We do not officially support Linux and we cannot commit to having support for launch. We are still working on Official Linux Proton compatibility.
This official stance has not changed since pre-release.
We admit there was a mistake in communication by our CM which was unfortunetly screenshotted in our Discord and then posted on the linux Reddit, when the official stance has always been ‘we are working on proton compatibility’.
Any previous Alpha/Beta test where Linux worked was by happen stance, which led to some users discuss the game as being Linux compatible. However, as previously stated - we do not yet officially support Linux and we are still working on our proton support for WARDOGS. We will update our stance once we have this confirmed. That is our goal.
We cannot commit to having Linux support for our Early Access launch. So please, refund the game if you mistakenly bought it thinking you would be able to run Linux via Proton on September 10th. We hope to have you back as soon as we can confirm official compatibility.
We know this is not what you want to hear… but the continued demand for Linux has been heard and it is still in our sights. Thankyou.
One issue with not officially supporting Linux is, one day a perfectly playable game could be unplayable or just start actively blocking Linux. Happened to me with a few games before, such as Apex Legends. So this is not just a temporary state until Proton updates or me doing tweaks, it is impossible now. On the other hand, we have success stories such as Marvel Rivals, where the developers officially support the online multiplayer game with Proton, even notes on the updates to fix an issue with Proton.
