It did alright, don’t think I saw that many obvious cheaters in BF1. BF5 would occasionally have obvious cheaters, but I would hope they get banned eventually just because it’s over the top (shooting people through walls, infinite ammo, perfect aim). Difficult to say with more subtle cheats, but I suppose if they’re indistinguishable from players who are just good at the game then I think most people won’t ever notice.

On the flip side I got permabanned from multiplayer in BF5 after EA falsely accused me of cheating, though I suppose that could’ve happened with any kind of anti-cheat, and could’ve been fixed by having half-competent support.

I think FairFight is the old anti-cheat, which at least used to be server side only.

Unfortunately most Battlefield games worked fine with Wine/Proton for years since EA used server side AC, so they already have our money.

I’ve never got my Vive to work well in Linux, even though I’m using X which supposedly still is better for gaming that Wayland.

What is the solution?

My guess is that Microsoft wants provide some kind of kernel level anti-cheat, possibly directly integrated with directx, and it will use cryptography which will make it impossible to emulate with Wine/Proton.

So sad that they didn’t fix the AC until the game had been around for years, I would’ve loved to play it in the beginning when the player skill was more varied. Tried to get into it when Linux was allowed but it seemed like mostly the try-hards were still playing. Had some good games but it was a bit too sweaty for my friends at times.

I tried playing it through Wine during season 2 or 3, the game worked flawlessly but you would get kicked after 1-5 minutes due to missing AC.

The first game was named Battlefield 1942, so technically there hasn’t been a “1” in the series before this :) It came out in 2016 so it’s not really new, but I bought it last year and played it on Linux for a few hours with friends, and it still has an active player base.

Have they stated that they’re going to support Linux or at least Proton/Wine? I did a quick search on the game’s Steam forum and it sounded like it doesn’t work currently.

Hopefully, yes. But I’m sure MS and some hardware manufacturers salivate at the thought of being able to create a completely locked down computer platform. I own neither, but aren’t both iPhone and Playstation users locked into the manufacturers’ respective stores? Those seems to be perfectly legal in the EU.

It’s a functional programming language, so you have to think quite differently when using it if you’re used to imperative programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Python, Basic). I learned it at uni and it was quite fun, but I wouldn’t know how to write a larger project in it.

Nikki and the Robots, it’s written in Haskell

I initially wrote 100, but when starting to look through my Steam library I realized how few games had that few reviews. All the indie games I thought might be borderline unknown turned out to have 5k+ reviews.

It sucks when this happens, but the article also says:

Update 20/11/23 14:33 UTC — Crytek responded to note: “This is a known issue and we are working on it to fix it and apply the fix for the resolution as soon as possible.”

So not ideal but at least the devs want to support Linux.

And you’re 100% sure you installed it in the correct wine prefix? Because that’s the tricky part, and having it installed in a different wine prefix won’t work.

I had the same “unable to detect uplay” error except for a different Anno game. Here’s how I solved it, if you want to try:

• Install ProtonUp-Qt, then add SteamTinkerLaunch using it.
• In Steam, go to Properties… for the game that needs Ubisoft Connect. Then Compatibility tab, check “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, and select “Steam Tinker Launch” from the dropdown.
• Start the game, and quickly press the “MAIN MENU” button at the bottom of the window.
• Click “One time run”, choose the UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe that you downloaded and click “RUN COMMAND”

I don’t have any specific resource for you, but I think xp to lvl 3 mentioned it in some of his favourite homebrew videos. If you search his videos for “injuries” you get a few hits.

Other consequences could include death of NPCs, destruction of nature or some landmark that the characters care about (e.g. an ancient temple), loss of possessions/money, or permanent scars and injuries which can’t be fully healed except with the most potent magic.

Unless it has been changed, I believe Valve described their algorithm along the lines of “7 days after your purchase it will count towards the OS you’ve used the most to play it. If you haven’t played the game at that point it will counts towards the OS you used to buy it”

With a previously installed client I was able to buy and download Diablo II: Ressurected, but after starting it it immediately stated that my setup was to outdated to run this game. I highly doubt that, since I have more than the minimum requirements.

Every time I launch Diablo 4 it says my GPU isn’t supported, but I just click “ok” and the game starts anyway.

Thank’s a lot mate! Assumed a bot would instantly grab all the keys, as usually happens on reddit, but it was still there after I checked my Steam account so I didn’t already have it (Disco Elysium)

edit: sorry @CAPSLOOKFTW@feddit.de ,your comment wasn’t there when I first loaded this page, it only showed up now when I reloaded it. Better luck next time.
