Minecraft Dungeons II Won't Run on Steam Deck and Ace Combat 8 Kicks Linux Players From Online

GamingOnLinux reported on September 29 that Minecraft Dungeons II needs Microsoft Game Services, which fails under Proton and leaves a black screen, so it is rated Unsupported on Steam Deck with no workaround. Ace Combat 8, in advanced access before its October 1 launch, lets SteamOS players join lobbies but kicks them when matches start, because Easy Anti-Cheat's Linux support is not switched on. Bandai Namco has not commented.
