I'm posting this in the hopes that it gains traction and enough attention that the Devs take notice (long shot I know but will try anyway), I hate windows platform for many reasons that I won't get into here but because of it I have moved to Linux about 3 months ago and I love it. Before I moved over one of my favourite games was R6 Siege and I have waseted many hours playing it through all of its flaws it is a great game . Linux has improved a lot since I first looked at it 3 years ago with great driver support compared to 3 years ago and lots of new games supporting the platform. I have over 300 games in my steam library and about half support Linux which was not a thing back then. It has become a viable gaming platform alternative to windows atleaest in my case it has. Key thing being that the network drivers on Linux in my case work so much better then the windows drivers making my online gaming experience better then what it was on windows. But getting off topic. I hope that I'm not the only one when saying this that I really would like R6 Siege to support Linux so I don't need to jump through hoops like dual booting and PCI passthrough which I have tried it just would be so much better if native Linux support was a thing

my post on Ubisoft forms if your interested in giving your support "https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/1909858-Linux-support-for-R6-siege"

all this started from a response I received from Ubisoft them selves to a a question I made to them asking about possible Linux support and they basically said to get it out there on there Form and if it gains enough attention the Devs may take notice and possibly look at support, as I said it is a long shot idea but going to try it anyway

Also open to anyone whom now's there way around Linux better then I do and can get rainbow 6 Siege work on Linux using something along the lines of winehq. I have both Uplay and steam versions of R6 Siege but I can't get the game to start beyond the first time setup for the game, from research and looking at error logs it gets stuck with either battle eye or Microsoft visual C++ 2015 32bit
