UPDATE 2: Another user has reported a response from Blizzard support which simply linked him to Overwatch usage terms and the EULA. "Sorry to hear that your account has been banned! I'm going to escalate your ticket so our team can take a closer look, and hopefully overturn the ban and give you some feedback so we can avoid this happening to other Linux users." UPDATE 1: The Redditor who originally posted this issue has received the following response from Blizzard support: I've reached out to several PR contacts at Blizzard for an official comment or explanation, and will keep you posted below. But just to be safe, if you're enjoying Overwatch on Linux, you may want to take a break until this is resolved or explained. If this has already happened to you, politely reach out to Blizzard support and explain the situation.
However, other users explain they're not using the "async" option and were banned today.ĭXVK is an option that's available after installing games via Lutris, a popular option for Linux gamers with titles not present on Steam. The initial theory was that the "async" option in DXVK, which reduces stuttering as the shader cache is built up, might be to blame and could be falsely detected as a hack resulting in an auto-ban. We at Blizzard can’t support it directly, but there are a number of players who play without issue on these sorts of configurations. You may see performance problems depending upon your setup. Since the game isn’t actually designed for those operating systems, we can’t guarantee stability however. Blizzard states via their community forum that "playing on Linux or even a Mac while on an emulated Windows environment is not bannable. It's worth noting that Blizzard does not have a policy of banning gamers simply for playing any of their titles on Linux. In a matter of hours since the post was published on Reddit, several other gamers have chimed in with stories of their accounts being banned as well. It appears to be a permanent account closure, not just a temporary ban.
