Rec Room for Linux?

It would be amazing if you could get rec room working on linux. Even through proton (A steam compatibility layer to enable windows games on linux). It currently hangs on the easy anticheat loader. Now that easy anti cheat has some support for linux, could you enable that? Even if it meant we would only get to a login screen that would be progress. Since my recent move to linux I have bee sad that I have not been able to play with my friends. Please consider doing this. Thanks.

  Hey there. We did put in some effort to try and get the game to load on Linux using Proton, but last we checked in, we needed an issue to be fixed by EAC that we don't have any control over. 
  
  We'll try and circle back to this in the future when we have time. I agree that it would be nice to allow Linux users to be able to load the game without having to necessarily port to Linux.

  I recently heard that EasyAntiCheat is now supported for Linux but the devs have to enable it, it's at least one step forward for the people who aren't using Windows :D

  Here is the Steamworks documentation on getting EAC games to run properly in proton. This section is specifically for the Steam Deck, but it's generally applicable to all x86_64 Linux. If you are already using the most recent version of EAC then even just the first two steps should allow Linux users to play if they copy easyanticheat_x64.so from Steam's proton EAC runtime into their game files.

  EAC is even easier to support, where is it?

  EAC has supported Linux and Proton for a while now, please enable it

   

  I was extremely disappointed today when I found out that it didn't get past the startup screen because of EAC. Running natively on Quest has low quality so I  wanted to run on PC, but nope I guess. From what I've heard you just need to enable a setting on EAC, you don't even have to do extra code for it to work.
