ARMA 3 - LINUX with Steam Play Proton - Valve compatibility layer
40Arma 3 at HIGH+ settings with Steam Play Proton (3.16-7), the Linux compatibility layer from Valve.
NEWS: Arma 3 is now a Proton enabled BattlEye game so Battleye multiplayer should work on Linux and Steamdeck as of today 3/12/2021 !!
REMARKS : the game won't work out of the box you'll need to tweak the launcher. see below.
- To launch the game : Rename arma3.exe to arma3launcher.exe
Note that this video was done during a "free to play" weekend.
It was done with an old version of Proton and recording affect performance.
The newest version of Proton must have higher performance but I can't test it cause I don't own the game

[*] The Proton compatibility layer uses technologies developed for wine. Proton, the tool that Steam Play uses to provide Windows compatibility, contains a custom version of Wine as well as additional libraries developed alongside it.
Wine is free but you can support the development by buying a copy of a CrossOver product from Codeweavers at https://www.codeweavers.com/products
And you already support Valve by buying games on Steam :D.
IMPORTANT REMARKS:
1. All games bought on steam and played on Linux client (including using the proton compatibility layer) count as a Linux purchase !
