Do someone have info about Wine/Proton progress with support for anticheat games that we cannot play on Linux?
This is a barrier for gamers who want to switch to Linux and leave Windows.

There's nothing we can do about it, other than growing our market share so that they have to care. The software is carefully looking for deviations from known Windows behaviour, and Wine isn't even Windows.

The support is already there but the Dev`s from some MP Games are not Linux Friendly.
They Blocks Activly Linux User, although EAC, BattlEye and VAC works nativ.
Valve has been working with the anti-cheat manufacturers for a long time. So that it is no problem for the developers to activate it for Linux

Experimental fixed additional controllers not working in Overcooked AYCE on 9.04... Now I swear it used to work in 9.03 but I don't know how to downgrade to 9.03 to tell nor do I think I have the energy to do so then report the bug...
