Sadly I found out the Linux version hasn’t gotten the latest update so you gotta run it through Proton if you want Co-op with people on Windows.

No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.

That we totally agree on.

Just saying security/privacy issues aside these types of anti cheat don’t actually help as much as some people hope in combatting cheaters.

As long as they don’t touch BF1 and earlier I’m still fine.

Still think server side anti cheat is the ONLY way to combat cheaters at this point. All client side efforts (even kernel level) have been bypassed and hardware cheating devices running outside of the computer are becoming VERY common.

Thanks for the reply I managed the fix my issue and updated my post.

I was missing lib32-libpulse and after installing it everything worked including my unwanted audio outputs showing up ingame.

I’ve only just switch to Arch yesterday from EndeavourOS so there’s a lot of preinstalled stuff I took for granted I’m just now finding out about.

I’ve only distro hopped once…kinda, I went from Pop_OS with a 2 month stop over back on Windows 10 before landing on Endeavour

Been meaning to try move to vanilla Arch or try other distros now that I know a bit more about Linux, and my system is getting pretty cluttered. Just remembering what I need to backup is a pain.

EndeavourOS since July 2023. I’m doing my part!

Late reply but I only just found this post.

It’s the framerate that’s messing up your mouse, but using the in-game FPS limiter doesn’t play nicely with Proton/Wine so here’s my solution.

In the launch options for Black Ops add

DXVK_FRAME_RATE=125 %command%

You can replace 125 with whatever fps you you can consistently hit. In-game you have to turn off vsync and uncap your fps, but for some reason BO1 defaults your settings if you leave the fps uncapped, So instead use the console command com_maxfps 200 just make sure the number is higher than what you’ve set in the steam launch options.

Also if the game ever asks you to launch in “safe mode” click no or it will revert all your graphical settings.
