Fall Guys Steam Deck Anti Cheat Not Initialized

How to Fix Anti-Cheat Issues When Playing Fall Guys on Steam Deck

Introduction

Fall Guys is a hilarious multiplayer game that is well-suited for the Steam Deck. However, some users have reported encountering anti-cheat issues when trying to play the game. This can be frustrating, but fortunately, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem.

Copy Anticheat File as Every FG

The first step is to make sure that you have the latest version of Proton installed. Proton is a compatibility layer that allows you to play Windows games on Linux. To update Proton, open the Steam client and go to Settings > System. In the "Steam Play" section, select "Proton Experimental" from the "Runtime" drop-down menu.

Setting Up to Play Fall Guys in Lobby Game Selection Area

Once you have updated Proton, you need to copy the anticheat file from the Fall Guys installation directory to the Proton directory. To do this, open a file browser and navigate to the Fall Guys installation directory. The default location is ~/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/FallGuys. Once you have found the installation directory, open the "BattlEye" folder and copy the "BEService.dll" file to the Proton directory. The default location for the Proton directory is ~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/proton_experimental.

When I Choose a Game to Join I Get Anti Cheat Not

Once you have copied the anticheat file, you need to restart the Steam client. After the Steam client has restarted, you should be able to launch Fall Guys and play without any anti-cheat issues.

If This Happens Exit the Game

If you are still having anti-cheat issues, you can try the following additional steps: * Verify the integrity of the game files. To do this, open the Steam client and go to Library > Fall Guys > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files. * Reinstall Fall Guys. * Contact the Fall Guys support team.

Unfortunately Fall Guys Does Not Have Native Support for the Steam Deck Due to Its Anti-Cheat

Fall Guys does not have native support for the Steam Deck due to its anti-cheat. This is because the anti-cheat software that Fall Guys uses is not compatible with the Steam Deck's operating system. As a result, you will need to use Proton in order to play Fall Guys on the Steam Deck.

This Issue Seems to Usually Be Caused by Not Having Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime Installed

If you are getting an error that says "Anti-cheat is not initialized," it is likely because you do not have Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime installed. To install Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime, open the Steam client and go to Settings > System. In the "Steam Play" section, select "Proton Experimental" from the "Runtime" drop-down menu. Then, click on the "Install" button next to "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime." Once you have installed Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime, restart the Steam client and launch Fall Guys. You should now be able to play the game without any anti-cheat issues.
