You can apparently play it fine on Linux these days: https://www.protondb.com/app/552500
(Obviously there is no kernel level anti-cheat there).
Lmao even free is too expensive with that shit baked in
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.
I enjoyed this game.
Respect for sticking to your principles. You're on the right side of things by not giving in.
I have been meaning to respond earlier but I fell asleep x_x.
i think i need to re-evaluate where I draw rhe line. you are 100% right and shit, if I could remove anti-cheat for a title, it would def be this one because its such a gem compared to other games.
I honestly haven't played it since pvp came out and don't really remember when easy anti-cheat was added. Even though the company does put effort in getting the linux version eac working, shits still wrong and tbh normies like me should be thinking more about it.
Thanks for the heads up. I was about to check whether I’d enjoy it. Saved me some time
Had the exact same reaction. Love that Steam keeps this very visible.
The price would have to go negative before I'd consider adding this to my Steam account to rot in my library unplayed.
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.
Must be free again because I own it. Never played it, definitely didn't pay for it, but it's already in my account.
Yes, i got it for free as well few years ago, never played it.
Can confirm. I got it for free a few years ago and was excited to get another despite never having played this one lol.
I swear I’ll play it one of these days.
Same lol
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 without the fun characters, with unintuitive level design, and just generally feeling kind of sloppy.
I might be being unfair, it's been a long time since I played it.
Same here, although I did play the first couple of levels. I found it kind of boring.
Remember to look up! The skyboxes are high effort art.
