Either way, it's good to see because Linux gaming is starting to have more attention paid to it.ĭOOM Eternal can be found on Steam. If they clear that up, we will let you know. It's not entirely clear if they mean it will work with online play, or just auto detect Proton to disable it for single-player parts of games. I'm happy access is restored for you guys. Feel free to me directly with feedback once you had a chance to try it. In addition, tools provided by Irdeto will be used by developers to protect sensitive data that may be present in-game files. Developers creating games for Sonys new console will be able to take advantage of the proven system. They mentioned this over on Valve's Proton GitHub issue tracker:ĭenuvo Anti-Cheat will have Proton support out-of-the-box for releases beyond DOOM: Eternal. Irdeto, the company responsible for Denuvo, revealed that the Anti-Cheat technology is now also available on PS5. Going even further than that, Michail Greshishchev, the Product Owner at Denuvo claims that Denuvo Anti-Cheat will actually support Proton in future releases. They also said that if/when they try again in future, at minimum they "must consider" that it will have the ability to play single-player without it.


In the post they explained that the anti-cheat will be removed from the game in the next update. On Reddit, id Software made a post to explain their plans for updating DOOM Eternal after the backlash. Just take a look at how the user reviews went on Steam… This addition entirely broke it in the Steam Play Proton compatibility later for Linux and enraged the wider PC community for being added after the game was already released. Recently, DOOM Eternal gained the brand new Denuvo Anti-Cheat tech, which is not to be confused with their usual DRM tech.

Some really good news for PC gamers everywhere, as it seems one small battle against invasive anti-cheat has been won.
