They have an internal proton build that they're testing the anticheat stuff on.. They are aiming to bring it out before steam deck is released. (which would be helpful for bug fixes in advance of the launch).
@LeJimster great news! so hopefully before the end of the year :) my son is really desiring this game :P
is anticheat now available? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Easy-Anti-Cheat-Linux
I'm happy to hear that Proton 7 is now released, but it seems still EAC is not enabled in this game as I've just tried and got the same EAC error https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Proton-7.0-Released

Symptoms
Reproduction
use an ubuntu based OS use commands DXVK_HUD=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% should come up with the direct x error -->
if PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 is used it causes this problem. my issue is no longer relevant. the easy anticheat problem still remains. game boots but with performance issues
The game is now broken due to easy anticheat. It worked but after a reinstall which also caused the switch from Origin to the new EA Player launcher the game complains about failed EAC.
The game is now broken due to easy anticheat. It worked but after a reinstall which also caused the switch from Origin to the new EA Player launcher the game complains about failed EAC.
And now its perma borked due to ea kernel level malware.
Is this still possible to solve?
I'm afraid not, since they switched this game to EA Anti-Cheat from Easy Anti-Cheat
Can confirm the error and the fact that adding EA Anti Cheat is the issue. But it appears that they're still using Easy Anti-Cheat, and that it seems to me that EA Anti Cheat itself uses Easy Anti-Cheat. The file "EAAntiCheat.Installer.Tool.exe" directly contains the Easy Anti-Cheat installer, so it seems to me to be a dependency.
I'm also wondering if support for games using this Anti Cheat may be possible, since other Anti Cheats that I thought were also kernel-level appear to be supported by Proton (though I may be mistaken).
