Since Vermintide 2 uses EAC, it’s very likely that EAC will probably be on Darktide. Given that Epic has officially announced EAC compatibility for Proton/WINE and under the assumption that EAC will be on Darktide, would it be possible to bring up implementing this compatibility for Darktide to the devs? Supposedly, implementation is just “a few clicks” from what I’ve read, so the added development time is \* hopefully \* effectively zero.

> Hi Fatshark I’ve been waiting since releasy to play Vermintide 2 on Linux via Proton/Wine, but it has not been working due to EAC. Today Epic has finally decided to support EAC on proton/wine but you will need to do some configurations, if I understand it correctly. Is it something you can look into? Info from Epic: [Epic Online Services launches Anti-Cheat support for Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck - Epic Online Services](https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/news/epic-online-services-launches-anti-cheat-support-for-linux-mac-and-steam-deck?sessionInvalidated=true) Thanks, Synlic

Would be very cool to see this hopefully it isn’t difficult to implement. Would prefer not running windows if I can help it.
