Worked for me, was able to load/play it once. Then wouldn’t load again. My first attempt I just renamed the file… so I then tried deleting it all together… game said couldn’t locate said file… so I am now uninstalling and re installing the 112gb game to get that file back where it goes and just wait for them to support it properly. They really should offer campaign and online play separately like the new halo… I don’t even play online anyways.

Nice! You will love it. I will let you know that the best way to play Gears 5 will be to dual boot the Steam Deck. You can play it using this workaround, but this is not official and something can change at any time (an update to the game, etc). However, if you install Windows this will not be an issue. I have my Steam Deck dual booted and I can play all of my games.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 Yes I have heard that you can install windows 10 to your steam deck. I don't want to do anything to my steam until I have seen a video of how to first. I don't want to mess up my steam deck like what I did with my psp. lol long story short I put the disk in backward. lol I ended up trading my psp in. lol
No. I have not encountered this and I just re-tested this method yesterday and it still works like a charm. You will want to make sure to rename the anticheat folder only and use GE-Proton 7-17. If you have any issues drop by our Discord so we can help you.
it works ! thanks, you have been a big help !! finally i can play my gears 5 on my steam deck XD PS: gears 5 workd perfectly, but after that i gonna play tekken 7 on steam deck, i notice my left joystick is not respond, still digging to find a solution 😭
The games work but when I sign in the microsoft acc then it keep loading at the screen snow jungle 😢 non stop ill wait a while and restart but still cannot play the games
And again not working properly when tryin to start the story creating lobby and it loading non stop I just got finish the bootcamp and 1 quickmatch yesterday
I could only get the intro tutorial to work with proton 7.17, but it would get stuck when trying to start the single player campaign. The good news is that I did find a workaround that's pretty simple... 1) Rename EasyAntiCheat folder to anything in %gamefolder%/GearGame/Binaries/Steam 2) Rename Gears5.exe to Gears5_EAC.exe (original Gears5_EAC.exe rename to anything) 3) Rename GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.dll in %gamefolder%/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/GFSDK_Aftermath/x64/ to gfsdk.dll 4) Place this dll (GFSDK_Aftermath_Lib.x64.zip) to the %gamefolder%/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/GFSDK_Aftermath/x64/ Link to zipped .dll file. =====> github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/files/8109623/gfsdk_source.zip Link to github thread =====> github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3042#issuecomment-1046904681
Great! I'm glad its working for you bro. I didn't know what to do in that instance because I didn't experience that issue. But now you've taught me something. Each one, teach one.😀
@ChunkyLover53 This same thing happened to me and I'll keep you posted once I got it to work (or not). UPDATE: The workaround and fix you gave are genuine and work flawlessly. Thanks! BTW, what are your preferred settings setup on the Steam Deck? Game and on the unit itself.
Steam has had updates that supposedly are more compatible with easyanticheat, so I'm trying to play multiplayer now since Steam has listed Gears 5 as "playable" I'm having a lot of trouble UNDOING this for some reason. I had followed this guide and simply renamed the folder to EasyAntiCheat-backup. Now I go to rename it back to EasyAntiCheat. Start the game and get the same message that the DLL isn't found and multiplayer is not available. I go back into the game files and find that it is renamed, again, to EasyAntiCheat-Backup! Any idea what is going on?
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 Thanks man, it work after signing into xbox live and awesome performance and what about dlc hivebusters (loved it from xbox) installed it and now it stack during firts loading time
Hey Bro, so after i downloaded proton 7-17 it worked for A few days. Now I tried playing it and it won’t work. Redownloaded the game, it worked then it stopped. Suggestions?
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 First of all, I want to thank you for your answer! I understood correctly, you recently installed Gears 5 on a proton 7-17 removing the anti-cheat and everything worked for you. Sorry for my English man, I'm from Ukrain)
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 thanks a lot bro! Bought the steam store/steamOS version. I just want to play the single player campaign. Not interested about the multiplayer since i know that anticheat is around.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 hey bro, jus checking in, finally downloaded it. It worked using 7.17 proton. Weird how an older proton version works rather than the new one. Tnx bro.
So I have done everything up until the proton7.17. Followed your link to add the proton and it would not show up on my search in desktop mode. How can I locate the proton ge?
This is not working anymore? Tried to do exactly as in the video an it doesn't start. It gives a error message saying easy anti cheat not found. This easy anti cheat is shit! It doesn't keep the real cheaters away, it gives honest people much trouble ...
Were you trying to play the single player campaign or the multilayer? This method only works for the single player campaign. I'll test it again abs see if it still works on my end
Only the single-player campaign can be played in SteamOS by disabling the anti-cheat. I believe Horde mode is part of multiplayer. If you want to be able to play the full game, your best bet will be a dual-boot or a WinDeck setup (Windows Only). We have tutorials on the channel showing how to set up both. If you choose a dual-boot. we recommend the SSD Partition Method over the SD card method for best performance and to avoid accelerated wear and tear on your SD card.
It just gets stuck there and doesn't go forward? I didn't experience that. If anything, try restarting the deck or reinstalling the game and see if it works. Also double check the proton is 7-17. If all else fails, check out my dual boot video. This will solve it 100%. Now that I have dual boot set up, I am running only verified and playable games on the SteamOS side and everything that is Unsupported on the Windows side.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 I couldn't get it to work with proton 7.17, but I was able to find a workaround that someone posted on github. I'll post steps in new conversation.
@OVERKILL GAMING actually im slow in the brain and it took me awhile to figure it out. I installed protonGE-49 and not the 17 version. I figured a newer version would work better but for whatever reason i get stuck on the create a lobby screen. With 17 it works as intended. Thank you.
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 i have no idea. I removed the anti cheat file then it let me load the game but during the verses games with the bots. Usually you get xp but it’s blank. I guess because I can’t play online with Linux
This method is only recommended for the single player campaign. Anything outside of that we strongly recommend a Windows install/dual boot to take advantage of all of the features of the game.
It works bro.... Tested it again on Christmas... ruclips.net/video/i3lolNj8p80/видео.html... You need to make sure that you are using the Proton we mentioned in the video.

Thx bro for this tip, it was really usefull after i got the game and was really instructive, however i have 2 more questions if u dont mind : i have the gears 5 on windows 10 that i bought years ago, and i'm wondering if i can play it on steam deck without rebuying the game, let me know if possible and how to do it. My second question is about another game from microsoft that annoying me (forza horizon 4) i bought it this time directly on steam deck however its crashing all the time it run the game max for 15 min the crash, and when i reach the third race on compaign it crushing each time i launch this race it will be really kind if u can answer or if u have a link about that to how to fix it thx, u're the best
Hi, so to answer the first question if you are referring to a copy that you purchased through PC Gamepass then you will have to install Windows on the Steam Deck to play it. However, I will say that I have tried playing Forza on Gamepass in Windows on the deck and it has not been very stable. Still researching the issue. I have played it on Steam in Windows on the Steam Deck and it worked fine for me. As for the crashing in steamOS, I never experienced this myself. But I did check Reddit and found some information for you. Take a look: www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ty60yl/forza_horizon_5_constant_crashes/?
Any way to get gears 5 for a good price? Is it only the steam version that works, or can you buy a cheaper pc version and still use on the deck? Thanks
I have only used the Steam version in SteamOS. If you have Game pass and Windows installed on the Steam Deck then you can play it on Game pass and it's included in the subscription. Game pass is the cheapest way to play Gears 5. Unfortunately, Game pass doesn't work in SteamOS

Unfortunately, the entire multiplayer is locked without the the anticheat to my knowledge. But, there is always the option of installing Windows on the deck. You will be able to play the game in it's entirety and it runs really well
For anyone looking for another way to play Xbox games like this but don't want to dual boot, I recommend Xbox cloud gaming it's insanely stable and really easy to set-up
I think this will only work on games that have both a single and a multiplayer and if the single-player doesn't require the anti-cheat to be played. You might have to install Windows for PUBG
This all worked for me, except I am stuck on "Creating a lobby" message and it just hangs from there. Anyone has a solution for this and BTW, I am playing on a Steam Deck?
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 I did found his post and that actually worked for me as well, just pointing it out that there's a workaround just in case the video you posted didn't work for someone else. Cheers!

I think this will only work on games that have both a single and a multiplayer and if the single-player doesn't require the anti-cheat to be played. You might have to install Windows for PUBG
My steam deck fros
restart it. it should work for most games. if not try different protons. In other games I have to test different protons to get it to work.
Ugh! So lame, I don't want to install windows. And I love horde.
I'm gonna be honest. I spend way more time in Windows than in SteamOS now, even I do like the crispness of SteamOS
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 Yea. I want to keep it casual and not having to install windows. However, I play a lot of Gears 5 horde mode multiplayer. Lol
This all worked for me, except I am stuck on "Creating a lobby" message and it just hangs from there. Anyone has a solution for this and BTW, I am playing on a Steam Deck?
I didn't encounter this issue, but another guy in this chat did and found a fix. He posted it in this thread
@@OVERKILLGAMING786 I did found his post and that actually worked for me as well, just pointing it out that there's a workaround just in case the video you posted didn't work for someone else. Cheers!
