Due to the 2042 anticheat being added to battlefield V, the game is no longer playable on linux. At all.
Game opens, plays its short logo intro video, and goes to a black screen. Steam overlay is still responsive.
I consider this game borked for now, but if you already own the game you might as well give it a shot. Its really inconsistent and it may work fine for you, or be entirely unplayable.
The usual proton DX fix, as stated by other users. Game runs perfectly other than that audio bug, however after performing the protontricks fix, there is a barely noticeable but definitely there audio delay persistent throughout the whole game. I had to take a video and slow it down to 0.4x to verify that the audio delay was there, but my ears could definitely feel something was off before that. Using launch options "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=80 %command%" unfortunately did not fix for me.
I had to choose between the 'sounds like youre really there' coolant explosion or a slight delay.
Surprisingly, running through proton seemed to make me immune to a specific bug that caused crashes for windows users. Granted the bug has been taken care of now, but I thought that was very interesting.
Make sure to run that protontricks fix.
I was unable to properly fullscreen the game on my system, but yours may be different. Playing un-fullscreened was fine though.
If youre fine with 40fps youll probably enjoy the game.
Could not get above 45 fps, even with all settings at minimum and framerate uncapped. FPS would periodically drop to the low 20s.
It appears the developers have ceased active development on this game, so dont expect any improvements on their end. Any performance boosts will come from proton or wine.

- After breaking the base off of a stone pillar in the plains biome, my fps drops to 10-15 and does not recover until the game is closed and reopened.
- At seemingly random intervals the game will drop to 1-25 fps for a varied period of time. I cannot deduce a cause for this. These issues occur independent of any graphical settings. I suspect this may be the fault of Unity, as another game made in Unity (Battlebit Remastered) experiences a similar issue (stable capped 70fps normally, drops to under 10fps about every 20 minutes for a period of 1-2 minutes).
The issues I have noticed occur almost exclusively on dedicated servers. I only experienced issues a few times in singleplayer, and they were much less severe. If you do play multiplayer, I suggest hosting it yourself either dedicated or through the ingame hosting menu.
