and GloriousEggroll variants. What I haven't tested yet is the new engine, although the BE issue can only be solved if Little Orbit officially supports Proton.

Catgorl 67 Posted October 4, 2020 Although the future of gaming is looking increasingly bright for Linux users, thus far I've had no luck running the game trough either Proton or WINE. You'll need to dual boot Windows or set up a PCI passtrough VM to play I'm afraid... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So battleye works with proton now? quick google search says otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To clarify, Battleye does NOT currently work with Proton/Wine. For DEP no special patches are required anymore AFAIK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
