Can we run pubg pc ??

Hi @susonwaiba

The reports at ProtonDB say that you can't run PUBG on Linux yet:

This is because of BattleEye which doesn't work on Linux, BattleEye is some kind of anti-cheat,
BattleEye is tracked at this issue: #30

Tested on Proton 3.16-4 Beta

For those asking, the situation probably won't Improve.

While battle-eye (the anti-cheat that's preventing proton from working) has full Linux support, PUBG is using the Windows version of battle-eye which can NOT run in proton due to it's low-level workings.

The only way PUBG would be playable would be if the PUBG developers themselves either release a native Linux version of PUBG for Linux, or put out their own wine-wrapped release of the game for Linux that's running the Windows version of the game in wine, while running the Linux version of battle-eye.

I would love to see Valve/CodeWeavers taking care of Battleye support, they could base it on patches from Guy1524 battleye-work branch

when will pubg work with wine or proton?

[nipnipj]

Gogogo boys! We need pubg on wine Lutris/proton.

Why was this issue closed? Was it fixed? 👀

[susonwaiba]

Not yet. seems proton will not be fixed.
Game developers or cheat engines have to provide support for game with proton.
No activity so closed.

Let's all write to PUBG devs.
