Story mode should be playable, there is a option to disable BattlEye in Rockstar Launcher
This shit is compatible with Linux no?
Does installing the Proton BattlEye runtime do anything?
I don’t play many games that use it, but for Ark you have to install a separate BattlEye.
Rockstar replied to someone’s support request
We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.
We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.

Steam Deck does not support BattlEye for GTA Online
Such a crappy way of wording it and trying to blame the steam deck when BattlEye has said that they have had linux and wine support long before the steam deck came out
Official Rockstar Community (RP) Servers will not require BattlEye to play. Community Server launchers will disable BattlEye as part of their launch processes.
What makes RP servers so special that they don’t need BattlEye?

BattlEye has provided native Linux and Mac support for a long time and we can announce that we will also support the upcoming Steam Deck (Proton). This will be done on an opt-in basis with game developers choosing whether they want to allow it or not.
You don’t build an OS for an application, you build an application for an OS. It should read “BattlEye doesn’t support Steam Deck”.
Personally, I prefer my online open world sessions to be total unplayable nonsense.
Big ol’ cascade effect. Even back in late 2015, they made an update to old-gen release consoles (PS3, 360) that prevented users from loading directly into Online upon booting up the game. If you chose that option; endless load loop and an eventual crash. From that point on until forever, you had to load singleplayer and use the shoddy interface to select an Online game for your multiplayer character.
They have a history of ruining Online with every update. I can only imagine all of the problems that accumulated since then, if it is even playable at all on those consoles.
