As of writing, it’s getting review bombed mainly for long queue times and streamers getting preferential treatment.
One review says it worked on Linux/Proton during the beta and the devs even demoed it on the Steam Deck (citation needed), but they introduced a kernel-level anticheat right before launch and now it doesn’t work.
Another reviewer is saying the anticheat made his Windows BSOD.
I find it very strange and risky in general that they had EAC implemented and working during their big open tests, but then suddenly implemented a different & untested anticheat before launch. They disabled Linux on the new anti-cheat, but it’s more crazy in my mind that they wouldn’t expect a whole lot of new implementation issues to crop up after swapping such a major component.

May be worth letting the dust settle on this one.

Always wait for the first patch… Devs shove beta bullshit off on the world and figure they’ll fix the problems as they come up.
