Battlefield V is the 16th entry in the first-person shooter developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. In the game, players compete against each other in historical battles, with 64 players at a time. In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to make it work on Linux.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Battlefield V works on Linux, but only with Proton and Steam Play. You\u2019ll need to use this technology to install the game and ensure that EA\u2019s Origin game client works.<\/p>\n

To use Steam Play and Proton, you will need to install the Linux version of Steam. Start the installation of Steam by opening up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open up a terminal window on the Linux desktop with Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard or search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow along with the installation instructions for Steam that correspond with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

To get Steam working on Ubuntu Linux, enter the following apt install<\/strong> command down below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
Installing Steam on Debian is possible, and the best way to go about it is by downloading Steam directly from Valve rather than dealing with the \u201cnon-free\u201d software repo.<\/p>\n
To download Steam to your Debian Linux PC, use the following wget<\/strong> download command to grab the Steam DEB package from the Steam website. When the download is complete, you\u2019ll be able to install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
To install Steam on Debian, use the dpkg<\/strong> command to install the DEB package on your computer.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
When the Steam DEB package is installed on your system, use the apt-get install -f<\/strong> command to correct any dependencies on the Debian Linux desktop.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
On Arch Linux, you\u2019ll be able to get the Steam app working, provided you have the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository up and running. To do that, open up the \/etc\/pacman.conf<\/code> file, locate the \u201c#multilib\u201d section and remove the # symbol, as well as the lines directly below it. Then, save the edits.<\/p>\n
After saving the edits, use the\u00a0pacman<\/strong> command to re-sync your Arch system to the repos.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -Syy\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, install Steam on your Arch Linux system with the pacman<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE Linux systems can install Steam out of the box through included software repositories. However, we suggest using the Flatpak release of Steam as it performs better on these OSes.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working via Flatpak on Linux, you must first install the \u201cflatpak\u201d runtime on your system using your package manager. If you can\u2019t figure out how to set up the runtime, follow our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpack runtime on your system, use the flatpak remote-add<\/strong> command to add the Flathub app store to your system. You\u2019ll need Flathub to install Steam.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With Flathub installed, use the flatpak install<\/strong> command to get the Flatpak release of Steam up and running on your system.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Battlefield V on Linux<\/h3>\n
With Steam set up, open up Steam, and follow the step-by-step instructions below to get Battlefield V working.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Open up the \u201cSteam\u201d menu, and click on the \u201cSettings\u201d button to open up Steam Settings. Then, find the \u201cSteam Play\u201d area, and click on it. Then, check box the \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d box and the \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles\u201d box.<\/p>\n
After checking both boxes, find the \u201cRun other titles with\u201d area, and set it to Proton Experimental. This version of Proton tends to give BFV the most success. That said,\u00a0 Battlefield V runs on most Linux systems (although you may run into issues, as it is rated \u201cGold\u201d and not \u201cPlatinum\u201d on ProtonDB).<\/p>\n
Note: you may need to experiment with various Proton versions to get BFV running on your system perfectly.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d button, and click on it to access the Steam Store. Inside of the Store, click on the search box and type in \u201cBattlefield V\u201d. Then, click on it in the search results to go to the game\u2019s Store page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Once on the store page, click on the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button and purchase the game.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> Find the blue \u201cINSTALL\u201d button, and click on it to install the game. When the game is installed, click on the \u201cPLAY\u201d button. However, clicking \u201cPLAY\u201d will not instantly launch the game.<\/p>\n
Instead, it will allow Steam to install Origin through Proton and onto your Linux PC. When Origin is installed, it will launch up, and you can link your account to Steam.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> When you\u2019ve linked your account, BFV should startup and be ready to play. Keep in mind that this game, unlike many other Steam Proton games on Linux, will have some issues. If you need help configuring your game, check out the ProtonDB page.<\/p>\n
