    R6S doesnt work in windows either (if virtualized).

    Since when did GTAO stopped working on linux tho? Did it introduce an anticheat as well?

    The source code for rainbow 6 is probably in the wild now from the christmas mongo hack. It may be fixable. Maybe, it’s development was fraught, that code might be a nightmare.

    jokes on you, i only play video games that is made by a atleast “Decent” company,not made in a slopware engine like Unity,unreal?(the engine isnt bad itself its just the company,also includes the middle ware it uses if the middle ware is also usable by free software too,made by a company with good track record or heavily modified),doesnt do kernel level anticheat,moddable in some way.

      Unreal - the engine - has fallen from grace. Not just due to all the slop produced with it, but because it’s horribly overengineered.

      Nowadays it’s rate to come by with an engine that is purpose built. Now each and every engine must account for most popular game genres at the moment, that could be done with them.

          It’s used for 2d/3d animation, modelling, live events, broadcasting, virtual architecture, simulation, gaming, and probably many I’m not even aware of.

          It’s designed to be modular and is open source (source available with a share-alike license).

          One common thing that even Epic comments on is how the default UI is meant to show you how it works but many games don’t even change it.

          If you’re making a game then you should turn off all the modules you aren’t using so it doesn’t ship with your game.

          If you’re loading data in then you should load it on a separate thread but many use the game thread and it results in people with low IQ thinking it’s the engine’s fault.

          Wouldn’t be that bad, but it’s a multiple decades old engine. In fact, it’s first version even had software rendering for PCs without 3D accelerators.

    Apex runs on Linux. We used to play it, but then they blocked it actively because there were too many cheaters on the platform. I’m sure the cheater problem has been subsided now that it’s blocked /s

    If they “allow it”, you can just play it again.

    You can use https://launcher.moe/ 's software for Hoyo games btw. The top one is the one for Genshin Impact.

    Though last I installed Genshin on Linux I remember there being a slight chance of getting banned because you had to disable the anticheat to run it on Linux, but I never had it happen to me and I’m not sure if that’s still valid.

      The game’s anticheat is very tame generally. I’ve seen some friends run all sorts of cheats with no real repercussions, only getting a one week temp ban for editing their damage to the maximum integer limit.

    I know a lot of you don’t care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don’t. I’ve talked to quite a few people that wouldn’t switch to Linux because X game doesn’t run on it.

      Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn’t really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn’t retain the functionality of my games.

          Because I don’t really run Windows 2000 on my main machine. It was sarcasm.

          Plus… Running mint on my main, and I’ve tried a couple of emulators and VMs to try to run MW2 and none of them do a good job of it, especially if you want to use a controller or joystick. Frankly, If I had a real heavy hankering for my vintage games, I’d just build an airgapped legacy system specifically for running that game.

      Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.

      I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2’s early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.

      Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.

          What would you recommend I do so that I wouldn’t have ran into those issues? Suck it up and keep dealing with the headaches?

          I’m no fan of Windows either, but it lets me play games when I want to play them.
