Ah, it uses BattlEye anti-cheat, so they likely haven't turned on Linux / Steam Deck support for it, which could be part of the cause of it not launching.

@gamingonlinux Odds of it working on Steam Deck are pretty slim; I've been covering Ubisoft games for a while now, and Breakpoint in particular is a big sore spot for Ubisoft; The game still has some relatively major bugs that were present back in the technical test, and they have a really bad track record of optimization in general. They've all but dropped support for the game, just staying in maintenance mode for the servers. That reminds me - I have a suspicion that the anti-cheat plug-in that's added to #SniperElite5 may have gotten an update, & that might be what made it stop working on the #SteamDeck after working beautifully for a few months. @gamingonlinux Phew, for a sec it looked like you'd found the steam deck's... Breakpoint... |
@gamingonlinux another reason why we need community-run servers
