EA seem almost malicious the way they're going against the tide of developers supporting Steam Deck / Proton. Online shooters is one thing, but this is a fucking skateboarding game.
WRC24 worked great under Linux for quite a while, then they released their anti-cheat update, blocking any Linux users on Proton. Then they abruptly just stopped working on WRC altogether. So no chance ever of playing WRC on Linux.
So, fuck EA and their bullshit.
You can downgrade the installation and get it working again, however it's a bit cumbersome and time consuming to do so if you don't have a good internet connection.
The guide is called "How to reinstall WRC V1.8.1" on the steam community.
I have been running it this way for a while.
I've mentioned this before but I very much think this is an underhanded deal between MS and EA to try to limit the exposure of their users to Linux by intentionally breaking or not allowing it to work from the start. Especially with the Steam Deck gaining so much momentum and MS trying to release their own handheld device.
Yes. To be fair, free is too high of a price to add an EA game to my Steam collection, to the distaste goes in both directions in some cases.
