Arc raiders is steam deck verifiied, so it should run great on Linux.

It just got Steam Deck verified.

The game is listed as ‘Platinum’ on ProtonDB: https://www.protondb.com/app/1808500

Arc Raiders runs flawlessly on Linux.

Arch.

No steps required.

Protondb exists for a reason.

Lutris on NixOS! It runs fairly well, though sometimes Steam doesn’t start up at all. No crashes mid-game so far.

I ran into a tiny problem while playing it on Linux Mint. The game would freeze after a certain ammount of time, but increasing the max_map_count to that of the steamdeck fixed it. (Mint has a really low default one)

Now its running without problems.

For the most part it runs better than it does on my W11 install. I can even force a 7000 series FSR4 on my 6800XT.

CachyOS using their native proton.

Runs amazing on Kubuntu for me. The only issue I had was the mouse leaving the game to my other monitor. A steam launcher command fixed it pretty easily though!

I’m on arch and it works great

EndeavourOS. Zero configuration, zero issues, solid 120 FPS on my rig and about to hit 50 hours. My default is Proton Experimental.

I have been having crashes consistently on Linux that I don’t get on windows, personally. But seems more like a me issue as most people say it runs great.

Can’t speak for myself as I haven’t played it, but a good place I like to check is Protondb. Their page for Arc Raiders says it should be fully compatible :)

Obviously the folks posting at protondb can’t speak for anyone so hopefully some folks here have some helpful anecdotes!

Runs perfectly on mint

Running perfectly on Bazzite with a 4090.

The only issue I encountered is that the game really doesn’t like being installed to a second drive. The anti cheat throws a hissy fit about paths.

Yep just played for an hour on endeavouros using Wayland/hyprland
