Battlefield is pretty much the only big online game I enjoy anymore, and since I switched legit it’s the only game that I haven’t been able to play. It’d be great if they can figure out some way to make it work. Cheaters are such a huge problem in battlefield that I understand why they won’t bring it to Linux without knowing how to set up an anti-cheat solution. Battlefield 5 was just unplayable because of the constant bots and cheaters.

I may be tempted to buy their new Battlefield game if they’d support Proton/Linux, but that’s a big maybe. Probably nothing else.

Such a shame what cheating is doing to the market. Some part of me likes the idea of getting the cheaters outta there, but another is going “hold up, what about Linux?”.

The only reason I installed windows was to play a few games like this. I otherwise do not use th windows install for anything. Login, play the games, log out, log into Linux and do everything else I would on a computer.

I used to do the same but I stopped dualbooting about a year ago and have been 100% Linux since then. I am not going back to Windows, even for games.
