Hello there! I’ve been trying to solve it on my own but after 7 hours of work I just gave up. After some pondering I’ve decided to install manjaro because I have heard that this distro is fine for “gamers”. So after installing cs2 I found myself in disbelieve because in run better than on Win 10. After two competitive games I downloaded Helldivers 2. And here began my fight with this error. I do not know what to do. Any ideas?
the version helldivers2 is not for linux at this time
check always if this can run on others os
According to https://www.protondb.com/app/553850 users have had succes on proton, run it through steam?
It worked on Ubuntu (but poorly), and it works on SteamOS, which is based on archlinux. But I still have issues here on manjaro.
I did run Helldivers 2 on steam. And even tried different versions of Proton that are available on steam. Still no success.
I’m not sure if GE proton is something that steam provides, this used to help me get some games running.
I’ve got the same error on GE proton. I dunno what to do. Is there a possibility that some debugger is causing this? If yes, how can I disable it?
The game works great on SteamOS which is based on Arch like manjaro as far as I know. So it should work fine.
He used Manjaro and it worked, use starting parameter:
--use-d3d11
Alot people also reported a fullscreen issue, a ini file can be tweaked for borderless window mode.
other Manjaro users:
The game has big problems with AMD GPU’s also, post your system plz.
Even alot Windows gamers, got problems with Helldivers2.
Im also bought this game yesterday from a keystore for only 30€ but i had no time yet to install it.
Anyways, this game need patches and you will get better results after adjustments from Proton and the developer… the game not running away, i normaly wait for first discounts on new games
to play it with greater quality 
Here is info about my pc. I tried using the starting parameter that you’ve provided but the same error persists. Meaning there is an issue with GameGuard which is an Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat. But I still do wonder why am I the only one who’s got this error message on the internet. Before I came here I’d been googling for hours with no real results. What really bugs me is this WinLicense error of which screenshot I’ve had provided in the post at the beginning. I am sure that I mentioned that the game worked on Ubuntu, in the answer to the user stephane. It worked very poorly but there wasn’t any error with GameGuard nor with WinLicense. So my focus would be on these two rather on the starting parameter of the game itself.

Oh and btw I’ve seen your post on steam forum which got me thinking to try manjaro ^^

From what I’ve heard Intel Arc on Linux has not been a great experience. They’ve focused much more of their efforts on the Windoze drivers and Vulkan performance (which is the most important thing for Proton) is lacking. Apparently some improvements are coming in Mesa 24 - Intel Vulkan drivers on Linux should run more games with Mesa 24.0 | GamingOnLinux
However, none of that explains why you’re having an anti-cheat issue when no-one else on protondb is. I have no idea what could be causing that.
many thing will coming with mesa 24.0
This might not be an issue with Linux/Proton etc. Some Googling for “Gameguard error code 114” suggests that people on Windows are encountering the same error, and it’s being looked into by the developers. There was at least one patch for it, but people are still reporting problems as of the 23rd.
Apparently one estimate is that about 1 in 150 people encounter the error, so it’s rare but not that rare.

Interesting, especially the fact that it happens on Windows too. Those 1 in 150 people aren’t all running Intel Arc gfx by any chance? 
I’ve got no issues on my Win 10. The game works smooth on High/Very High settings (70-90 fps). Neither did I get any issues with Counter-Strike 2 on manjaro. CS2 works here even better than on my win 10 (fps rate is more stable). So I wouldn’t blame intel for the error.
That has changed over the last year. As far as I know (from my own experience and from the internet), the drivers has been significantly improved (on windows and linux as well). And the Anti-cheat thing is very frustrating. I even have reinstalled the whole OS.
Thanks for the information. The future looks promising 
As far as I understood the reports, there wasn’t any conclusion on hardware for the current issues. At launch, it seems that anecdotally it appeared more likely to happen with AMD CPUs, but that should be taken with a pinch of salt as gamers who can’t game are a) salty and b) not the most reliable sources of information. Obviously that doesn’t apply here, though.
One thing that might be worth checking: when installing Steam on Manjaro, there’s “Steam (Runtime)” and “Steam (Native)”. If you’re running “Steam (Native)”, that is very likely to trigger weirdness with things like anti-cheat (as the runtime the anticheat is checking will not be as it expects), so swap to the Runtime version.

Is it possible that you are talking about official repo’s (pre-installed steamversion) and flatpak installation?
When i look at pamac UI i only see a version called: Steam-Native-Runtime 
No; Manjaro has two Steam packages, with the Flatpak version being a third option. In any case, if you’re using steam-native-runtime, this is probably the reason why there’s an issue as that’s linking to system libraries rather than using the official Steam runtime.
The package you should install in Pamac is just steam, and should show up in Pamac’s GUI as “Steam (steam)” - as opposed to the Flatpak version, which is just listed as “Steam”. That will give you an application in your GUI launcher named “Steam (Runtime)”, which should use the official Steam runtime, and might have a bit more luck with anticheat.
