Symptoms

Like its sister games Red Orchestra 2 and Killing Floor 2, Rising Storm 2 tries to install .net everytime you play it. On my previous set up (under Kubuntu) I would sometimes get crashes on launch or when changing maps (I discuss this more at length at the Killing Floor 2 bug page) but since moving to Manjaro I have not gotten these crashes with this game. So far its just the annoyance of the .net install issue

Some time ago, there was a problem with Easy Anti-Cheat, but it started working a couple months ago? I didnt have the game before then, I bought it because people on protondb said it was working, which it is. You can play the game pretty much perfectly on my set up save for the annoyance of the .net install issue.

Reproduction

Install, start game.

@Zorrototo yes, it's not that suddenly EAC accepts Linux, it just doesn't work. Proving its usefulness once again =D

Though there is the faint possibility that RS2 suddenly distributes a wine EAC binary, the same way Squad does but that sadly doesn't seem to be the case here.

If you read the reply in the link I posted TWI staff confirmed they broke EAC in the current update.

Not gonna happen, these devs never released the Linux client they announced before the KF2 game launch, they were reluctant to even release Linux binaries for its server (took multiple years of pressure from the server owners), so for a game (RS2) that doesn't even have Linux binaries for the server, I don't believe one second they would do such thing (not to mention they don't even have the manpower to continue updating the game, if you didn't know, this is the last update for this game, as talked in their last Community live stream).

EAC has been brought back. Anyone running a non-EAC server is welcome.

@Bumbadawg what do you mean? Honestly I just can't believe.

[Zorrototo]

What can't you believe? That the broken EAC has been fixed in the game, or that he asks for a server with no EAC running on it?

[antimech]

Does EAC enabled servers work on Linux now?

[Bumbadawg]

@antimech > Anyone running a non-EAC server is welcome. Thus, no EAC servers will server Linux players.

Sorry I misread that.

And still no fix from tripwire. They fell off after killing floor 1.
