I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!

You must use the Linux build to play Dota Don't force the use of proton for it or vac will not work

Do you use the native version or do you use proton? I heard that this issue also occures when playing TF2 using proton.

Never had issues with Dota 2 on Linux. I wasn't using any sandbox, by the way. System's package manager for almost all applications, with the exception of Bottles on Flatpak.

Flatpak? I imagine that's the problem...
