Linux and MacOs support

Hi,

I would like to offer a goodwill suggestion regarding support for running with Wine (used on Linux, including the Steam Deck, and also in some solutions for macOS) or even VMs, which as far as I know weren't supported until a few months ago. 

My suggestion is to provide an offline mode that blocks access to online game modes but allows access to all offline modes like Kick Off, Manager Mode, etc., and to do squad updates. I don't see much sense in MANDATORILY having an anti-cheat when playing Manager mode or Kickoff and other offline modes.

 When launching the game there could be a checkbox to select this offline mode which would essentially disable the anti-cheat and allow play on all Linux, including the Steam Deck and upcoming Steam Machine, and Mac's as well.

Thank you and Happy holidays!

  • This is a good suggestion, I agree with you. Knowing that there is a limit, Linux users could choose if they want to play offline. I would like to support your idea. 

  • The Anticheat in Singleplayer gamemods is there mainly to prevent Reverse engineering the game... Since the anticheat can detect certain tools of removing the Denuvo protection... On another hand i compleatly accept we should get atleast Manager career and Kick Off on Linux... its the only thing holding me from going from Windows...
