  The fact they mentioned “anti cheat”, it’s going to be your modern online multiplayer games. It’s going to be games like Fortnite, PUBG, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc.

    I would still like to know which and why. Usually there are alternatives out even for those multiplayer games. Example -> all the valve Games / Blizards Games are good too ;)

      sadly most online mp games have kernel-level anti-cheat that doesn’t run on linux

        i can't agree with this general statement. i guess it's important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.

        just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
        - Eldenring Nightreign
        - Dark and Darker (used to work)
        - Helldivers & Helldivers 2
        - Arc Raiders
        - Counter Strike
        - Overwatch
        - DOOM in very different versions
        - Quake Live
        - Hunt Showdown 1896
        - Dead by Daylight
        - Warframe

        with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don't make general statements.

        A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

      Sure, there are alternatives for the games I listed, but if all your friends are playing any of the games I listed, you don’t have many options for Linux outside of something like Shadow or GeForce Now, which admittedly is a pretty solid option for online-only games if you live near their servers.

  You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.

  Literally everything a “normal” gamer plays is not supported on linux.

    Normal gamers don’t just play FPS lol

    • Telodzrum@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s obviously not true

      • BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Obviously how? Who is a “normal” gamer?

      Yeahh they do. 90% of kids with a ps5 wanna play bf6 and pubg etc type games. And if a normie even thinks of gamer they think of fortnite bf and cod.

        We’re talking about Windows vs Linux, not consoles. A normie will think of roblox, which blows all consoles as well as steam/EPIC/etc out of the water.

  I recently found a neat list of games that don’t work due to Anti-Cheat:

  areweanticheatyet.com

  So it’s probably one of the ~700 games.

    Awesome find.

    Looking at the first 4 pages, you’d have to pay me to play the “denied” games.

    I’m not missing a damn thing. :D

  Not the original commenter, but for me it’s Arc Raiders. I’m a fan of extraction shooters and have been messing with the idea of fully switching to Linux and ditching microslop completely, aaaaaaand then Arc Raiders was released

    i’m a linux gamer and can personally confirm arc raiders works on my machine 👍

    Arc Raiders

    Arc Raiders has Platinum status on Linux, meaning it works extremely well under Linux.
