they're adding Denuvo anti-cheat (boo) but doesn't look like it would affect linux (yay!)

would love to play this on my steam machine whenever it launches

Yeah, they've always put in the effort to make sure Linux players could still play The Finals, so I expect the same for Arc Raiders

TL;DR:

New trader "Ermal" expands stash, stores items to keep after reset, weekly rotation of cosmetics, blueprints, raider tokens, items for projects
New weapon "Rascal" grenade launcher
Cloak power cost reduced by half
Bettina fire rate increased
Tactical Mk3 healing cloud buffed (aoe and more healing), cooldown increased
Weapon mods can affect ads speed

The article mentioned that they did the same thing with The Finals, and that game has reports on protondb saying it's working fine as recently as two days ago.

I'm hopeful this won't be a problem based on that, but I don't know for sure.

I think generally it's compatible with proton and Linux but still I'm not a fan of Denuvo so I'm not about to find out since I've already kind of fell out of the game.

They already did the same thing in The Finals, and they just use an anti cheat in user space for Linux users. All is good in the hood.

They were hiring Linux security experts to port their anti-cheat stuff a few months ago. Turned out fruitful it seems.

Will the game still work on Linux?

Considering The Finals does, I would be surprised if they implemented it in Arc Raiders in a different way that broke Linux installs.

I'm less worried about the technical implementation and how it works, than if they just decide to not support it. Sometimes the technical side could work, but they make decision to not support Linux.

The Finals is the game I spend the most time in, I havent noticed issues in performance and honestly didnt know about denuvo being there until now.

Still not stoked to hear they are getting business from embark though.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Isn't this an online only game? What's the point of Denuvo in such situation?

This is an anti-cheat, separate from the DRM that we all know and hate. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems similar to EAC where it's kernel level on windows but still works on Linux

Oh, you are right! I skipped the Denuvo anti cheat part.

[–] phailhaus@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 child)

Anti-cheat, not DRM. Two different products from the same company.

Yes, I stand corrected, haven't read the anti cheat part, my bad.
