The "launch window" opens, and it'll say "running" in the library menu. but then the window closes and it stops "running". It never launches.

From a couple of those steam play websites ive been to it appears no one could get it working so I dont expect a solution anytime soon. Figured I would just post this Issue so its documented, and to save the next user a couple minutes from having to post it themselves.
It's because of the way Ubisoft has implemented BattleEye and the Uplay app. No one has been able to get Siege to work in Wine, but maybe Valve can. Or maybe they can talk Ubisoft into making a compatibility patch for Proton.
If there's BattleEye port to Proton, many games will become available. E.g. Planetside 2 doesn't work because of this issue. But still I doubt it's possible to implement this support in a reasonable time.
Its the EAC problem. EAC is included in Fortnite Apex, Paladins, PUBG and many more games... EAC is the problem we can pass BattleEye. @rayslava
EAC doesn't exist in Rainbow Six Siege...
Not BattleEye problem you can by pass it...
Oh? Please do tell.
I just got back a reply from Battleye support
Dear Jatin, Currently we do not officially support Wine, but we are working with Valve to add support for Proton (SteamPlay) on Steam.

They just exactly copy pasted same thing they said in may of 2019 XD
I wonder if this will have any effect.
Why would it? R6 still uses BattleEye, Vulkan doesn't change that. Although it is a much welcomed addition to Siege that gives a MAJOR performance increase on my hardware (Windows 10).
Anyways I have an installer for current day Siege (doesn't work obviously) and I've tried the Vulkan one and it still just hangs on running, unfortunately.

Really hoping this is close to being done.
@grravity Its a lie they copy pasted same thing no matter when u ask, with no progress reports.
@jatin-cbs I wouldn't say it's a lie.. They may just not want to or be able to provide much info.
@jatin-cbs Yeah, they're probably working on it, but won't give an ETA because the compatibility tweaks are done when they're done, i don't think they exactly know how much stuff is left to be fixed, one after another.
Still crashes on Proton 5.0-7
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-28-generic x86_64 OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS CPU: Ryzen 3 1300x GPU: Geforce GTX 1050 Ti RAM: 8GB DDR4 HDD: 1TB Driver Version: nvidia-driver-440 Steam Version: May 1st build
Normal (not vulkan) crash log: https://pastebin.com/YFmNmS0f Vulkan crash log: https://pastebin.com/R485XD0r
Think it must be BattlEye (uplay works fine for watch_dogs 2) but possibly Uplay too
I've heard of a patch to get it working by disabling BattlEye and a UPlay workaround but kinda pointless the game is multiplayer and situations are just tutorials essentially.
Thanks
IIRC R6 launches through BattleEye so there's no way in hell it will launch on Linux.
@ZVNexus hopefully BattlEye support is added soon then. stuff like PUBG and R6S are probably keeping a lot of players on Win10. Also EAC for games like HALO and Rust. Big task though to deal w/ tho.

I agree, would be nice to have a way around invasive anti-cheats running at ring 0 though, fuck that shit. Have to have a dedicated rig for that or don't play the games at all or just deal with it.
@grravity i hate them but i guess they are necessary. If you can afford it dedicated rigs for that are probably good lmao. But yeah hope BattlEye support comes soon
Protondb just had a report in the last week saying that the game is working on a recent arch kernel, can we get anyone to test this? https://www.protondb.com/app/359550#UBgcmyM4u4
Tried now with:
- Kernel: 5.13.8-arch1-1
- Intel i7 6700k
- GTX 1070
No, it doesn't work (both DirectX and Vulkan version).

On Steamdeck FAQ - We’re working with BattlEye and EAC to get support for Proton ahead of launch.
Also I am testing patches from upstream proton and testing with latest Proton GE versions https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom as GE updates wine to the latest upstream version. So once I get any progress I will update it here but probably y'all nerds will know :)
EAC and BattlEye support has been officially confirmed for Steam Deck (Proton). I feel this expectionally great news will turn the tables for this issue and many others alike.

The only issue being that we'll have to get Ubisoft to check the "enable proton" box on their end, and we know how studios like theirs can be.
That is very true, but with the marketing happening around the device and thus devs wanting a piece of the money cake, I am fairly confident we'll see changes happening in reasonable time. I hope this doesn't age poorly (guess we all do).
The game now launches but fails to get into a match with error 0x00001001 from BattlEye. I think it needs the BEService_x64.exe service to run in the background. Any idea can I do that?

They weren't confirmed, they told that they're working on it. EAC should be ported on Linux now, but we don't have any guarantee that:
- BattleEye will be ported before Steam Deck release
- It will be updated in R6: Siege by Ubisoft
Yes hoping for ubisoft to click 2 times and we good to go !
Most likely it's more complicated than clicking the checkbox. I'd guess that they need to get updated version of anti-cheat libraries or sources, then if it has some BC breaks update the game code or if not just thoroughly test it before just "clicking the checkbox".
So don't wait for Ubisoft to do that in a second.
There were alot of positive reports after installing proton battleye runtime from steam

Lets see if it still works !
Unable to launch on my system but some people who did, got Kicked :) from the game. Yesterday it was working for many tho.
Tried Siege w/Proton and gotta say it works fine but does have some issues, one is that input is messed can't change any keybinds or sometimes will stick on a key(this one I gotta check again since it could be my keyboard) Multiplayer games work fine, now I am having issues after 3 matches 2 days ago and its not letting me into one without kicking me. If you tab out, you will mess up Siege to where its a black screen and you have to restart the game. Other than that it was pretty good.
Vulkan version did work, and same to say about DX version. Both have pretty similar performance.
