Yeah. It used EAC. EAC is supported on SteamDeck. They moved away from it.
EOS (which is what it switched to) is also supported on linux. So hopefully this is a temporary problem.
Ah, that’s good to hear.
I know it was a pretty early one to support the deck, but games like CS;GO supported Linux for many years before the proton was a thing.
I guess that's one way to announce End Of Service.
Yeah, but they pissed me off by removing all my characters when they enabled cross, gave me the runaround for 2 weeks, Deleted the game and closed my EA account.
Now I'm happy.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Respawn and EA have today released a major update for the popular battle royale shooter Apex Legends, which gives it an anti-cheat upgrade.
Sadly it's causing issues for Steam Deck / Linux players.
Previously Apex Legends was using the older standalone Easy Anti-Cheat, but they've now upgraded to the EOS (Epic Online Services) version of it.
Everyone seems to be having the same issue on Linux / Steam Deck now with any Proton version, the game will just not run.
It's likely we'll see a Proton Hotfix update hopefully in the next day or so for it since it's a major Steam Deck Verified title.
As one of the biggest games on Steam, it's a shame Respawn and EA don't give Valve a little time to get ready for their major updates like this.
The original article contains 226 words, the summary contains 134 words. Saved 41%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
And that's why Proton is a stop gap and native Linux games are superior.
If you switch to Proton Experimental, it works. Says so in the article.
Switching back and forth between stable and experimental versions is not a counter argument to native games being superior.
