Hello Proton developers,

I would like to request better documentation regarding games that use kernel-level anti-cheat systems.

Some games, such as Destiny 2, cannot run on Linux through Proton because their anti-cheat requires Windows kernel drivers. Wine/Proton cannot load Windows kernel-mode drivers into the Linux kernel.

This is not a Proton bug, but it would help users if Proton documentation clearly explained:

  • why kernel-level anti-cheat is unsupported,
  • that the solution requires cooperation from game developers and anti-cheat providers,
  • which anti-cheat systems support Proton/Linux.

Thank you for your work on Proton.
