Does it run on Linux?

Yes, flawlessly!

Really? When I tried it stopped working at the first real multiplayer part and said some sort of Anti cheat error message before quitting. That would be big if true.

It seems cool and all, but it’s just going to be like any other world survival game. If you’re on a pvp server then it will be dominated by people that never log off. If you’re on a pvp server people are going to put their base near important things and cause things not to spawn.

Same thing happened on Conan Exiles, another funcom game. But at least that one was good solo before Tencent bought Funcom and added a ton of limited time FOMO shit.

20 hours in without a hitch* and loving the game. Bazzite with a 4090.

Regarding your issue, Steam automatically installed the BattleEye runtime for me before it installed the game but I have seen reports on ProtonDB of some folk needing to install it themselves. Not sure how to do that, but maybe a game reinstall would force it.

* Well, first time I booted it up the game erroneously complained my Gen 5 NVMe was too slow. But that message hasn’t come back and it hasn’t stopped me or impacted performance.

Awesome! Cant wait to get back in, I was really bummed out about this one.

Good luck, see you on the sands!
