Easy method[www.gamingonlinux.com]

This guide includes two methods of setup:

- Manual configuration

- Automated script

For the manual configuration, follow the guide from here. For the automated script, skip to the Setup script section.

First things first, we need to make sure that Proton is setup properly.


You need to locate Fall Guys in your Steam library, and then select Proton Experimental under the compatibility tab in properties.

A few minor file changes are required to get the game to start.

For these steps, you need to look in the game's files.


Simply copy Fall Guys/EasyAntiCheat/easyanticheat_x64.so to Fall Guys/FallGuys_client_game_Data/Plugins/x86_64/easyanticheat_x64.so


Next, you may need to edit the first line of the Fall Guys/FallGuys_client.ini file to the this:

TargetApplicationPath=FallGuys_client_game.exe

Then, you should be done with setting this up.


You should now be able to play the game!


If you have any issues, feel free to drop a comment on this guide and I'll do my best to help you out.

Andrade has also provided a bash script to perform this setup.

You can find it here[gist.github.com].

To use this script, simply open a terminal and run this command:

curl -s -L https://gist.github.com/rokam/3fb8b768606eef1ddd696cd0bc02e6df/raw/6a0f3a502b2722c87e92ea9cffb8a00144f8a76a/fix_fallguys.sh | bash

This will download the script to your current location, and run it. After the script has run, you should be able to play Fall Guys without a problem.

You do not need to run this script as well as completing the rest of the guide - they do the same thing - only use one.

It is somewhat likely you may run into a problem when following this guide, so if you do, don't worry.

Here are common issues and their fixes. Remember, if you have any other issues, post them below and we can try to help you out.


This issue seems to usually be caused by not having Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime installed. This is a quick fix though.


To solve this issue:

• Go to your Steam library
  
• Search for Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime
  
• Make sure that you have it installed and up to date
  
• Restart Fall Guys (if you didn't have it closed)

After following those steps, you should have the problem solved.


Most EOS issues people seem to have can be solved by ensuring that your Steam account is linked to your Epic Games account. You can do this either by opening a game on Windows or via the Epic website. After you've done this, restart the game and you should have more luck getting in.

The method followed in this guide was originally posted here: ProtonDB[www.protondb.com] by Andrade. They also provided the setup script, via GitHub.
