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.
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.
This issue happened back in late February into early March this year, with a mixture of mostly desktop Linux players with a few who played on Steam Deck getting banned from Apex Legends.
Various reports have begun appearing across Reddit and a fresh post on the EA Forum with users detailing their bans.
Apex Legends is currently Steam Deck Verified and their Easy Anti-Cheat is supposed to be supported on Linux, so hopefully the bans will once again be overturned.
When you play games with anti-cheat regardless of the support status on Steam Deck and desktop Linux, there’s always the chance even if you’re a legitimate player that you’ll somehow get caught up in a ban wave after doing nothing wrong.
They’ve also merged the original and new forum posts into one and the amount of people mentioning they’ve been banned continues to grow.
