Does The Crew 2 run on Linux?
Verdict: No
No. The Crew 2 relies on BattlEye, which does not currently work on Linux, so the game either will not start or will not let you play online.
The Crew 2 is an action and racing game from Ivory Tower, published by Ubisoft, first released on 28 June 2018.
You can play it alone or co-operatively online. Steam lists partial controller support.

What you can do
No version of Linux and no setting can fix this, because the block is on the game's side. Trying to get around anti-cheat can also put your account at risk. If this is a game you play often, keep Windows on that PC, or install Linux beside Windows and restart into Windows to play.
