Runs excellent just like on Windows, but tabbing in and out is way more smooth. Using Wayland and NVIDA 570 Beta Driver.
Runs great!

most recent update upgraded easy anticheat to a linux/proton compatible version, so now you can play on all servers, just like on windows
fails to launch with proton 9 version, including proton-ge. experimental works, and proton 8 works. i user GE-Proton8-32 because of FSR integration, but vanilla proton 8 works fine, too
The intro video is mute (probably driver related), but it can be skipped anyway, sound comes back when reaching the menu.
The game got a recent patch purely to enable Proton support. All official servers work, no need to go to custom servers anymore.
It seems to be a Wayland issue, since I only encountered this when playing in Wayland, but not X11.
EAC has finally been updated, allowing Linux users to play on any server.
As of today (March 3, 2025), EAC has been updated. I was able to play on a variety of servers without being kicked. I have not played a full match on any server other than Powerbits, which already had a system to allow Linux players to play.
Ne marche pas. Un écran de chargement se lance, se quitte, et c'est tout.
Nope. Marchait avant, mais plus maintenant.
only tested known non-EAC server
This may be slackware specific but I had to adjust vm.max_map_count and vm.min.addr. Only proton 8 worked, proton 9 would not.

Now you can finally play on some EAC servers, but not all. Some servers that allow Linux players. EU: Welcome to the rice fields / US: Powerbits (They have 3 servers) / There might be more other than those 4 servers.
The game works perfectly on Steam Deck, I have the same performance as on Windows, but I get kicked on almost every available server.
Only Welcome to the jungle and PBS let me stay in the match, PR servers throw EAC timeout after around 1 minute. I have not tried any other servers.
Most servers will not allow you to connect. Official servers will let you connect but boot you out after 30 seconds with an authentication error. PBS seems to work for US servers (powerbit? check the other reports)
On the newer versions of Proton, the game won't even launch
Trees are flickering might be due to the GPU drivers
Most servers don't let you connect except for welcome to the jungle in EU
none is fine
But I used a guide for fps improvement

Some servers with EAC supports linux users NOT REQUIRED TO RUN THE GAME!!! Open ROEngine.ini Path:/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/418460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Rising Storm 2/ROGame/Config/ROEngine.ini Find bUseTextureStreaming Change bUseTextureStreaming from true to false
Sometimes skybox begins flashing when looking through trees
Fps drops significantly when a lot of stuff's happening, e.g. explosions, flamethrower, napalm
Overall the game runs okay on Steam Deck, played a few games with only switching to an older proton version, connecting to an external monitor is strongly recommended.

quando vai carregar os servidores perde desempenho, até conseguir carregar
servidores oficiais onde tem mais jogadores não pode jogar por conta do anti cheat
o jogo funciona mas os servidores que funciona sem o anti cheat são sem graça
It works just fine with slight bugs when launching however this happened when running the game natively on windows.
Custom servers work just fine however game officially ran servers often fail to connect
The officially ran servers arnt great anyway so custom servers are just fine to still play the game like normal.
EAC servers will not work. Lots of servers without it that will though.
Use older proton, EAC servers will not work
Doesn't even run anymore
Game no longer get updates and Easy AC.

EAC does not include Linux, will recieve an authentication error while joining the game or shortly after. Can play on custom servers that do not have EAC as listed in the server browser.
You are only able to play on servers without EAC, you will get disconnected from servers which use EAC after a minute or so. Basicly all servers use EAC in the EU region.
Game is launching on Proton 8.0-5 and older but you are currently unable to play on any servers that are using EAC.
Cannot play on EAC servers, Can only play on non-EAC servers. Quick Play did send me to a non-EAC server on it's own.

Repeatedly booted from any servers due to EAC failure to initialize
You can play on the few servers that don't use EAC, but any that do will boot you out after about a minute or so. EAC is the only thing that breaks this game which is a shame since development ceased before the official Proton-compatible EAC implementations. Updating the anti-cheat may well be the only thing that would be needed to let this game work in a perfect world.
Install Proton Battleye Runtime and Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime.
Disable Hardware Physics option on Radeon gpus.
Need to install Proton BattlEye Runtime and Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime.
Unplayable due to EAC - Tripwire, please fix this! Otherwise game works fine easy 40-60FPS on Deck
High mouse trackpad acceleration, custom controls for keybinds. Good to keep a mini bluetooth keyboard on hand for certain commands.
Some text small
Easy Anti-Cheat prevents multiplayer gameplay on most servers
Easy Anti-Cheat currently prevents multiplayer gameplay. Can join games but kicked due to authentication failure within a 30-60 seconds.
Offline testing / training works OK.
Actual game runs fine - easy 40-60FPS at default settings on SD. Unfortunately, Tripwire have not made the SDK config changes provided by Epic Games which renders it effectively unplayable unless you want to play with yourself offline as you will get kicked shortly after joining a game due to authentication failure.
It runs smooth as butter on Steam Deck (40-60FPS from testing on default settings so far) but you will be quickly kicked Easy Anti-Cheat. My recommendation is to run from Windows (possibly on an SSD patrtition) or ask Tripwire to make the SDK config changes to fix EAC for Proton users.
Can't connect to most servers due to Easy Anti Cheat.
You can play multiplayer, but only on a server called MEGA SERVER because this server does not use EAC, but this server runs with lots of modifications, I only recommend it if you have played RS2 before on Windows and wants to play it without minding the modifications that the server makes. This server is full 24/7, so you don't have to fear the server being empty.
Didn't work witout fkrced experimental
runs smoothly on steam deck but easy anti-cheat disconnects ypu from any server after 30 seconds
unplayable without easy anti-cheat support
needs EAC support
I get an "Authentication timed out" error after a few minutes of playing on any EAC-enabled server
Cannot play due to anti cheat and there is no solo mode.
Would probably be perfect if devs enabled EAC. Everything else seems to work perfectly
Te echa de prácticamente todos los servidores (EAC)
Los servidores son los sistemas anti trampa activados (que son prácticamente todos) te expulsan al cabo de unos minutos. El problema no es de Proton ni de los servidores, es de los desarrolladores que todavía no han configurado el EAC del juego para funcionar correctamente.
The game slows down to a crawl while the server browser loads.
Only on the menu screen, no problems in game.
Some servers will kick you due to a timeout. I found that if you load into a match that's already started you can usually play it but during the 2 minutes when a match is loading and the server fills in you may get booted because of EAC timeout.
Some servers work fine others will boot you due to EAC timeout. Usually happens when a match begins. When you load in the game runs perfectly fine like on windows. I tried a couple versions of proton but none of them really did anything.
Also if you try to load into a server that was full you can get stuck in an infinite loop where it constantly tries to rejoin the server. I had to restart the game when that happened.
On the servers that worked though (Mega Server specifically) the game played flawlessy. No hiccups or techincal issues except it said I had a ping of 200 for some reason (it's more like 90).
Slightly lower frame rate.
EAC boots you from server after 30 seconds.
The game runs well enough but EAC ruins the game for now.
