[2021] Support for EAC on Proton/Wine

Is it something you can look into?

I’ve asked the question! WIll report back when I hear something

Investigations are continuing with the latest updates from Valve and Epic, too soon to go in to any findings though.

So we have performed all the requisite steps to have this work. We’ve ticked the boxes in the EAC portal, included the files in the appropriate places. Problem is, as you can see, it doesn’t work. We’ve been in touch with both third parties (in this case Epic and Valve), but we’re at a bit of a roadblock truth be told. Those who would work on really digging in to the weeds on this are indeed digging in to Darktide weeds, so aren’t able to spend sufficient time liaising with Valve and Epic to figure out why it’s not working despite doing what seemed necessary.

In short, work on this is on hold for now. We’ll bark up this thread should things spin up again.

Yeah, it’s alive!

And darn, this game is good fun

Steam-native with proton experimental works out of the box for me, including the launcher.

@Fatshark_Hedge Want to have a look at above?

Hedge is no longer working at Fatshark, I’m afraid!

Regarding support for Linux (and the Steam deck) I’m afraid that our stance so far is that we have no official support and that we can’t afford to focus resources on adding that support. It’s possible that we revisit this stance in the future, but we can’t make any promises.
