More BattlEye-Protected Games Now Working With Steam Play On Linux

Fortnite working?

They're probably a bit busy with getting Chapter 3 out to the masses after today's huge end-of-season event. Also, Chapter 3 is supposed to be built on Unreal Engine 5, so even more work for the devs. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a way to run on Linux once the UE5 port stabilizes a bit. The Steam Deck+Linux is definitely much more worth targeting than just the current Linux population as far as ROI is concerned.

Sweet! ArmA 3 has had a Linux build for years, but it was limited and not compatible with the base game. It'll probably be better in Proton/Wine.

It is and has better performance than the unmaintained native version. Has worked wonders for some time now, you were able to create private instances with friends and join AC-less public servers. Game itself runs great! Anyway, private games with friends is the way to go even with public servers now working.

Playing PlanetSide 2 on Proton 6.3-8 for almost a week. Works better than on Windows - it stutters for me there for some reason.

The reason usually is AMD D3D9-11 driver.

Playing PlanetSide 2 on Proton 6.3-8 for almost a week. Works better than on Windows - it stutters for me there for some reason. Still has issues with launcher being black\white, but that was easily fixed by launch arguments.

They've temporarily (probably permanently) abandoned the Linux-build so it's several major versions behind the Windows-release, and it has some severe limitations.

It kinda worked in Proton last time I tested, but you wouldn't be able to join any multiplayer servers as most of them are BattleEye-enabled and would kick you out upon joining. That last part is hopefully no longer the case.

Well...the old 90's hit from Envogue comes to mind:
