Dune: Awakening set for a public playtest May 9-12 but the anti-cheat concerns me for Linux / Steam Deck

Dune: Awakening from Funcom is about to launch on June tenth, and to make sure their servers are working nicely they’ve introduced a serious public playtest will go stay in Might.

The Beta Weekend is because of be stay between Might ninth – twelfth. You may already request entry proper now, by going to the Steam web page and hitting the Request Entry button:

This Beta has no NDA, so anybody taking part in it will likely be in a position to share all the main points. In the course of the occasion you can play by means of the primary 20 hours of the sport which provides you “most of Act 1 of the story”.

They will even be giving freely Beta entry keys in the course of the World Dune: Awakening LAN Occasion Broadcast on Might tenth.

I do have one main concern for anybody hoping to play it on Linux platforms like SteamOS / Steam Deck, which is the anti-cheat scenario. The shop web page does not truly checklist any, however it seems to be utilizing BattlEye (SteamDB). So until Funcom actively select to allow it, this can lead to one other sport that does not work for us.

Even when the Playtest works, we have seen loads of instances earlier than the place a Playtest / Beta labored and the principle launch didn’t. So it will likely be good to get a agency reply on this. I’ve tried to talk to Funcom and their press groups, however nobody has but replied to verify or deny if the anti-cheat will likely be enabled for us. I’ve bumped up some emails about this once more at present, will replace on any reply.

At the least from the benchmark on Steam Deck, it appeared prefer it could be playable from a efficiency viewpoint.

As soon as we do know, it will likely be listed on our dedicated anti-cheat compatibility page.
