At least they're working on it as opposed to releasing a mess, or not supporting Linux at all.

What ~~exactly~~ are they working on?

Did you read the Discord message in the original post? There isn't much fat to trim off their statement. Let me know if you can't see the image and I will write it out for ya.

I've seen "we're working on proton emulation" turn up empty before. Without knowing what they are actully working on I do not see any meat on the bone.

That's fair. I don't know what all that entails, nor how easy/hard that is. It could be a nothing burger statement to shut people up. Like, hopefully not, but you're right about there not being much to go off.

Honestly I don't have much stake in this situation. This is the first I've heard of the game, and it doesn't look like my jam. I just thought maybe you couldn't see the photo. Some people have issues with that every now and then depending on how they're viewing the post. I've been pretty lucky so far with the Boost app though. I do like seeing more games compatible with Linux too.

It was working on Linux during the last play test. The rumer is they added a new anti-cheat and it by default doesn't support Linux.

Tarkov was working on Linux and then they added anticheat. Comments were made, iir it would be enabled in the future, but it's still blocked today.
