Symptoms

Like its sister games Red Orchestra 2 and Killing Floor 2, Rising Storm 2 tries to install .net everytime you play it. On my previous set up (under Kubuntu) I would sometimes get crashes on launch or when changing maps (I discuss this more at length at the Killing Floor 2 bug page) but since moving to Manjaro I have not gotten these crashes with this game. So far its just the annoyance of the .net install issue

Some time ago, there was a problem with Easy Anti-Cheat, but it started working a couple months ago? I didnt have the game before then, I bought it because people on protondb said it was working, which it is. You can play the game pretty much perfectly on my set up save for the annoyance of the .net install issue.
