Perfect scrunge 👌

Just a wild guess: are you using the 5ghz or 2.4ghz Wifi? 5ghz is way faster but very fidgety with larger distance to the router, walls in the way or other routers nearby.

So, maybe you can troubleshoot your way out:

• play as close as possible to the router using 5ghz and see if problems persist
• check if changing to 2ghz makes a difference
• use a network analyser on your phone to check if others use the same band as you, which might disrupt your connection. If so, check your router settings to change band to another one

Good luck!

It would literally have cost you nothing not to write that sentence down… but here we are

Yes, I think that’s the consensus on how to pronounce it.

In case anyone has never heard the acronym: it stands for what you see is what you get. As opposed to what you see is what you mean (e. g. TeX)

EAC is fine, actually. They planned on moving to another Anti-Cheat that is definitely not supporting Linux (forgot the name), but this has been postponed atm

Strangely, I’m currently on the search for the exact same thing :D Your post was weirdly close to my own thoughts about this that I got stuck on it. Maybe you might try „Insurgency: Sandstorm“. Very very good Gunplay, some years old by now but at least in the EU or US it’s really not a problem to find a full match in about some seconds. There’s no grind - all weapons and attachements are unlocked right away, the only thing you can buy are weapon skins. It is on the „realistic“ end of the casual spectrum tho. Also, compared to COD or OW, the rounds feel rather slow.

Another one you can check out is „BattleBit Remastered“. It’s pretty hyped right now and kinda like what Battlefield should have been. It is extremely hectic and chaotic. The gunplay and customisation is really really good. Personally, it wasn’t really for me and I just could not get over the Roblox-Graphics… this one also works perfectly on Linux with Proton!

Honourable mention: with its Steam-Release it’s also a breeze to run OW2 on Linux! If you want to give it another try.

Edit: forgot this one. As you mentioned Halo - have you tried Halo: Infinite? This one is fucking infested with microtransaction tho… there is no chance to grind the content humanely possible without paying
