Quoting: emp64Arma 3 through Proton
So what can you do on this one at this point? Doesn't anticheat prevent MP?
Battleye does not work when using Proton, but you can still play on servers that don't use it. Like this one https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/3663866 [External Link] . There are also some other servers where there are people most of the time. I know about one that has Antistasi mission always on and most of the time there are people (sometimes even around 20 players).

Arma 3 using Proton

Paladins, the team-based shooter seems to work well with Steam Play

Speaking of EAC, I found out that in the new Insurgency Sandstorm there is a 4.2MiB easyanticheat_x64.so file ... maybe they are working on a Linux version.

For now, the experimental Linux (and Mac) port of ARMA 3 will not see any more updates

Quoting: cprnIs there an Arma III server for Linux users that will keep working? That would gather everyone on the one server finally. More players.
Yeah there is. Its called emp's Missions server (similarity with my nick is purely random :D). Actually there is a merged Linux/Mac community around Arma 3. Not that many people, but still better than playing MP alone IMHO.

There is mixed Linux and Mac community around Arma 3 port here https://armaonunix.gitlab.io/ [External Link] as @sonic said and you can find the dedicated server here https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/461807 [External Link].

Most of the players are on Linux afaik and we have also our discord channel and steam group (you can find it on the bottom of the page). The community is pretty active on discord channel https://discord.gg/p28Ra36 [External Link]

Looks like the experimental Linux version of Arma 3 will get the 64bit treatment

Quoting: LeopardDon't get me wrong but VP is looking so noob and i think they can't manage this game.One of the longest ports ever.

If it is released some day,we will see Arma 4 is already out and this port is really bad and pushing away Linux people.
Arma 3 linux/mac port is already released, they are just porting next version as Arma 3 development still continues. Version 1.68 isnt complete yet even for windows, so the 1.68 linux/mac port cannot be complete either.
Ummm,no.Not released.Can you see Mac or Linux logos or sys reqs?No?I thought so

You're talking about accessing that by buying Windows version and doing some steps to access experimental port.

That is not a finished port,even they not finished the launcher.
The only step you need to do is click Install in steam, you have to do this for all the games you want to play on steam.

yay, we might get on par with the windows version !

Quoting: g000hIf I got it, would I be able to use it to play DayZ on Linux (probably not, but thought I'd ask)?
No you wont be able to play Dayz Standalone, but you might try some Dayz like mods for Arma 3. Exile mod (with other mods) and Epoch mod are aiming to deliver some zombie apocalypse.

Arma 3 Linux beta has been updated

The battleye does not work as supposed, because almost all the servers will kick because of unknown Battleye version. I was trying to start my server, but the server version for the experimental port is still only 1.54 :(
