FOR HONOR™

I was looking forward to playing this game again. Ubisoft being Ubisoft decided to remove Linux/Steam Deck support entirely

Ubislop removed linux support, I can no longer play the game. Unlike other multiplayer games the game never had a big cheater problem so the change just seems weird.

I've loved this game for almost a decade now, but can no longer play due to the anti-cheat update barring linux and steam os. Uninstalling.

Not only is it a trash game, Ubisoft decided to make it no longer work on Linux for no reason. ♥♥♥♥ company, ♥♥♥♥ game. I can't wait for Ubisoft to go fully bankrup.

On September 10th Ubisoft have confirmed via social media that you'll no longer be able to play the game via Linux that also includes Steam OS for steam deck and the steam machine. This is frankly a terrible decision as rather than fix their flawed cheat system which fails to identify cheaters they're now revoking the ability to play for a decent amount of players who have spent many hours and money on this game. It wasn't bad enough that the other day they forgot to add the game files for might and magic and now they're deciding to cull and already low player base for For Honor. Yikes.

Genuinely one of the best melee combat systems ever put in a video game — stances, feints, guard breaks, reading your opponent's next move, the 1v1 duels here have a depth basically nothing else in the genre touches. When it's you against one other person who actually knows what they're doing, it's incredible. The problem is the game is rarely just that. Most modes throw you into 4v4s where "honor" means getting jumped by three vikings while you're mid-parry against a fourth — there is no real counter to a gank, there never was, and the community's answer to complaints about it has been "skill issue" for going on a decade now. Matchmaking also has zero mercy for anyone new. Recommended for the dueling modes specifically; go in expecting the rest of the game to actively hate you.

Please bring Linux support back 🐧⚔️ This is really painful for me to write because I genuinely love For Honor. I've been playing this game for years and have put a huge amount of time into it. I switched to Linux Bazzite, and For Honor has been running great for me through Proton. I can play normally, enjoy my matches, and I haven't had a reason to go back to Windows. And now Linux players are going to lose access because of the new anti-cheat changes. I understand that Ubisoft wants to fight cheaters and make Ranked better. I support that. But blocking legitimate Linux players who simply want to enjoy the game feels like the wrong solution. We bought the game. We supported it. Some of us have played for years and invested thousands of hours into it. We shouldn't have to install or switch to another operating system just to continue playing a game that was already working perfectly fine for us. I'm not writing this because I hate For Honor. I'm writing it because I love For Honor and want to keep playing it. I really hope Ubisoft listens to the Linux community and finds a way to make Proton/SteamOS compatible with the new anti-cheat system in the future. Until then, sadly, I cannot recommend For Honor to Linux/SteamOS users. Please Ubisoft, don't leave your Linux players behind. Bring Linux support back. 🐧❤️⚔️

Those stupid devs decided linux users would be left out.
