Does OW2's anticheat support Linux?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Always has. Overwatch has been a great game for Linux and I played it regularly up until OW2 came out and shit all over the franchise with its stupid battle pass and F2P.

Now I only play occasionally as it's still a fun experience with the right people, but I don't play solo anymore. The progression is completely ruined since it's locked behind BP. I used to buy the limited time skins every once in a while to support what I believed to be a very fair monetization system, but they're not getting a cent for OW2 from me. Complete trash.

I actually did like most of the gameplay changes they did for ow2. They managed to save a lot of stuff they managed to fuck up in ow1. Ow1 was good a few years ago, but got worse from patch to patch. Their monetizing system sucks obviously. I think they had a massive problem with declining player rates (because they fucked up the gameplay) and making it F2P was their way of gaining a bigger player base. But now they have to monetize everything to acctually make money from their players. So gameplay got better, everything else got way worse.

Overwatch has anticheat?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It works with wine. I expect it would work with proton too.

Yes, just battle.net that made things complicated
