Anti-Cheat Breakdown
When a game doesn't work on Linux, it's almost always the developer's choice, not a Linux limitation. Here's how each anti-cheat system works:
Supported
VAC (Valve)
Works perfectly on Linux. Always has. CS2, TF2, Dota 2 — all flawless.
Developer's Choice
EasyAntiCheat (EAC)
Works if the developer enables Linux support. Rust, Apex Legends, Elden Ring, Palworld all work. Fortnite and Dead by Daylight don't — because their devs chose not to enable it.
Developer's Choice
BattlEye
Same story. Works if the dev opts in. DayZ and ARK: Survival Evolved work. Destiny 2 and R6 Siege don't — their developers declined.
Not Supported
Vanguard (Riot Games)
Does not work. Requires Windows kernel-level access. No Linux path exists. Valorant is the main affected title.
Not Supported
Ricochet (Activision)
Does not work. Kernel-level anti-cheat with no Linux support. Blocks Call of Duty titles.
Not Supported
FACEIT Anti-Cheat
Does not work on Linux. The FACEIT client requires Windows. Regular CS2 matchmaking works fine — just not FACEIT.
The bottom line: EAC and BattlEye both have official Linux support. Whether a game works depends on the game's developer flipping the switch. If a game you play is blocked, the best thing you can do is ask the developer to enable Linux support.
