Proton: Rainbow Six Siege wont launch (359550)
The "launch window" opens, and it'll say "running" in the library menu. but then the window closes and it stops "running". It never launches.
Heres the output from the terminal: https://bpaste.net/show/a7e521ab04d0
Heres system information from Steam Help: https://gist.github.com/VERTlG0/cd18530e987cbf5cdf4b35f82e71c8f5
Heres Proton log: https://bpaste.net/show/a425ee30f31f
From a couple of those steam play websites ive been to it appears no one could get it working so I dont expect a solution anytime soon. Figured I would just post this Issue so its documented, and to save the next user a couple minutes from having to post it themselves.

It's because of the way Ubisoft has implemented BattleEye and the Uplay app. No one has been able to get Siege to work in Wine, but maybe Valve can. Or maybe they can talk Ubisoft into making a compatibility patch for Proton.

If there's BattleEye port to Proton, many games will become available. E.g. Planetside 2 doesn't work because of this issue.
But still I doubt it's possible to implement this support in a reasonable time.

Its the EAC problem. EAC is included in Fortnite Apex, Paladins, PUBG and many more games... EAC is the problem we can pass BattleEye. @rayslava
EAC doesn't exist in Rainbow Six Siege...
Not BattleEye problem you can by pass it...
Oh? Please do tell.

I just got back a reply from Battleye support
Dear Jatin,
Currently we do not officially support Wine, but we are working with Valve to add support for Proton (SteamPlay) on Steam.

They just exactly copy pasted same thing they said in may of 2019 XD

I wonder if this will have any effect.

Why would it? R6 still uses BattleEye, Vulkan doesn't change that. Although it is a much welcomed addition to Siege that gives a MAJOR performance increase on my hardware (Windows 10).
Anyways I have an installer for current day Siege (doesn't work obviously) and I've tried the Vulkan one and it still just hangs on running, unfortunately.

@grravity Its a lie they copy pasted same thing no matter when u ask, with no progress reports.

@jatin-cbs I wouldn't say it's a lie..
They may just not want to or be able to provide much info.

@jatin-cbs Yeah, they're probably working on it, but won't give an ETA because the compatibility tweaks are done when they're done, i don't think they exactly know how much stuff is left to be fixed, one after another.

Still crashes on Proton 5.0-7
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-28-generic x86_64
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x
GPU: Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
RAM: 8GB DDR4
HDD: 1TB
Driver Version: nvidia-driver-440
Steam Version: May 1st build
Normal (not vulkan) crash log: https://pastebin.com/YFmNmS0f
Vulkan crash log: https://pastebin.com/R485XD0r
Think it must be BattlEye (uplay works fine for watch_dogs 2) but possibly Uplay too
I've heard of a patch to get it working by disabling BattlEye and a UPlay workaround but kinda pointless the game is multiplayer and situations are just tutorials essentially.
Thanks

IIRC R6 launches through BattleEye so there's no way in hell it will launch on Linux.

@ZVNexus hopefully BattlEye support is added soon then. stuff like PUBG and R6S are probably keeping a lot of players on Win10. Also EAC for games like HALO and Rust. Big task though to deal w/ tho.

I agree, would be nice to have a way around invasive anti-cheats running at ring 0 though, fuck that shit. Have to have a dedicated rig for that or don't play the games at all or just deal with it.

@grravity i hate them but i guess they are necessary. If you can afford it dedicated rigs for that are probably good lmao. But yeah hope BattlEye support comes soon
