Anti-cheat stops Mecha BREAK running on Desktop Linux but works on Steam Deck
Anti-cheat stops Mecha BREAK running on Desktop Linux but works on Steam Deck
Here we go again. One game I was excited about was the upcoming Mecha BREAK, which currently has a playtest demo on Steam but they've added in anti-cheat.
Warhammer Space Marine 2 multiplayer doesn't work unless you set STEAMDECK=1 in the launch options.
So dumb
Wait so it doesn't detect or do anything to check? It's just "well you said it was" and is ok with that.
It drops the graphics to their recommended settings, but you're free to crank them back up to anything you want. No, it doesn't check in any way. I have no idea why you would do this, it basically only means anyone who doesn't check Proton DB for config advice will think the game is half broken.
I assume this forces the anticheat to run in userspace
Eh? I don't understand. Either it works on Linux, or it doesn't. Seems like the author just doesn't know how to troubleshoot some compatibility issue on whatever desktop Linux distro they're using.
