Here's an update on #HaloMCC for #SteamDeck / #Linux for Anti-Cheat, plus the fix to get it working in single-player and co-op for now because apparently I never did a video on that yet.

Sounds like good news! From the bit I have played of it, single player seems to work pretty good on the Steam Deck.

I've heard people sing that it runs fine such that I think that it shouldn't be labeled as unplayable but have a working when purchased that online functionalities gimped on Linux/Steam OS.

Nope. You can just verify files to have it put it back and since you can only currently play with anti-cheat off anyway, it's really no problem.

I hope anticheat gets supported one day. Can't even do the single player challenges in it's current state.

The sad thing is that Anti Cheat does work on Deck. But it broke Infinite and they won't fix it. It's perfectly doable. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

For me this would make me completely switch over to SteamOs, I'd be willing to wipe the dual boot on my micro SD card. The custom games browser is mainly why I love the MCC and I can't wait to play it on deck once they get the issues sorted

Just to be clear, you won't be getting achievements with EAC disabled. But if you don't care about that, you're good to go right now! I've played through much of the Halo Reach campaign myself and had no trouble on my Fedora 36 installation.

I heard some people make it sound like the Master Chief collection was playable on Steam Deck obviously without the anti cheat and yet it is a label as unplayable by Valve themselves so I googled it just Thursday lol. I wish that they would label games that do work just minus the anti-cheat would specify. I feel that if they did that they could get more sales I'm sure somebody saw Master Chief collection isn't supported and didn't buy it. Maybe they just wanted to relive the campaign again. Or maybe even experience it for the first time.
