Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.

    I’m surprised denuvo even runs via proton.

      It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.

        I just thought it did something akin to kernel anticheat, something fucky like that which wouldn’t run properly via proton.
