hey all. recently tried to play Elden Ring: Nightreign and Sea of Thieves. none of these games work. the EAC splash screen displays for a few frames before disappearing. no eac process runs in the background of my system and games will not let me connect. i've tried installing glibc-eac to no avail. set as many launch options as i could think of but i'm stumped. proton logs yield nothing, running steam through a terminal isn't useful either.
any and all help appreciated regardless. thanks for the work u guys do

i've tried installing glibc-eac to no avail.
Apparently it's also susceptible to various hardening efforts - does it log anything to the journal or leave a https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump behind?

Elden Ring: Nightreign and Sea of Thieves are both are supported on linux, are we anti cheat yet https://areweanticheatyet.com/ lists that they both run as shown by the community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F2q9FnGO9s/ with sea of thieves supposedly not having a anti cheat https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/ … ticheat/16

i'm aware both run, because they both HAVE run on my machine before. even base elden ring no longer works due to the anticheat somehow not loading properly. i get the same "connection error occured" that i get on nightreign. and SoT gives me a 'rumblebeard' anti-cheat violation error.

i've been using steam play and proton experimental and the newest proton-ge versions on these games but both get very similar results. i've tried moving the proton easyanticheat runtime to the external drive where the games are installed, nothing. tried symlinking their compatdata folders to my local drive where steam is installed as a hail mary.. also nothing ![]()

also nothing
There're no errors in stdout/stderr or the journal nor any coredumps - the process just starts and then silently exits??

seems so. tried using PROTON_LOG=1 and it was similarly unhelpful to me. again just a couple frames of the splash screen before a game loads.. no progress bar or anything before it just quits and the game runs normally but with no anti-cheat attached. complete mystery to me lol

Are you sure you're using proton?
Please run steam from an interactive shell and post the entire output…

i'm sure.
here. in this example i run steam, open nightreign, proceed til i get the "connection error occurred, returning to main menu" error, then close steam.

wine client error:0: version mismatch 864/760.
Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?Offline
huh. i guess i didnt. i was under the idea i read somewhere that everything that went on in the "0" folder wasnt super relevant to what was going on with the game i was running.
so ge-northstar is the culprit here? because its failing to update its hogging the process and not letting other proton versions work right?? i can try uninstalling it when i get back.. but im not using northstar proton for anything besides titanfall.
how would one "correctly" upgrade their WINE binary? ive had this error before but i dont remember how i got rid of it. i kinda just thought WINE got upgraded through pacman whenever i Syu. sorry for missing this, im genuinely curious
Offline
I have absolutely no idea but would assume that you need to keep the prefixes apart.
I can also just assume that EAC then gets caught up in the general compatibility issue, you'll have to confirm that by fixing the situation an see whether that implicitly fixes EAC for you.
All I can tell is that there's an obvious obstacle to get out of the way and the see where that gets you.
Offline
okay. i managed to clear out a lot of the errors in steam. locales are fine, got rid of old / unused proton versions that seemed to be causing conflicts and essentially reset steam so the weird 'file is busy' message stopped showing up.
however. game no work, still.
it is still the same exact stuff. launch game, easyanticheat pops up for a few frames (or sometimes completely freezes and lingers) then game won't let me log into the servers.
tried experimental, tried the latest GE proton that i kept, nuked the prefix every time i tried to launch the game and made sure no bwrap processes were running every time i tried. nothing!

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
The steam output would likely be more useful ![]()

got it.
here. did the same thing. launch nightreign til error happens, close nightreign, close steam.

I'd assume the xrizer error is gone, no?
The last thing I can see there is the multisreen setup, but tbc: the game works fine w/o EAC?

FWIW I could see the "unnecessary" integrated GPU leading to some weird behaviour issues, do you actually need that, and if not can you try disabling that in your UEFI?
Can you also give us an actual game/proton log by adding
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%to your launch options and checking the relevant log in your home dir?
