# Trials-Rising-Steam-Deck-Patch
Disabling Easy Anti-Cheat in trialsrising.exe so that the game works on Linux + Steam Deck


## Usage:
This is a Python script, it requires Python 3, which is already installed on SteamOS and virtually every Linux distribution.

Run this script on the Linux device that Trials: Rising is installed on with:

`python3 patch.py`

If the patcher says it couldn't find the file, you can specify the path to `trialsrising.exe` as a command line argument, like so:

`python3 patch.py /path/to/trialsrising.exe`

Before patching, the script saves a backup of your original executable to `trialsrising.exe.bak` so you can revert the change (for example, after a game update).

**Updated 2026-03-03**: Simplified and improved the process! It should now work for both Steam and Uplay versions of the game.

The patching process no longer relies on checksums, so it should continue to work even if the game is updated. 

Fun fact: as a byproduct of disabling EasyAntiCheat, this patch allows you to play the game on macOS! I use [Crossover](https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover), but other Wine-based solutions should work as well.
