Well this quite a surprise. THE FINALS is one of the most popular new online FPS games that uses Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services, and as of a recent update — it works on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.

    This game is so fun. It’s one of the only games I play that couldn’t be played on Linux. Very glad they’re fixing this.

      Try to play a competitive online game without anti-cheat and see if it is still fun.

      The embark account thing is kinda annoying when you already have steam but literally all you have to do is confirm your email. And the anti cheat is required because without it there would be even more hackers than the already is. Try to find a good game that is popular, multiplayer, with no anti cheat and no need for one because nobody cheats.

    I can enjoy this game for like 10 mins and I need a break. I follow the markers and then I’m in the middle of nowhere just to follow markers and do it again.

    Doesn’t seem to run correctly for me on my PC or Deck - after reaching the main menu it hangs and then I receive a generic “The application has hung and will now close” error with Proton Experimental. GE Proton results in an unauthorized modification error at launch.

    But, I’m glad to see progress is being made regardless! Just not sure why it doesn’t work for me lol.

    No official announcements means you could get banned for trying it. Don’t do it.

      It’s F2P, just don’t buy any cosmetics and make a new account if it gets banned.

      Respawn/EA have never announced Linux support for Apex Legends, as far as I can tell, and it’s been working most of the time for the past two years, except for the few times when they’ve botched an update (and which they fixed it afterwards).

      The Finals used to kick me before I’ve got to the main screen, claiming the lack of anticheat as a reason. now the launch shows EAC window loading and lets me fully through, so it seems quite obvious to me that they’ve enabled the support on their end.

      That’s pretty normal tho.

      I also do not care. That would just mean going back to not playing it. Boohoo.

      If they can’t help banning people for playing on Linux, that’s honestly a bigger problem for the devs than me, imo.

      Intentional, the game is made by Battlefield alums. This also means that playing the objective influences your score more directly than kill count does.

      Idc if it’s an unpopular opinion, complaining about ai voices in games is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever in my life heard people get upset about.

      You DONT want game characters to be able to intelligently respond to events in game and the things you do? What??

      This conversation should be purely concentrated around how they compensate the actors for using their voice as an AI training tool.
