Valve has announced today that BattlEye support on Linux with Steam Play Proton has expanded, with new titles available.
As previously announced, currently all developers need to do to make it work is to email BattlEye. That's it. However, developers will still of course want time to test, so it's not exactly an instant thing. Still, it's fantastic progress and now even more games can be enjoyed.
The current list of support titles has expanded and is now:
- Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
- ARK: Survival Evolved
- Arma 3
- DayZ (avoid the launcher, use the second option Steam gives)
- DayZ also needs a higher max_map_count, you can up it temporarily by doing:
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576
And permanently:
echo 'vm.max_map_count=1048576' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/vm.max_map_count.conf
- DayZ also needs a higher max_map_count, you can up it temporarily by doing:
- Unturned
- Planetside 2 (use "--disable-gpu" as a launch option, otherwise launcher is blank)
Hopefully by the time the Linux-powered handheld Steam Deck starts shipping in February 2022, that list will expand. I'm still personally hopeful we can see the likes of PUBG working.
You should no longer need Proton Experimental either, since Proton 6.3-8 released back in late November pulled in the BattlEye support.
In related news, Proton Experimental itself was also upgraded recently making Final Fantasy XIV playable, there's a fix for Marvel's Avengers showing prompt about outdated drivers on launch, a fix for eFootball PES 2021 and 2022 crashing on launch, a fix for audio in Mass Effect 1 from Mass Effect Legendary Edition and also improved compatibility with binary Nvidia drivers.

Quoting: F.UltraWow that is a lot of memory mappings. I assume that Windows doesn't limit this or have a higher default, the default on Linux is 65535.
A lot is relative. For Star Citizen the value is upped to 16 million.
Honestly, it feels a lot like the max open files where the default remained extremely low even though it was completely not necessary for current generation computers.

Well there are a lot of default limits in Linux to prevent things like fork bombing, comes from being a multi-user system at heart.

I need help here, I can't play multiplayer on Bannerlord. The game is launching but there is any server, when I try to search a party I've got a message "Not all players are running the game with Anti-cheat".
I tried everything, Steam beta client, beta version of Bannerlord, Experimental Proton, nothing ! I have Proton BattlEye Runtime of course, I tried to check the files it's ok but I don't know why I can't uninstall it ? I have this message "An unexpected error occurred while uninstalling this application".
Help ! :-)
Thanks ;-)
