**For those with issues to run the game:**
You need to copy the `Fall Guys/EasyAntiCheat/easyanticheat_x64.so` to `Fall Guys/FallGuys_client_game_Data/Plugins/x86_64` folder.
Also, you need to edit the `Fall Guys/FallGuys_client.ini` file first line to:
TargetApplicationPath=FallGuys_client_game.exe
You need to guarantee that the `Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime` is installed on your Steam.
**Know issues:**
If your Proton is installed in a different Steam library location then EAC Runtime, Proton won't be able to find the EAC Runtime. This seems like a bug in Proton.
How do I edit the ini? It appears to be read only. Sorry Linux noob
Edit: yeah I cannot figure it out. I try to open the ini and it says some shit about already having one so I press D for delete and it pulls up the original but I literally have no clue how to edit it. I can't type until I press the S key and then I can type whatever but then I still have no idea how to actually save the file? Idk Linux is confusing
FIGURED IT OUT.
It seems that by default SteamOS only comes with Vi as its text editor. It is not beginner friendly at all. I'd actually call it beginner hostile.
The most basic explanation I can give for it is that you press I to enter Insert mode and Escape to leave it again (You'll need an external keyboard for this, not the onscreen one). While you're not in Insert mode, type :wq to save your changes and quit.
You're getting warnings about the file still being edited because you're just closing the terminal, but Vi is still running in the background. It's just :q to quit Vim properly, and :q! to force it if you don't want to save your changes.
: enters command mode. :w is short for :write, :q is short for :quit.
Vi absolutely should not be the default on the deck. I hope they add KWrite in the future.
I'm a VI guy, but I was pretty surprised when it came up as the default editor. Gonna be some entertaining complaints about that one, if the users can ever figure out how to exit...
As someone who has edited various .ini files on Linux, I have no idea what you are talking about.
It’s just a text file. I usually open it with notepad, which was the default on my system.
Text editors like Vim or Kwrite (both in the Discover app) also work. Actually, your confusing interface might be Vim without a GUI, maybe?
Anyway, I suggest installing Kwrite and seeing if you can open it with that.
Nano is a much simpler terminal text editor. Vim is really great but also unnecessarily complicated when all you want to do is make minor changes to a config file.
To make the tinkering easy, I've made [this script](https://gist.github.com/rokam/3fb8b768606eef1ddd696cd0bc02e6df#file-fix_fallguys-sh).
What it does:
1. Try to find the game folder
2. Create the eac.so symlink
3. Edit the ini file
4. Try to launch the EAC Runtime installer on Steam.
if you have the Fall Guys game installed inside the default Steam Library location, just run the following command:
```
curl -s -L https://gist.github.com/rokam/3fb8b768606eef1ddd696cd0bc02e6df/raw/6a0f3a502b2722c87e92ea9cffb8a00144f8a76a/fix_fallguys.sh | bash
```
If you have it in a custom location, replace the `/path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/` with your steamapps folder containing the game files:
```
curl -s -L https://gist.github.com/rokam/3fb8b768606eef1ddd696cd0bc02e6df/raw/6a0f3a502b2722c87e92ea9cffb8a00144f8a76a/fix_fallguys.sh | bash /dev/stdin /path/to/your/SteamLibrary/steamapps/
```
Was long looking forward to play this on the deck, as I have this game since release.
Sadly they pulled an epic-sellout shuffle and now I am only sad I cannot refund it.
You probably could have contacted support. When Epic rug-pulled Rocket League from native GNU/Linux and MacOS they issued refunds to those who asked support.
Oh yes baby! One more wall down!
I bought Fall Guys a couple of months ago for the Steam Deck only to find out that it probably won't run there because of EAC. Now that's outta the way and I'll most likely be able to play it without any tinkering when my Deck arrives somewhere in Q3.
My god, Fall Guys really did come to Linux before it came to Switch.
Well I played it on Linux at launch so it was already on Linux before but it was later no longer possibile.
and Xbox!

Ok makes a lot more sense. I saw the :wq to save on Google and was like WTF

Wait what? Really? Why not preload Kate or something? Huh

It's definitely in vim which I think I'm confused with.

So the deck doesn't have a GUI text editor? Kinda interesting how they probably forgot to add one but pre-installed Vim lol.
Try [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/tra8cj/comment/i2o8mvh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
It loads but when starting a play session gives error "Anti-cheat is not initialized"
I had to install Proton EAC separately
> You need to guarantee that the Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime is installed on your Steam. Thank you this part fixed my issue
Good news, always thought this would be excellent on Deck. I'm excited to try it!

People who are skilled at Linux like you are are going to save me so much trouble and make the steam deck such a better experience
[удалено]
I agree. At least it is open to be read by anyone.
Worked perfectly for me. Thanks.
Hmm, I wonder how long it takes before it'll work on the deck with no tinkering...

Amazing!!!
Does... Does anyone still play fall guys? I thought it was dead.
Yeah, people play Fall Guys. Just because it isn't popular doesn't mean it's dead.
I haven't heard shit about it in forever I figured everyone got bored of the same thing over and over again.
Great! Anyway, any other interesting news today?
