    Talk is cheap. It’s been “planned” for Tarkov since before I started using Linux.

      Tarkov is in a different much more complex situation. It uses some Battleye addons that are custom made for the game that Battleye will not port to work on Linux.

        If it was an issue on the user’s end then it’s possible 3rd parties could fix it (as Wine/Proton has for every game not designed for GNU+Linux). BattleState Games have decided they don’t want to host servers without BattlEye for us to play on and that we’re not entitled to host our own servers.

        I did consider installing Windows on a machine just for Tarkov but install and using modern Windows looks like hell. I’d rather install Windows XP than Windows .

    I want to be optimistic, bit honestly this to me reads like the non-commital “thanks for your concern, we’ll look into it” consumer service style non-answer.

    I hope it ends up somewhere, but I can also see it remaining in their ticketing system for eternity.

    The issue isn’t even that BattlEye doesn’t work under Linux, because it does. It’s that a lot of studios that use it, namely Bungie and Ubisoft, explicitly refuse to enable support for it. Somehow they allowed Division 2 to run, but even then it only appears to be the Steam version, because my Uplay copy does not have the necessary files in the bundle
