Linux players currently cannot play Pokémon TCG Live and we need your support
Greetings Trainers, Devs & TCPi,
I’m a long-time fan of the Pokémon TCG Live platform, and I appreciate the work that’s gone into improving the experience for many players. However, there’s a serious accessibility issue affecting a growing portion of your audience: Linux users are now completely unable to play the game.
Here’s what’s happening:
• Wine/Bottles emulation is broken due to Imperva Error 15. There’s no known workaround, and many in the community have spent months trying everything to fix it.
• Running a Windows VM is inefficient and not viable for most users.
• The mobile version isn’t a proper solution for competitive or extended play—it simply doesn’t scale well on small screens.
The Reddit community has been discussing this issue in depth, and we’re gathering stories from affected players to highlight the demand for a Linux-native client (or at least Proton compatibility).
Full community breakdown here:

We’d really appreciate a response from the dev team or product leads to better understand whether Linux compatibility is on the roadmap—or if there’s anything the community can do to support that effort.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
