Plutonium - Linux Optimization Guide
-
Jason2309 The truth is that I have never used Steam Deck and in that sense I can't give you a definitive answer on the matter.
However, I do not particularly recommend you to play Plutonium on Steam Deck, because several users have reported how they are banned from Plutonium because of it, not because it is officially banned, because in fact it is not banned, but because all Steam Deck have the same HWID and this causes the anticheat to detect it and ban.
I have no idea if this is fixed today, but I'll let you know just in case.

SoyKappy im aware of this as i only really use plutonium for solo zombies anyway, but i accidentally went into it without lan mode on today and it worked perfectly fine without kicking me for hwif ban immediately and was able to get into a server. i only get around 40-60 fps using proton ge which works just fine, but switching to lutris does this. wine ge works fine as well which is odd
-
Jason2309 If with Proton the game was running fine, you can try to install the modified version of Proton for Lutris that Lutris itself provides in the settings, to see if that fixes the error. Or even an official Proton version directly.

SoyKappy i installed a bunch of them to play around with, and it seems using lutris 7.2 and not 7.2-2 has fixed this for me, and i also switched it back to 7.2-2 just to make sure and that seems to work fine now to? very weird but thank you for your help!

Everything is working perfectly for me except one small annoying issue. Whenever I try to play BO1 zombies my mouse isn't being tracked properly causing weird input delays
-
Asriel_Dreemurr The truth is that I honestly don't know very well what it could be, Black Ops 1 works normally for me as the rest of the games, I don't have the slightest idea of what could be the cause of this problem in your case.
-
Asriel_Dreemurr Setting my wine runner to system (arch, wine 8.21) fixed this. This issue happens because your mouse input in bo1 is tied to the FPS. Because of the Stutters/min fps fluctuation so much, your mouse will constantly speed up and slow down.
Using any other runner causes bo1 (and mw3) to slow down. System Wine works just perfect on all CoD's (and all maps ive tried) -
Given that the Steam Deck has a problem with the HWID being similar to one of previous cheaters, is it possible that we could be risking a ban just by playing on Linux as well? Not necessarily the Steam Deck (SteamOS) but just in general for Linux. (Sorry it sounds a little noob but yeah I just love the games)

AO554 No, the steam deck is just not compatible with Plutoniums AC currently (and possibly forever), Linux on its own is fine to use on Plutonium. I've been cooking up a new guide to post here since there's multiple, split up across this forum, and they all contain useful info, but not one guide has them all in one spot.
I plan to explain (in my user-end of understanding) how to use Plutonium on Linux, why its safe to, and if its worth it etc.

My audio and mouse are broken in game. There is no walking sounds or gun sounds and my mouse keeps stuttering
