Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

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 Unsupported on Steam Machine. Valve marks it Unsupported on SteamOS.

About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

  • Adapt to Survive — An epic story thrusts players into an ever-changing environment, forcing them to adapt their tactics and approach to conquer battlefields ranging from newly frozen jungle to zero-gravity alien environments.
  • Suit up! — A high-tech Nanosuit allows gamers to augment their abilities in real time on the battlefield. Players can choose to enhance their speed, strength, armor and cloaking abilities to approach situations in creative tactical ways.
  • Customizable Weaponry — A huge arsenal of modular weaponry gives gamers unprecedented control over their play style. Blow the opposition away with experimental weapons, discover alien technology and utilize custom ammunition from incendiary-tipped rounds to tactical munitions that can silently put foes to sleep.
  • Veni Vidi Vici — Lifelike enemy AI challenges players to assess a situation and approach it strategically. It isn't about having the fastest trigger finger — players are challenged to be proactive in the fight, not reactive.
  • Zero-G Gameplay — Battle a horrifying alien species in a true Zero-gravity environment, where physics change everything as players must adapt to moving in Zero-G and contending with the recoil from their weapons and more.
  • Next-Generation Graphics — Built from the ground up using Crytek's proprietary CryENGINE 2™, Crysis' visuals define "state of the art," with full DX10 support and scalable options to deliver solid performance on older machines.
  • Open, Physicalized World — Choose your own path through the open world of Crysis, destroying obstacles, driving vehicles from VTOL's to boats and using the environment itself against your enemies.
