Worth noting the devs are fascist bootlickers

Fuck, didn’t know about that. Could you please elaborate? No way I’m spending money on the game if true.
I have no idea if this is true, but it certainly fits the very strange vibe of the game.
It's like how I would imagine the most violent cops see the world.
All people are awful. Every criminal is a heavily armed, highly trained, fearless lunatic, who does not care if they live or die, as long as there's a tiny chance they can hurt more people. Civilians are uncooperative, ungrateful, and suicidal.
Every deployment, no matter how routine, will likely lead you into an ambush by dudes with assault rifles.
Avoiding bloodshed is almost impossible and even trying is likely to get you killed.
For me that is a game that either works fine or I cannot get to load.
I haven't played the game, but I would recommend checking out ProtonDB for experiences from people who have.

There are 406 reports, I find it useful to look for reports from people with similar hardware to mine.
Check out this website for information about multiplayer games on Linux:

There's only about 700 games that have broken anticheat and Hunt: Showdown's anticheat system officially supports running on Linux.
The OP has already been playing Hunt Showdown on Linux, their question is about another game called 'Ready or Not' 😁
A useful link none the less
Got a ton of hours in it on Linux (Proton Experimental) and it runs perfectly. Can't think of a single issue I encountered during that whole time. The game is super fun if you're into tactical thinking and quick and deadly firefights. Also the level design is superb and both friendly and enemy AI are really well implemented. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
+1 to this. Runs great on linux and is a blast.
Hunt showdown also plays well on linux
Played a few missions after installing Linux. Works fine with Proton Hotfix enabled in Steam. Honestly feels like it has less stutters too.
Thanks everybody! Game looks cool, it’s on sale now, though first I’m going to play Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I’ve seen the game on sale every now and then so might pull the trigger next time it’s on sale.
Currently trying to S all the maps with some friends. All I can say is that some maps are bugged (The base game crackhouse, the DLC drugpen and cult map) with guns falling through the map a lot (other maps can have this sometimes but these maps have it constantly), the rest of the game is super fun!
Once you've finished all the maps I highly encourage trying non-lethal runs
The game has some of the strangest bugs.
The last time I tried to play, I had no UI at all, but only in multiplayer. It worked fine in single player, but if I joined or created a multiplayer game, the whole HUD was just gone and nothing could make it appear.
That's really the only time I've tried to play it since 1.0, and I'm not going to blame them for bugs in early access. But loosing the mission after the last civilian (Daniella Voll) managed to trap two officers in a bugged closed and slap us to death was as infuriating as it was hilarious.
The missions are so batshit insane I love it haha. Never heard of those bugs though
It has been an issue for years and it doesn't seem like they're gonna be fixing it

Damn, never knew about it thanks.
Love it, works great on Linux. I played with a friend of mine on a couple of missions (were both on Linux) and I didn't notice any issues.
I’ve watched a video on Youtube https://youtu.be/SYmLPVabb3A saying that you can play it docked on the Steam Deck. Has anyone tried it?
