Do You play it over Steam?

A other game to that stopped working online is RISK OF RAIN 2 i playes it like a month ago and was working fine now cant conect to multiplayer. I tried thos game on my other pc on windows 10 and everyting work fine

Is Steam installed as Flatpak or did You download the .deb Version from Steam directly?

i installed it from the zorin app

You mean the Software Store? Can You please check if it is the Flatpak or APT Package?


Flatpak i gues?

It's advisable to use the (zorin OS (apt) package when it comes to Steam. Flatpak runs in sandbox and needs to be set correctly up with Flatseal.

Okay, You have the flatpak Version installed. Flatpaks run with limited Permissions be default (that is intended). And this can lead to some Issues. I would suggest to uninstall the Flatpak Version and use the APT Version or download the .deb Version directly from Steam.

just installed steam directly from steam and reinstalled the game but still dont work :cry:

Does this game use Anti-Cheat?

Anti-Cheat looks for spoofing; and since Steam is running on Zorin OS using a compatibility layer, it looks like Spoofing to anti-cheat.
Anti-Cheat is contentious because game makers know it is a problem and could fix it; but won't because they consider the GnuLinux market insignificant.

You probably can get it to load using Proton-GE, but entering a lobby or a friends server - May be blocked by anti-cheat.

Some games, the server owner can disable the anti-cheat - which will allow Unix-like users to join.

I checked on proton and the game is raited gold
