Как я понял, после обновления игру невозможно запустить из за античита. Очень жаль, надеюсь это поправят.
As I understand it, after the update, the game cannot be launched due to the anti-cheat. It's a pity, but I hope they will fix it.

Couldn't get it to work
Error: "An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected. Please use the launcher to start the game"

Installing epic games did not solve it. Maybe more steps required after that

SteamDeck=1 %command
Needed to install Epic Games Launcher onto the game prefix using protontricks. Found this by checking the Easy Anti Cheat logs, it needs the service to start, but since no EOS is installed by default the game would force exit mentioning you did not start from the game launcher.
After installing the Games Launcher, all runs well
Random FPS Slowdowns, mostly at the start/end of events
It will not run without tinkering as of 1.7.2
Even changing location of .eac file and add SteamDeck=1 i still got error launching game without launcher. EasyAntiCheat is broken.

1.7.2 is hardcoded to look for .eac file in this location, simply create the directories and find the relevant file in your current prefix's application data and copy it to the new location as shown below and ensure you are using the launch command SteamDeck=1 /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1114150/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EasyAntiCheat/8b1d2f45fce8485787a8371415df6ba0/4a0693b348d940ad883c5893243cbb00/easyanticheat_linux_x64.eac

As of 1.7.0/1.7.1 it is painful to play the game and get enjoyment out of it with the stutters and constant very low framerate it has.
Since 1.7.0/1.7.1 Framerate tanks into the single digits after a short amount of time.

Easy Anti-Cheat implementation released with 1.7.0 update makes game collapse under it's own weight. Issues persist on 1.7.1.
SteamDeck=1
steaminput does not correctly map dualsense controllers, disable steaminput for this game for best results.
Intermittent periods of extremely low framerate (1-3FPS), instances lasting approximately 5-10 seconds at a time, approximately 60-90 seconds between instances
Apparent memory leaks cause crashes after extended gameplay, depending on conditions. Experienced crashes more readily when inside of shops, especially cosmetics shop, for etended period of time.
buyer beware: this is not the first time the devs have acted contrary to intrests of the existing user base, and it certainly won't be the last. with the 1.7.1 release, steam deck flag allows you to launch, but the already poorly optimized game simply can't handle the weight of a kernel-level anti-cheat. severe stutters and desyncs brought about by the game simply trying to keep itself alive while also making use of EAC make it unenjoyable in solo, and unplayable in online

Doesnt work, forces you to exit
Test (and not work) -Proton Experimental -Proton-cachyos -Proton 10-4 | 9.0-4
ALL proton info text ingame:

Loading times being significantly slower

New update broke compatibility
The introduction of easy anticheat in version 1.7 broke linux compatibity. After launching the game the initial loading goes about 20% of the way through before displaying a message saying that an attempt to open the game without using the launcher was detected.
A hotfix was issued in update 1.7.1 which claimed to fix this issue and seemingly did for some but I'm still unable to open the game in my system regardless of Proton version or launch variables. Even installing the Proton Easy AntiCheat runtime didn't work.

Tried multiple versions of proton and tinkering and nothing seemed to work.
THIS GAME WILL NOT WORK WITH STEAM DECK THROUGH STEAM.
A screen comes up and says "An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected. Please use the launcher to start the game. Press any key to exit the game."
No matter what setting or proton version I have tried it will not work. Looks like the game is using the epic launcher from what I have seen.

Doesnt work, forces you to exit
ran the EOS installer inside the game folder
"An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected. Please use the launcher to start the game"

Not playable after update with EAC
"An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected. Please use the launcher to start the game."

An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected.
Game crashes upon loading due to newest update.

New Update broke the game
"An attempt to start the game without using the launcher has been detected." Discussions seem to blame borked EAC integration

Ubuntu24- Works great out of the box but a few stutter sometimes, very playable.... EndeavourOS- Works great if installed with Bottles, perfect performance for me.... Using only official steam, roads and buildings are not rendering for me, IDK why.(changing proton versions/disk drives permissions does not fix it) For me, FPS wise EndeavourOS with Bottles is much better even comparing to Windows 10.

Game is not optimised well.

DXVK_HUD=fps,compiler %command%
Frequent stuttering
Reduced graphic settings and resolution

Works out of the box and with a GTX GPU on top of that. :)

DXVK_HUD=fps,compiler %command%
I use DXVK_HUD=fps,compiler %command% bc I wanna see the framerates + when the game compiles shaders. But the game can run without this command OOTB.

On Proton Experimental, I got a black screen that wouldn't load to the main menu. Had to downgrade to Proton 9.0-3 and it worked after that.

run the game on low settings for a smooth experience

DXVK_HUD=fps,compiler %command%
From time to time and only when you open the city map, there's some weird crackling at even intervals.
Anti-aliasing is horrible, it would be better off without it.
Once you alt+tab the game, it remains minimized in the panel (Cinnamon 6.2.x) and it can't be brought back to fullscreen.
Sudden frame drops when you open the city map but that's not Proton's fault, it just needs optimizations.
The game runs almost perfectly fine with the kernel (LTS) and the nvidia driver shown next to this report. The most of the problems in this report (except for the crackling) are due to the fact the game is poorly optimized. With the latest LTS or rolling kernel + the latest 560.35.03 driver there's a lot of frame loss.
Valve only needs to fix the crackling and the inability to bring the game back to fullscreen after it has been alt+tabbed. I have played the game launched via Wine 8.9 with desktop emulation enabled which fixes the alt+tab problem.

pretty good experience. minor stalls that last about half a second completely freeze the screen.
runs smooth between40-60 fps (600x800 + FSR) lock it at 40fps but get screen freezes for about half a second while cruising around almost like its stalling while loading new parts

runs very nicely, however the cars tend to leave mirages in bumper mode, I don't know if it's a visual effect or anything.
Overall, Very playable on Linux!

Amazing Game -Please can CAR X and NFS come togeter and make a game everyone would love, also get the GHOST DEV's back on the project!
gamemoderun %command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -THREADS 12
I read online that the game is not well uptimised to use lots of cpu cores
I love CARX STREET - sure it is not perfect, however they are on to something speacial.
What i noticed when ever you update the verion of proton you have assigned to use with the game. it is good habbit to do thfollowing below so you can benefit form the changes made in the updated verion of proton you are now using. you will see a big difference in performance esspeaciall withe the latest GE-Proton9-13 verion of proton in my opinion.
Make a back up of your save files.
DELETE your current configuration folder - SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1114150
DELETE- the shader cache also for the game SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache/1114150
launch the game and steam will reinstall the esstianll configurations needed to play the game with your new verion of proton.
As for my configuration
I use Fedora based Nobara
Installed the steamdeck interface on top of the kde version of nobara, as the hdr in games can be enabled in game with steamdecks UI / compositor.
I have changed the default kernal of Nobara to Cachyos and I get unbelivable inprovement in performance.

- I have installed auto-cpufreq - and enabled the psate driver for my processor (AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G) I have also set the govenor to performance.
https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
- I have installed the latest verion of gamemoderun version 1.8.2
if you already have gamemoderun installed version 1.7-5.fc40 - ensure to uninstall and when you figure out how to install version 1.8.2 via a copr or by follwing it's git repository instructions. ensure to remove any old gamemoderun config files from your system.
once you do this ensure and test that it is working via the following command - gamemoded -t
I use the following launch options with the game ( i have an amd rx5500xt) not fancy but the game runs fantasic at 3840 x 1800 resolution. my tv is the 2024 MODEL - TCL 655K 43 QLED'' but I replaced my more expensive samsung AU9000 tv with VRR for it and it is way more responsive and the colOurs are gorgeous. ( great budget friedly gaming tv 2024 - TCL 655K QLED')
ANYway HERE IS THE LAUNCH OPTIONS I USE
gamemoderun %command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -THREADS 12

Restarting the game fixed controller issues
Because of memory leak had to restart the game once in an hour.
Runs actually pretty good on my machine which has a below minimum recommended CPU.

Minor startup artifect with the cutscenes, dissapears with gameplay
RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command%
Just bad performance all around. constant stuttering and cant even get above a stable 30 fps

pretty good performance out of the box only issue is the games memory leak wich forces me to reboot every now and then
Memory leaks forces me to restart every hour or so to keep performance smooth (this is not a proton issue tough rather a game issue)

Run smooth using the following.

Performance could be slightly better, but game starts, online works have not experienced crashes
Controller wasn't detected one single time, worked after a restart

RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command%
In Video options set Vsync to double to reduce stuttering.

Стабильные 60 фпс на минимальных настройках.
Включил вертикальную синхронизацию и anti-aliasing - стало 50 фпс, но симпатичней. Не хватает более гибкой настройки графики, к примеру дальность прорисовки.
Одна странная особенность - на ПК игра полностью на русском, а на Steam Deck хоть и выбран русский язык в настройках - отображается английский.
