Symptoms

• Normally game doesn't launch after installation.
• Game has a beta, which you can join, to skip the launcher.
• Open library, launch game there for a popup where you can select skip launcher option (doesn't pop up from quick launch).
• Game may crash if you change video settings many times in row.
• If game starts windowed it may start stretched to desktop.
  
  
  
  • Don't move window position before you got to the character selection or it may go to unreachable place.
  
  
  • Moving resizes it in Ubuntu 18.04.
  
  
  • I used alt + space to move the window and alt stayed down ingame, which caused character walk slowly, and you just have to press alt again to release it.
  
  

Reproduction

• Install the game in steam.
• Join temporary_launcher_workaround beta for the game.
  
  
  
  • Verify local files (If you started it before, maybe optional?).
  
  
• Launch game through library and select bypass launcher, click play.

Things to add: System Information Gist

Symptoms

• EAC will not be installed/will not work even if its setup is launched manually in "SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Warhammer Vermintide 2/installers/EasyAntiCheat/"
• due to bypassing the launcher (and EAC not being usable), progression is not saved on the game servers and trying to retrieve or save information from/to the game servers will give an in-game prompt to quit the game.
• tinted screen after loading in (not affecting the HUD) pitch black (does not resolve itself most of the time, workaround by changing FOV, changing FOV while everything looks as expected in turn turns everything black), green and pink tints or dense "fog" resolve itself after a couple seconds, as do graphical glitches/artifacts/stripes after loading in.

just another confirmation here at what @lorce said. game doesnt save progress and you cant join online matches due to easy anti-cheat

Are any of these issues fixable on the Proton side? I found a thread on the fatshark forums that shed some light on the issue with EasyAntiCheat. I'm ok with setting up a VM to run this game, but if it's possible I'd like to stay away from windows.

Also, I was never able to get it to launch properly. I enabled the skip launcher option and it displayed the various splash screens, but when it's supposed to show the menu it crashes. I doesn't really matter if a fix isn't possible, but it was a bit frustrating for me.

[h8672]

There's a thread about it in #1468 and there should be more information about the issue.

Edit:
Hmm... maybe I should keep this open as the issue isn't solved... The game doesn't work as intended either...

I am going to check and see if it works.

Latest one crashes when selecting (Bypass Launcher --selected under Betas) otherwise it doesn't load. Proton 3.16-7.

Hello @romulasry, your log contains err:winediag:FILE_CreateFile Too many open files, ulimit -n probably needs to be increased, please run ulimit -Hn and verify it is a high value and not 4096.

Looks like Valve is working to get EasyAntiCheat to work on linux! I'm pretty excited for this, V2 is one of my favorite games.

So, no solution for anticheat yet.

No longer true, some crazy frogs did it.

Might take a little while until it comes all the way to Proton though.
