Fixing easy anti-cheat? (lemmy.zip)

Hello,

Is there a general way to get EAC working after you get an error about it not being installed?

In my example, the outlast trials put out an update just recently that added pvp (for some reason) and in doing so they've added EAC. Apparently it should still work, because they claim it's fine on steam deck but on my desktop pc it does not. I haven't installed it on my steam deck to see, but if it can work there then I feel like there's something I should be able to do to get it working on my desktop.

I run fedora on there and aside from using rpmfusion to get some drivers i have done nothing to get gaming to work outside of installing steam and letting it handle it. Thanks for any help.

You could try adding Steamdeck=1 %command% to the game's launch arguments.

This. A lot of game devs see fit to make games work on Steam Deck but explicitly barr them from any other distro. This command just yes "hi, I'm a Steam Deck!"
