    DayZ on Linux (through Proton)

    BlackSunMK posted a topic in General Discussion

    Hey everyone! Just today I read this article , where they asked developers if they'd enable support for the compatibility tool Proton for Linux when they made it ready to support Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye (for the upcoming Steam Deck). They asked Bohemia Interactive as well and their answer was "maybe". I really hope you consider enabling it! DayZ is one of the few reasons I still dual-boot Linux and Windows. I love the game, the recent updates are nice (seriously, keep up the good work!). I have over 1800 hours, but unfortunately I couldn't enjoy the game as usual the last year practically, since the person I usually play with is having frequent crashes under Windows (probably due to hardware issues) but Linux is working fine for him. We are going to play soon again since he finally can afford a new PC, but it'd be a pleasant surprise to be able to play DayZ on Linux when support for BattlEye is ready (hopefully at the end of 2021). I know the player base on Linux is probably really small, but I've read it would be only a minor inconvenience to enable Proton Support for BattlEye. The game even seems to work perfectly fine in singleplayer with Proton so far. Just consider, it would not only help the people who are going to play with the Steam deck but the Linux community as a whole. :)
