EAC is now kicking players to main menu upon entering matches, rendering the game unplayable and resulting in deserter penalties
Proton-7.0rc2-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
No longer kicked out of matches due to EAC.
Still needs GE version of Proton to launch at all.
Patch 9.8, game still kicks you from matches
Hi-Rez really needs to fix their EAC implementation for their games.
This might be an issue with Arch-based distributions, as since a recent set of system updates, the game will randomly produce the following error:
"pure virtual function being called while application was running (gisrunning == 1)"
After clicking OK, the game will then forcefully exit/crash. The error seems to occur while trying to load certain assets in the main menu and in pre-game lobbies, the latter will cause deserter penalties due to the crashing. Haven't seen the game crash while in an actual match though.
Apart from the very recent issue I've experienced as written above, the game ran/runs as well as on Windows. Unless I can fix that issue somehow, I guess it really is high time to move to Smite 2, which thankfully is going to have SteamDeck support from the get-go.
