Assist not working
Posted: Sun May 10, 2026 10:23 am
Hi everyone,
I recently switched from Windows to Linux (CachyOS) on a new PC. After some initial stability issues, I did a fresh install and the game has been running smoothly for about two weeks. However, I’ve hit a wall with the Assist function.The Issue:Swift Assist does not work at all.Typing /assist [playername] in the chat box does nothing.I’ve tried custom macros and even a small dedicated addon, but the chat doesn't seem to "send" the target info to the game client.Interestingly: Clicking a player's portrait and manually selecting "Assist" does work, so the game knows how to assist, but it’s not triggering via chat or the launcher's assist tool.
Has anyone encountered this "chat-to-client" disconnect on Linux? It feels like a specific library might still be missing that handles the bridge between the chat commands and the game's targeting system.Any help would be appreciated!
