Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn’t run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).
So some random new game is enough for you to change your whole operating system?
I just kept Linux on my PC and bought an XBox because Windows isn’t good for much else.
I just don’t play games that don’t work on Linux. I use Linux for other reasons, gaming is just the cherry on top. I have 100 or so games on my wishlist and hundreds of unplayed games in my library that all work fine on Linux, so I’m not hurting for choice.
Cool, so since you left linux why are you posting this here?
We all know windows is more compatible by design of the capitalism machine, we left it by choice for a reason.
Why so hostile? Responses like yours are not going to make people come back to Linux anytime soon.
I have to agree with @semperverus - I find this post as dumb as going to a windows forum as posting about having moved to linux.
Nah, it doesn’t work because the developer doesn’t want it to. EAC works really well on Linux, the developer just has to enable it, which takes literally less than 10 seconds.
All the developer needs to do is push a button to make EAC work. They’re probably busy hotfixing the 1.0 but I’m sure it’ll work soon, they are excluding all steam deck users by not pressing it
If it’s that easy, why isn’t there a mod or fix for people on Linux to do it themselves?
It’s configured from EAC, not in code.
Precision guesswork here, but probably because it’s serverside.
I guess I didn’t even think about the possibility that the servers are also running on Windows. Who does that? Ew.
No… They meant that the way EAC works is configured from the game’s developper end. Just like how you can’t mod your equipment in MMOs because your data is being stored on the game’s server
