As a little PSA word of warning, it seems EA / Respawn have begun another little ban wave or they've tweaked something in their anti-cheat that Linux / Steam Deck players are getting caught in for Apex Legends.

    Breaking: Shit company with shit games using shit strategies is treating their customers like shit. What a surprise.

      EA was cool 30 years ago, but since then it turned into liquid shit.

      My friend and I tried playing it a few times, and the same thing would happen every time: we’d find nobody until its like 5ish groups remaining, and then get beamed before we knew where it came from. It’s probably a skill issue, same thing happened in Warzone except earlier in the game, but we ended up dropping it anyway. Never happens in any other game though.

        The 2 worst things about the game are the lack of a replay feature and no bots in training mode. You never know how you died, can’t observe what you did wrong, analyze your mistakes, nor train against anything remotely human. Only option is get mowed down repeatedly until you get better.

        Amazingly rewarding

      I remember playing it right when it came out and enjoying it, especially with the titanfall movement. I assume it’s changed for the worse?

    If you can, please voice your concerns on Proton DB, Steam Community, the Steam Discord, anywhere you can. The terrible things these companies do must be known everywhere.

    Seems like EA doesn’t want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.

    That’s rOSist… Have they indicated specifically which point of ToS was broken? Did they give any details?

      It seems like there’s a glitch somewhere in their system that is causing these accounts to be inappropriately flagged. EA has enabled EAC support for Linux, so there’s no ToS reason why playing on Linux would get you banned. If they didn’t want Linux players, they could have just disabled the Linux version of EAC.

        It’s possible they want to support Steam Deck without supporting the rest of linux desktop, which would just be… dumb. The Steam Deck, in Valve’s own words, is “just a PC” anyway.

        Considering they unbanned all most of the linux users last time though, this is likely just another mistake.
