Tried getting it running on my Steam Deck and it fired up in all defaults without issue and runs great. Did about a dozen solo runs to get to know it and had a blast. I don’t shell out full price for games very often because I’m not into hype cycles but I think these devs deserve the support for doing so much work on this excellent game.


Does it work on Linux or are they using kernel anti cheat bullshit?
I dont know about Arc Raiders but for their other game (The Finals), they’ve actively been working on making a Linux build work with their anticheat (EAC)
So I would hope the same energy will be put for that one
I can’t tell if there’s any anticheat going on but if it runs on the Deck in SteamOS (Linux) proton layer most legacy anticheat programs don’t.
GTA-V online got eff’d earlier this year on the Deck because they added anticheat.
