CarX Street released in 2024 and just recently added Easy Anti-Cheat, which broke it on Linux / Steam Deck but now they've enabled it. Nice to see we won't be left with another broken game.

EAC came with the 1.7 update released last week, then two days later a smaller update was published to fix the anti-cheat on Linux systems along with a few other bug fixes. So it's now listed on our anti-cheat compatibility page.

More about it: "Street racing, high speeds, and adrenaline-pumping action… All of this is waiting for you in Sunset City. Get behind the wheel of a variety of cars, enjoy extensive tuning options, and feel like a real king of the road. You'll become part of StreetNET. It is a unique network for underground racers. Earn respect among network members, rise to the elite, and build the car collection of your dreams. An open-world racing game from the creators of CarX Drift Racing Online."

Lol, I'm so hyped because of the techno music in the trailer right now.

My brain immediately appends "for now" to this sentence.

But hopefully not.

So does that mean it is enabled for single player as well?

I wanted to give this a try, but no thanks.
It won't run on my Linux Desktop and neither on the Legion Go S (SteamOS version).
First run on SteamOS gave me an error while loading, because some server was not reachable.
Second time it was finally loading, but the intro is like 7fps, lol.
