    At this rate, no EA game would be playable on Linux. They are adding kernel anticheat and blocking Linux players to most multiplayer EA titles, even old ones. They are literally robbing us money.

    But thanks for the tool recommendation.

      Microsoft is gonna close off access to their NT kernel, eventually. When that happenes all anticheat will have to be in userspace. I’d imagine at that point all of those games become Linux compatible.

      Yes. And no one should play EA games, because that supports such behaviour. They’re all shit anyway.

      Fingers crossed m$ takes that option away as they’re threatening they might after the crowdstrike debacle.

      Even if it doesn’t happen, all is not lost. Apex Legends for example, does in fact work in proton, meaning Respawn debilarately enabled proton support in their EAC config.

      Battlefield meanwhile, is a complete shit-show I hear.

        I do not trust EA, for example, Leagure of Legends (from Riot) always worked on Linux until some day they decided to implement Vanguard and screw all the Linux player base, so the same thing will happen with Apex Legends.
