Mods on Linux

It's not enough to subscribe to a mod in the Workshop, you also have to enable it in the launcher. Despite what some people say, the launcher works on Linux just fine. The issue is the Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) that misbehaves when you start the game with the launcher's Play button.

If you've switched already, no worries, you don't have to switch back just to start the launcher. Simply select Play Warhammer: Vermintide 2 when starting the game.

If that menu doesn't appear for you, you must've checked Always use this option at some point in the past. Again, no worries, we will temporarily revert that.

1. right-click the game title ⇾ Properties
   
2. swith General ⇾ Selected Launch Option
   to Ask when starting game
   
3. close properties
   
4. click PLAY in Steam to start the game
   
5. instead of bypassing the launcher select
   Play Warhammer: Vermintide 2

1. check Modded Realm
   
2. click Mods, select which mods to run, and set the order (dependencies must load first)
   

3. [optionally] check Auto-disable Unsanctioned Mods in Official Realm

4. save changes with ACCEPT

5. close the launcher or force stop the game
   

1. click PLAY in Steam
   
2. select Bypass Launcher DX12 (not the “modded” option! – mods will still load, no worries)
   

3. [optionally] you can check Always use this option

If you click Play in the launcher, or start the game with Bypass Launcher DX12 (modded) option, the game will start, and you'll be able to play… But after you finish the map, EAC will respond with gibberish, and you'll lose your progress (both, chests and XP)! Tested multiple times, so you wouldn't have to.
