ProtonDB | Game Details for Heroes & Generals

Infamously, the developers of H&G do not support Linux. Thus, it does not even boot.

This game DOES NOT support Linux!

Installs:Yes

Opens:No

I personally contacted their Discord Administrators and asked about this and they told me the game does not support Linux right now and they have no plan to do so. So maybe, if you run Windows on a VM and tried this, perhaps it might work, but on Steam with Proton, It DOES NOT work at all. There are some anti-cheat tools, and the game does not start without them. If you manage to fix those requirements, perhaps it might work, but I didn’t try because I didn’t want to ban my account for some reason. So I suggest you use Windows for this game.

As others mentioned on steam you will get the following message "Please, start Heros and generals through steam." However if you install it through Epic Games Launcher with lutris or bottles, you can start the game and it will try to verify. However it crashes after the verify button is at the end.
