Bug ID: 43521 Summary: BattlEye anti cheat service Product: Wine Version: 2.14 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: dawid.job@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Installer of any game using anti cheat BattlEye runs fine, but game doesn't start. On the first run the launcher tries to run battleye service, which it seems to be running but game doesn't start.
Sometimes it shows error in BattlEye window:
Installing BattlEye Service... Successfully installed BattlEye Service. Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Init Error (2).
Official BattleEye support for Linux is now dead/discontinued. Is there any chance to solve this problem from Wine side?
It's affect many popular games like PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds, H1Z1, Planetside 2, Tibia. Older version of these games was running very well since BattleEye made some changes on their side.
