There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time. (lemmy.world)

I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.

Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because of EAC

[-] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 3 points 1 year ago

But that's a choice made by Garry Newman, not a limitation of the platform

Correction: Rust doesn't run properly on Linux because the developers fear an uptick on cheaters caused by EAC being less invasive on Linux than on Windows.

[-] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't know they did anything about cheaters.

Nope. Rust on servers with EAC enabled doesn't work, because Face Punch refuses to support Linux.

I currently play on a server (without EAC) with a group of friends. They all use Windows and I run Linux. It plays as smooth as butter.

Yes, you are correct, but EAC continues to be a problem on Linux.

[-] CeeBee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's not EAC that's the problem.

[-] lnee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

what do you mean rust has run on linux for like ever and how does EAC have anything to do with a programming language
