173 Denuvo games. All from userspace. All you need is a Proton build, and if you're on Zen 3 and below, a hypervisor.
Existing releases are actively being updated to support Linux, with Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced already working amongst almost a hundred others.
A full compatibility list will be posted this week, with the detailed instructions for the setup process already available.
Now on the Stickies of the Main Forum on CS RIN.
Ugh I want to try this, but I'm using bazzite and it doesn't allow you to use dkms, and I'm not really keen on switching distros at the moment. This looks a lot easier than getting around it in windows.
Someone will eventually make an easy way. I mean this is already an example of that too, but there is always someone that will see the easy way and be like "I can make it easier".
Bazzite does have it's own method of installing modules to the system. It's just not dkms. It would be great if this was adapted to that method though it'll probably be a while until that happens.
I was looking into it when bazzite was new but at the time it seemed like for my specific case at least I would have had to make my own image based on one of the bazzite images similar to how bazzite is based on ublue. iirc it was a module for some motherboard specific thing but I sold that one and got a normal one.
That definitely seems like a pain. I hope there will be an easier method since a lot of people use Bazzite.
I haven't read up on the finer details but someone already made a decky plugin. you also need the special proton build but seems way easier.
If you have AMD Zen 4 or newer, or Intel Ivybridge or newer the hypervisor isn't needed. For older than Zen 4 though you need the kernel module to make it work.
Currently you need to use dkms to install it but Bazzite doesn't allow that so it would need to be tweaked to use the method Bazzite uses to layer kernel modules.
Why does Bazzite not allow you to use dkms? That's stupid, no idea why people shill for that distros.
It is not stupid, it just has a different use case.
It's an immutable distribution. By design you're not meant to modify/deal with system files.
It's mainly being recommended for Linux beginners, but not the enthusiasts who choose to compile custom kernels, install drivers etc.
Hopefully there will be a guide on how to install the module on immutable systems like Bazzite in the future. The proper way as they intended of course via rpm-ostree.
