Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE

Installs:Yes

Opens:Yes

Starts Play:No

The problem isn't that the game is using EAC, but that the developers have chosen not to enable linux support for EAC from the EAC partner site and bundle the appropriate .so file with the game to trigger Proton EAC to launch with the game. I highly advise you ask the developers in the steam forums to enable this, as the process has been made increadibly easy by Valve.

eac won't let me get into the game.

Installs:Yes

Opens:Yes

Starts Play:No

It opens the game, I can change settings and see the server list. But when I connect to a server, I get kicked out saying that EAC isn't running (client null). Even though eac's loading screen shows up during load time.
