Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.

I’m surprised denuvo even runs via proton.
It’s based on Wine/Crossover. EXE compatibility came literally decades before DirectX compatibility.
I just thought it did something akin to kernel anticheat, something fucky like that which wouldn’t run properly via proton.
Maybe it will someday, if they think it’ll make cracking harder or that there was something to gain from Windows lock-in they’d do it.
