EAC keeps kicking me out Ghost Reckon Wildlands
Hey,
I keep getting "kicked by EAC" when I run this ubisoft game
I installed it through steam and it's using proton with the ubisoft launcher
Singleplayer works, co op doesn't
Any idea why?

unless you've seen otherwise, I would rely on this indicating that EAC support in Linux has been denied
No way to officially they'll support this?
Like it all works, everything is fine untill I do co op, and EAC games worked for me before, why is this one specifically no?
I really doubt it. It's up to Ubisoft
EAC is a per-developer/game decision
They just decide for each one if they support it or not?
like it's not a technical gap just they don't want to?
each developer can choose if they want to enable Linux support or not
that is actually horrible
I'll go back to indie games and never look back
To make it easy for developers to ship their games across PC platforms, support for the Wine and Proton compatibility layers on Linux is included. Starting with the latest SDK release, developers can activate anti-cheat support for Linux via Wine or Proton with just a few clicks in the Epic Online Services Developer Portal.https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/news/epic-online-services-launches-anti-cheat-support-for-linux-mac-and-steam-deck September 23, 2021
See then this means eAC should work for linux, but ubisoft just opted out specifically for that game and not for the newer one, breakpoint?
yes
according to this, Breakpoint uses Battleye which also has Linux compatibility but per-dev enabling https://areweanticheatyet.com/game/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint

search this site for your games in question, and you'll have a good starting point for info
is SayNoToEAC a valid option then?
technically I'm just playing co op, not online
I bought this game tho
and I'm considering refunding

according to this, yes. I cannot confirm
EAC????!!!!???? Steam deck :: Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands G...
Has anyone been kicked from coop? If so is there any work around? I'm on the deck, my friends are on the pc and I get kicked every time.
worth a shot
Thing is it's like modding, which I think is not bannable
Again this is for co op, not multiplayer
I'm scared to not get banned or somth
you should probably read the comment I directly linked to
it may include information that is relevant to your situation
Downloaded the other one, Breakpoint and refunded this one
Now it's "Can't find uplay" even though I have ubisoft client running
and I have added it to steam as a non game so it is on the same launcher and the same proton "Proton Experimental"
Please use Lutris
There's an installer for it
That's what I did, problem is steam is not on lutris, ubisoft is in lutris, one can't find the other
Hold on, if you own the game on Steam just install it with Steam
If you own it on Ubisoft, use Lutris
Non-steam game should not be the option here at all
See that's the thing about ubisoft, they can't just let you launch games through steam
They make you authenticate through the uplay thing before
Yeah, you can't skip that
so steam has to recognize uplay
What should happen is when you launch the game through Steam it launches uplay and then launches the game
Yup, thath appens when I install uplay on the same "Proton Experimental" thing that steam uses
so now I have one instance from lutris, one for steam, and who knows what other games would require, and it only works on the proton instance and only on steam
Yeah that's normal too, you're going to have a install of the launcher for every single individual game that uses it
You don't want to stray from that
You know why it's a problem?
Because ubisoft decided to limit the ammount of connections you can make
basically I log in from one it disconnects from others and causes tons of weird nonsense
Only one should be running at a time
I'm not understanding the problem
I just want to know how to manage all of that to keep it short
wine/proton/bottles/lutris/heroic
You're not meant to use game launchers on Linux. When I install a game on Steam that uses a launcher it installs it in the prefix the game is in, and then launches it with the game. It's closed when you're done playing the game
The same is true with Lutris, you're not installing uplay to use Uplay
You're installing the game you're intending to play and it installs Uplay to accomplish that
If you have a copy of Uplay running multiple games or running in the background without a game running, that's the mistake
Hey, forgot to reply, I think I got it, but I do think it's not the best solution because when it comes to ubisoft, they limit you on the ammount of connected users
And it's not just a matter of quitting the other one, it's going into the dashboard and unlinking one, and somtimes this owrk,s sometimes it doewsn't, I'm not sure, that is to say when I have ubisoft games on steam and games from ubisoft, it's a big mess
Thanks for your help!
