Is it really that bad?
Yes.
I wonder if shit like that will eventually lead to more people using wine in windows, in order to sandbox rootkits. Helldivers 2 works fine with proton on Linux, at least.
The absurdity of having a reason to run wine on windows through WSL is amusing.
God, it's so convoluted I'll become a monk first.
If Linux gaming continues to increase in popularity, I imagine the anti-cheat will start to crawl its way out of the WINE environment and into the native system. But I actually have no clue about how these AC work or is handled by WINE.
Maybe people will transition slowly over to linux
Most likely result of this setup becoming popular is the anti-cheat working harder to detect being sandboxed in this manner.
Since it's the same thing a cheater would do to defeat the anti-cheat.
