    You can apparently play it fine on Linux these days: www.protondb.com/app/552500

    (Obviously there is no kernel level anti-cheat there).

    noooo, please ;_; please give the game a chance. I def does work on linux and has prob one of the best gameplay and characters ever. I have 300+ hours (ik it’s small but still)and I fucking love this game. Every massive update they release is included in the base game which honestly feels pretty rare nowadays and even then. One of the main reasons why I ever got into warhammer and not even the 40k stuff.

      I won’t contribute to metrics that allow publishers to think that adding a kernel level root kit to a game is behavior to be rewarded.

    Thanks for the heads up. I was about to check whether I’d enjoy it.

    What really sucks is that it was added somewhat recently with their new pvp mode, which I couldn’t care less about. I paid for the game, and they made it unplayable for me.

      EAC works on Linux, FatShark just didn’t initially choose that option, and about a year ago game became playable again. IIRC you should choose a beta workaround version in your steam client for that.

      Yet, it’s fair to feel salty about that. Versus is a fine gimmick but wasn’t worth introducing EAC, like gatekeeping mods wasn’t too. It is too heavy-handed for a game with a small, tight-knit community, that would rather play a four Bardin game than install wallhack or aimbot for whatever reason.

    Had the exact same reaction. Love that Steam keeps this very visible.

    The price would have to go negative before I’d consider letting this rot in my library unplayed.

  Must be free again because I own it. Never played it, definitely didn’t pay for it, but it’s already in my account.

    I bought it a while back on a friend’s recommendation. I should actually play it again solo, but at the time, I totally hated it; I just couldn’t connect with it. It was way too dark, hard to see what was even going on. And I couldn’t care less about the character I was playing or the gameplay mechanics. To me, it was just a fantasy reimagining of left4dead, but kind of sloppy, and with unintuitive level design.

    I might be being unfair, it’s been a long time since I played it.

  Remember to look up! The skyboxes are high effort art.
