Gnome 48 do not start the game, but work with Plasma KDE
Crash some times, but not frequently
Good game an alternative to Apex Legends in FPP mode
gamemoderun vk_radv %command%
The new re-launch crashes unless you use a custom Proton version.
The game opens normally, but the battle royale mode crashes. The solution was to use Pronton-EM. I'm not familiar with Pronton, but my GPU isn't showing up correctly. Despite this, I can run the game normally with this runner.
Works with Proton-EM 10.0-2C, but only in desktop mode
PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 %command%
flushed shader cache
had to go all minimal settings but that's not proton related, just undercooked game update
Need to install non-steam version of Proton (Proton-EM 10.0-2C - see https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/Proton/releases/tag/EM-10.0-2C)
gamemoderun vk_radv %command%
Custom proton version has stubbed wine methods which were causing memory access violations which crashed the game.
Небольшие фризы в начале матча
Со стандартным протоном были вылеты, даже не пытайтесь. Установите ProtonPlus, и из него устанавливаем EM 10.0-2C и спокойно играем. В игре бывают незначительные фризы в начале матча, но возможно это из за моего железа. Пробуйте!
Before this update, ProtonGE was required, and after the Aug 7 update, ProtonEM is required, but I must say that the game has much better performance than Windows (at least for me and my friends, it barely gets 60 frames on Windows, but on Proton, the average frame rate is above 120 frames). To install this version of Proton, simply install ProtonPlus from your distribution's repositories.
Broken atm, but you can play DM and JR tho
Only Jetpack Royale and Team Deathmatch work, the unranked and ranked don't (quickly crashing)
waiting 4 fix
Just install Proton EM-10.0-2C and enjoy playing.
The game had a lot of issues after the August 7th update, but it all came down to the UI, which couldn't be handled by DXVK. Unfortunately, the game doesn't support DX12 or Vulkan, which complicates things a bit. Luckily, my dear friend Etaash Mathamsetty found a solution to the problem, just install ProtonEM and enjoy (Etaash Mathamsetty's distribution) Use ProtonPlus to install.
The game runs smoothly on PikaOS. I just had to use the specified Proton version. I would say this is in the gold/plate area of functionality on Linux. Thank you to the developers of this game for supporting Linux.

battel royale crashes the game
battel royale since the new update came up the game doesnt work at all in br,arcade works.
It does not work
Use the Protonplus or ProtonupQt for install "Proton-EM-10.0-2c" in Steam. The games work perfect.
As of the latest update, Battle Royale mode crashes. Almost certainly anti-cheat measures.
Runs great otherwise.
Battle Royale also works. Is surprisingly optimized considering the state of gaming in 2025.
Battle Royale mode no longer works after Global Relaunch update
As of the current update at the time of writing (August 7th 2025), the battle royale mode crashes after a few seconds of trying to play. This is regardless of which proton version I tried (Official 8 & 9, GE-Proton 8 to 10, EM 10, Experimental or Hotfix), whether gamemode was used, or launch options provide (PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1, DXVK_ASYNC=1, WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1, SteamDeck=1). Someone has reported the issue on the proton thread for the game, so hopefully the issue can be solved at some point soon.
Note that bot matches and arcade mode seem to run fine, so it's more than likely an issue with the anticheat.

gamemoderun %command%
As of the latest update at time of writing (August 7th 2025), the battle royale mode crashes after a few seconds of trying to play. This happens no matter what version of proton used (official 8 & 9, experimental, hotfix, GE 8 to 10, EM 10), or whatever launch options were provided (PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1, DXVK_ASYNC=1, WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1, SteamDeck=1), or with or without gamemode. Someone has reported the issue in the game's proton thread with logs, so hopefully if it's a proton issue it can be fixed at some point.
Note that bot matches and arcade mode both seem to work fine, so the game is capable of being played, and likely has specific issues involving anticheat.
Вылетает после выбора персонажа до начала боя
Я поиграл без проблем с ботами и не заметил никаких проблем с производителностью. Но когда я пробовал играть с обычними людми игра почему то сразу начинает лагать и при выборе персонажа и через несколько секунд вылетает.
Game Crash Issue After 7 Aug Update in Ranked/Classic Matches"
SteamDeck=0 gamemoderun %command%
Post 7 Aug update, game runs fine, menus OK, but ranked/classic matches stutter then crash. No issues in training/bot games.
SteamDeck=1 PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME="/home/username/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime/v2" %command%
Offline play (such as bot practice match) works but online matches crashe when skin selection ends and about every 45 seconds of gameplay if loaded back in.
Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime extended the crash interval from about 5 seconds of online play.
The game closes seconds later at the selection screen and within the map. No matter how many times you try to enter the game again.
The game is not playable.
using this proton-cachyos (native package) from cachy os it is more stable fps and no audio issues.
gamemoderun %command%
stopped loading one or two times, may be unrelated to proton
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Sometimes audio bugged during session
Playing on linux is impossible because custom anti-cheat accidentally finds “something” and bans it, after that support replies that you are violating fair play rules and abnormal data is found.
gamemoderun %command%
Just works hopeful it stays that way, saying that Apex Legends is not supported anymore.
Works OOTB. Just ran one match.
The only gripe I might have is the lack of resolution choices in-game. This can be mediated with setting them through launch options.
game-performance obs-gamecapture env OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 %command%
Simply put, this is the alternative to Apex Legends for those that played it on Linux, but now can't thanks to EA's poor excuse of a Proton shutdown.
I get a lot of crashes. They always occur after I finish a game or about to start one, I don't know if it's just luck but I never experience one during a game.
Game is filled with bots, it was fun years ago but now its inevitable that this game won't last long.
Anyway it works fine on linux with no issues
Download and play
Runs out of the box
Does not launch with Steam Proton, but launches with GE-Proton, Yet not able to play.
PROTON_USE_VULKAN=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 WINE_DO_NOT_CREATE_DXGI_DEVICE_MANAGER=1 gamemoderun %command%
The game will launch with GE-Proton, but once it launches I could not login with my Steam account. It kept giving me an error saying it could not communicate with Steam. This seems to happen with Windows users too reading the forums, but there isn't really any fix. The only thing I could see is the initial prompt screen and nothing else.
