Have they stated that they’re going to support Linux or at least Proton/Wine? I did a quick search on the game’s Steam forum and it sounded like it doesn’t work currently.
It sounds like they’re using Anti-Cheat Expert, which is some Chinese AC. It doesn’t support Linux and there isn’t an existing wine module to support it, like there is for Battle Eye and EAC. So no, it won’t work at least for the moment.
I’d recommend removing it from your wishlist. Tencent bought the name and are the reason all the NovaLogic Delta Force games have been pulled from Steam and stuff. A Tencent subsidiary is developing the game, which is a free to play hero shooter. At this point a game about being a sky marshal on Delta flights would be a closer spiritual successor to Delta Force.
Follow up. I was still able to purchase DF1, 2, LW, and TFD from Steam as a pack for 21 CAD. Playing now via Proton. I do not think they have been removed unless it’s a regional issue.
it’s in open beta? how do i access it? i only see an option to “join the play test” but when i went through that it just told me it would email me if i qualify
Yeah and thats ok because it’s not being advertised as a finished game. I have been waiting for another game studio to do it better and the videos look fire!
Im so happy for the new game Delta Force which is in open beta right now and going to be a BF killer. EA and Dice can go to hell!

Weird for someone to bring that up in a linux community, then.
Anyways buy Ravenfield.
Damn that reminds me of the old school Novalogic gem of the same name. Added to my wishlist, thanks.

Appreciate the insight. Between that and not functioning on Linux or Proton, I’m out!

Ah, so all of them have been delisted on GoG. Black Hawk Down was delisted on Steam, however the rest remain available.

So much of my youth spent (wasted, my parents would say) on BHD, and then Joint Ops!!!

Yup just give it a few days,I just did the same earlier today.
But Delta Force is just 2042 before they fixed the initial mess. Nothing about it is remotely exiting or better than 2042.
Are you trying to defend the worst BF ever released???
Not really, I just do not understand why people like Delta Force as it is just a 2042 clone but without the fixes…
