Hi devs,
I’d love to play Crossout on Linux, but currently the game doesn’t launch due to Easy Anti-Cheat not being enabled for Proton.
Many other developers have enabled EAC support for Proton via Epic Online Services, which allows Linux and Steam Deck users to play without compromising anti-cheat.
Could you please consider enabling EAC for Proton? There’s a growing Linux player base and this would make a big difference, not just to Linux Desktop, but also to Steam Deck users. Thank you for considering it!
Best regards,
A hopeful LinuxDeck player

Devs don’t read this forum, you’ll need to file a support ticket.
The game runs fine with Steam proton on linux.
You just need to start the crossout.exe directly by tinker the launch arguments or add it as an non-steam game. Use Proton 9.0-4
Crossout launch arguments: “/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Crossout/bin/win64/Crossout.exe” %command%
as non-steam game: target: “/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Crossout/bin/win64/Crossout.exe”
start in: “/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Crossout/bin/win64/”
(disadvantage: steam can not track you archivments and play-time)
I use the launcher first. only to get the updates. After that i start the game, which will start the AntiCheat in front by itself and then the game.
It runs fast and stable, no complains.

EAC is not the problem. The Crossout devs allow EAC to run on Linux. Some versions of proton do not work, and when it does work it’s far from stable. There’s shader compiling stutter, and it often crashes. When it crashes, some files get stuck open and you have to restart or logout/login.
jep, you have to use Proton 9.0-4 not a newer version.
But than it runs fine. Never had a crash.
I am currently using Manjaro Linux Kernel 6.15.1 KDE/Wayland with AMD 9900X3D, AMD RX 9070XT, before that KDE/X11 and i7-860, NVIDIA GTX 970XT with properitary NVIDIA driver.
So different platforms and software versions over time and it always ran fast and stable.
