ACE, kernel level anti cheat at play. Steamdeck hardware locking
should just on steamdeck but nothing else

The launcher starts but the game doesn't
Tried several Proton versions and no luck. The devs are thinking about adding anti-cheat support, I'll update this if they do. Dev statement in a Linux support Steam Discusison: "The reason why we can't implement steamdeck and linux yet is because the anticheat has a system conflict, causing crashes. When we resolve this we will announce it."

Opens to launcher only.
Game doesn't open when clicking start. It only closes and reopens launcher. Launcher music also does not work.

Still wont auto log in
Game does not launch from the launcher

Get to launcher but can not enter game
Could not launch the game even with trying to run a combination of proton versions and environment variables to appear as a steam deck. The combination I did try was Proton experimental,9,8,Ge-9 and SteamDeck=1 %command%
, On both steam and website version of the game. If you have task manager you can see the game launch but crash shortly after.

Can't get past the launcher, game won't launch.
I have tried SteamDeck=1 %command% (since people on steamdeck could run the game) and different proton versions, no luck. I suspect the game isn't launching due to ACE Anticheat, and I think it’s performing a hardware check rather than a kernel check. Someone here was able to run this game on a Steam Deck, different distro - not SteamOS nor a valve compiled kernel

Non Fonctionnel
L'instation se passe bien, le Launcher se lance, mais il est reste bloqué sur lancement.

Crashes after about a minute after you go from the launcher
I didn't believe that it ran on steam deck but not PC, so I dusted off my PC and I can confirm - it does actually get past the launcher on steam deck and into gameplay. However it crashes 1 minute after loading into gameplay every time.

Borked
gamescope -W 1280 -H 800 -f -r 60 -- %command%
Based on reports of it working on Steam Deck, I tried to emulate a steamdeck as best as I could but no luck.

The launcher opens, but when you press on Start, it just closes and sometimes re-opens the launcher.

borked
like other reviews before this state the only results you get by switching versions is immediately crash to the launcher or 'please run this game through steam', i read comments about there being kernel lvl anti-cheat but only for the china installation didnt see evidence of there being one for the other regions but def possible bc borked xd play next

Launcher opens, game itself never launches
Changed to multiple different versions of proton all with no effect on the outcome, launcher minimizes to tray and gets stuck on "launching".

Can install and run game launcher but it all.
Can't run game further then game laucnher. When press play game launcher closes than waiting about 30 seconds and game launcher opens again. It repeats about 3-5 times, then game fully closing. Tried with default Steam Proton, ProtonGE, wine, bottles and lutris. Not working at all.

After 2-3 mins game crashes, in game or in menu
Game used to run fine, but now crashes constantly, Tried other proton versions and uninstall reinstall with no sucess

Doesn't get beyond the launcher
Not working

Fullscreen just windows your game
Will not auto login
Since after a while it stopped working on the steamdeck I tried again installing the official website app and it works fine as of now and no issues gameplay wise

On the steam forums however the devs have said that they are planning on linux / steam deck official support in the future so I would keep an eye on this game.

Crashing
Sadly after switching from steam's proton to GE proton it was better, because the videos now actually load, but after like half a minute, it would close it self I wasn't able to finish even the tutorial.

Switching to ProtonGE/ProtonExperimental
launcher music is missing
crash after ~2mins of playing/in menu
unable to play due to crashes

Can confirm that it works on steam deck yet does not work on a regular linux pc.

Can't launch game via launcher
Doesn't work at this time

Back grip buttons for paper abilities and floating
Works on Steam Deck OLED with Bazzite installed (no Steam OS).

The game doesn't run on desktop yet :(
You may want to try streaming it via Steam Link if you have a PC and a Steam Deck. Sounds like a crutch, but hey, what works, works.
It worked on my Steam Deck that uses non-Valve distro (Bazzite). So maybe there is a hope.

Game does not launch from the launcher.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Installed DirectX via protontricks, since the installer bundled with the launcher failed for me.
Hitting "Start" on the launcher just hangs -- the launcher will say "Launching," but the game never launches. I tried Proton 9.0-3 and GE Proton 8-31, and tried the SteamDeck=1 command (since someone here said it ran on the Steam Deck). None of those worked for me.

Stuck on launcher. Clicking play does nothing but go back to launcher.
Tested on Proton 9.0, Proton Experimental and Proton9-20GE non worked game is stuck on launcher. looks borked im confused why the steamdeck reviews say they can apparently run it. I only have pc so maybe theres something on deck that isnt on proton currently.

Game does not start after clicking "START" but installs and launcher opens.
Seems to work on steam deck, but not desktop Linux at this moment.

only steam deck,steam deck oled test passed,perfect operation with on ace issues

Can't proceed past launcher.
Launcher launches, game does not. Tried various launch commands along with various Proton/ProtonGE versions.

Cannot go past the launcher
Does not work

Launcher BGM is missing
Cutscenes don't work since Proton/Wine doesn't support Webview2. Opening cutscene works, but that's it.
I tried for a couple of days trying to get this game working on my Manjaro desktop, but to no avail. It's the same issue as the other reports: launcher opens, but the game won't launch. I noticed the pattern that everyone getting it to work were on Steam Deck. So I tried, and sure enough, it works perfectly fine on Deck (with Proton 9+. Anything before gives a Steam error. Can be avoided by using the launcher from their site instead. Proton 8 has the launcher BGM). I also tested on ChimeraOS, to see if a SteamOS fork works. Same issue as desktop Linux. So for whatever reason, this game is flagged to only work on Linux if it's a Steam Deck running official SteamOS. No Chimera, Bazzite, Holo, or any other desktop Linux. At least Linux users have an option instead of being 100% locked out.

Game run and launches with no issues on the steam deck. I suggest starting it in desktop mode to sign in for the first time. Just a thought seeing as others are having trouble starting the game, this game does use anticheat and I wonder if they only whitelisted the steam deck and that is the reason other distros are having issues.
Game launcher works but clicking on "start" launches nothing
Does not launch, no logs, no error popup.

The game runs well after the initial login, and after controls are mapped. It can be a bit weird without controller icons in-game.
Back grip buttons for abilities, and paper mode. Gyro for better aiming.
Signing in through desktop mode makes it easier.
Graphics were generally somewhat pixelated.
The launcher can be buggy.

Tried various proton versions and commands
gamemoderun PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 %command%
can't get past the launcher

Launcher close then open back when pressing play
couldn't play :(

Same issue on launch as with the beta/demo
The launcher starts, but the game gets stuck on "Launching." Tried some tinkering with protontricks and it seems like it launches and immediately crashes or closes.

Launcher opens under X11, but the game itself doesnt run
Tried with ge-proton, experimental and a few versions of proton, none of them worked
