Richoset AC block

This is not a command, I just wanted to inform everyone that, the game works in a VM(it knows its in one). QEMU
Caused by recent update
Be through in your research, there are methods to have your gpu unhook from the system and attach to the vm when you start it (and vice versa).
не запускається гра
High CPU usage for about a minute. does not launch.

J'ai voulu en faire qu'a ma tête et pas ecouter la commu, résultat 50Go téléchargé pour rien. Ne se lance pas.
Injouable. On ne peut pas lancer le jeu à cause de leur anticheat.
nem abre
takes around 20-30 seconds then just stops running on steam, nothing ever changes or shows up on the screen or taskbar

I paid 70 dollars for nothing. I hope I can get a refund for this bullshit
Proton
doesn't work dont waste your money

Why the heck can't Activision use off-the-shelf anticheat, like Easy-AntiCheat.
Used anticheat disabler, since Activision can't even write one. Got banned for it.
Activision can't even write one.

The game loader opens, but never finishes loading.

COD uses ricochet anti-cheat whitch activison desided to not put any effort into supporting on linux.
works if you install windows or stream it from xbox or a pc using windows 10/11. according to activision if a work around is found that doesn't affect the anticheat people who use it won't be punished.

No worky work
Game installs, but you cannot launch it no matter what Proton version you try, be it experimental, or GE, or older versions. Don't waste your time trying, due to proprietary anti-cheat or other software coding, it will not work on any Linux device.

Ricochet anti-cheat is kernel level and STILL sucks
gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Activison sucks

probably never gonna work
this game uses ricochet it needs a version of the nt kernel running in order to work (windows 10 and higher iirc)
installiert, startet aber nicht

Game Will install and attempt to run but boot out
Rikashit the invasave anti cheat wont let this run at allmeaning you have to run this though the cloud to play on linux

Game does not start
Probably because of Anti-Cheat
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

Starts, then immediatly closes.
Hope someone gets it working at some point.

Neither Steam's standard Proton nor GE-Proton or Battlenet do enable launch.
Game fails on Suse Leap 15.5

Anti Cheat
Unplayable on Linux or Steam Deck

Hi there, I'd be able to offer a bit of explanation as to why MWII (and eventually MWIII) will not start.
Activision has began using a custom made Kernel-level Anti-Cheat, known as Ricochet Anti-Cheat. This has become standard since the 2019 reboot of the Modern Warfare series. The Anti-Cheat uses elements only found in the Windows kernel, and Ricochet is NOT cross-compatible with the UNIX Kernel/Shell, which Linux is built off of.
However, not all hope is lost.
Infinity Ward, the main developer of the game, has mentioned that, if someome manages to find a workaround, they will not be punished for using it, but under some conditions:
- You cannot impede on the Anti-Cheat's function.
- Altering any base game files or files relating to the Anti-Cheat is prohibited.
- You CANNOT use said workaround to cheat.
I will go ahead and mention that while you can technically boot into the game's menu, it will immediately hang the game's process and crash, at least on Arch.
To any of you seeking to find a workaround, best of luck with finding one.

Installed sucessfully but the game doesn't open.
I hope that you check protonDB before try to download it!

The game opened to the menu that checks your online status but shortly after crashed
gamemoderun DXVK_AYSNC=1 WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command%
Doesn't launch.

tried every proton version
tried everything
BORKED, hoping for a patch or fix
Game crashes instantly
Still doesn't run
Install OK, starting not OK

Does not launch;
Can't Play
Game does not launch, steam window show up indication that it is trying to run, but stops before launching
Intalou corretamente todos os ficheiros, porém não abre de jeito nenhum
aparentemente o anticheat do MW2 novo foi desenvolvido pela própia activision e roda a nível de kernel e não consegue executar via proton.
Its not even launch because of the anti-cheat
-high
not working
Installs, but wont run
Crash on startup
Game just doesn't launch
I tried different proton versions but to no avail. Probably linked to every other report here thus far.
Doesn't work due to Activision's lame anti-cheat
