I've played warzone, battlefield, and apex on Linux in the past. I don't anymore because I don't find them fun, but they definitely worked fine. These days I mostly play Overwatch and Marvel Rivals, which are also some very popular online shooters, and they work as well on Linux. Kinda weird to be making claims like that in such absolutes.

None of them work on Linux, so no, you haven’t or at least you can’t now. No one cares if one of them worked years ago on Linux, that doesn’t make them work now.

LMAO I can promise you, they worked at one point, and I did play them. I know apex doesn't work in Linux now because the devs purposely decided to break Linux/Proton compatibility, and I believe Warzone is the same way. Battlefield was a buggy mess and not very fun to me when I played it, so I didn't really keep up with what happened there, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was dev incompetency as well. Why blame Linux when it's the devs of those games that are breaking compatibility, either purposely or out of incompetence?

Battlefield 6 has literally never worked on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat has been required from day 1. COD too, has had it for years. BO7, BO6, MW3, MW2, etc - you haven’t played them on Linux.

I think I'm thinking of Battlefield 2042, the one with the huge maps and like 128v128 matches. Never said I played any of the COD franchise, those games are dog shit

Nah BF2042 has kernel level anti-cheat in MP.

BF1 and BF5 I believe worked on Linux.

Warzone has never worked on Linux.

Lol k, keep making assertions about my personal experiences. Anything other than admit there might be some nuance you're not seeing

[–] GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You can’t have “personally experienced” playing games on Linux that do not and have not ever worked on Linux. There’s no “nuance” here.

I wonder what has to happen to someone to make them deny someone's personal experiences in order to defend kernel level anti-cheat
