There's a lot more games that use it and no doubt more will in future, so the idea of BattlEye working in Steam Play is obviously quite exciting to expand Linux gaming even further. I've said numerous times now that multiplayer titles will be a pain point for Steam Play but perhaps not for much longer. I'm a web dev- I code custom web applications & WP themes, own a blog network, love gadgets and reading. Game 'works' on the first open (but I still see the dock and the menu bar :/) and on the second time the first window opens, but then crashes shortly after hitting play.
#Steam wineskin install
That could be a last resort if you have the time to redownload everything. I've downloaded latest Wineskin engine and used winetricks to install FULL directx9. I have to wonder if this started after my previous article, perhaps it got some people talking? Good to see some positivity on this though, in future it could mean titles like PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS will become playable on Linux with Steam Play. I was using the same Wine setup, but I recently remade my wineskin with the WS9Wine1.5.13 engine, which solved the particle and lighting issues I was having (especially with Luna). To my surprise, within minutes they replied to me to say "Currently we do not officially support Wine, but we are working with Valve to add support for Proton (SteamPlay) on Steam.". Inspired by this Reddit post, I did my own digging and contacted them again to verify the information.

In my email to BattlEye I did mention our previous chat, but it seems the below quote is the standard line they're giving out on this. The curious thing here, is that I did speak to BattlEye back in March where they told me they would only be able to support native Linux games. Here's a bit of interesting news to end the week with, BattlEye have said they are working with Valve to get their anti-cheat working with Steam Play/Proton.
