POP_OS: Stam VAC Anti-cheat prevents me from playing DOTA2

dwindling7373@feddit.it to Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml – 18 points –

I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!

You must use the Linux build to play Dota Don't force the use of proton for it or vac will not work

Do you use the native version or do you use proton? I heard that this issue also occures when playing TF2 using proton.
