On Linux, Steam Deck and Steam Machine
Its anti-cheat (PunkBuster) is not working on Linux for this game, so it won't run properly even where Proton otherwise could handle it. PunkBuster runs on Linux in 26 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.
Valve rates it Playable on Steam Machine. Valve marks it SteamOS Compatible.
