BattlEye Anti-Cheat Support for DUCKSIDE: What Steam Deck and Linux Users Need to Know

 

After a switch from Easy Anti-Cheat to BattlEye, tinyBuild announced efforts to enable BattlEye for players on Steam Deck and Linux, particularly through Proton compatibility.

DUCKSIDE is an open-world survival game where players control ducks equipped with hats and weapons, engaging in both PVP and PVE elements while crafting and building bases.

A developer on the Steam forum shared insights about the game’s anti-cheat transition, explaining that while anti-cheat functionality has been present since its Early Access launch, the migration to BattlEye has introduced challenges with Proton support. The developer noted that enabling this support isn’t as straightforward as merely flipping a switch, citing previous testing issues with both Easy Anti-Cheat and BattlEye that prevented the game from launching.

This scenario reflects the ongoing hurdles developers face in making anti-cheat solutions fully compatible with Linux platforms, particularly for games running under Proton. For more information on the compatibility of anti-cheat systems with various games, you can visit the anti-cheat compatibility page.

DUCKSIDE is expected to be released on September 25, 2024. For official updates, check the game’s Steam page.
