- cjbconnor 6y agoMany of the multiplayer games I play won't work on linux, typically due to the anticheat software they use. Also, there's typically a few hoops to jump through for popular games.
- fartcannon 6y agoWith proton, the hoops are rare, not typical.
- leetrout 6y agoI have to use golden egg roll fork but it has been very impressive what it will run.
- sergeykish 6y agoAnticheat is a rootkit, right? That's almost complaining Windows viruses does not run in Wine.

- the_only_law 6y agoYeah well thats just modern software I guess. Malware as a feature.
- jay_kyburz 6y agoJust for balance, I use KDE Plasma with an AMD graphics card but almost no games work, even those with a "gold" rating on ProtonDB. I haven't had time to Google how to debug the problem, but only about 1 in 10 games "just work" Update: OK, instead of surfing HN I googled the problem. I think it may be that my games are installed on an NTFS drive. I will try moving the installs to a new drive and see if I have more success!
