Please add EAC support for Linux (Wine/Proton)

 I guess now that Epic has added support for Wine/Proton to EAC, it would be worthwhile pestering you guys for Steam Deck (and consequently, Linux) support.

  • @Tjafss As far as I know this is not something that is supported nor will it be in some time. They may eventually do so in the future but as of right now there have been no talks of it becoming a thing that I have heard.

  • So now with the steam deck being released, Easy anti cheat, and Battle eye will have optional support for Linux, will apex support it? 
    Bc the only reason i haven't completely switched is bc i like to play games like Apex, and i like it quite a lot.
    And apex runs on Steam with proton, just not Easy anti cheat.
    Would love to see it.

    @The-Ecchi-gamiif you already play the game then what's the point for the developers to do anything?

    I have never played it because I don't maintain a Windows install. With Apex working on Proton I'll start playing and buying hats in Apex instead of Dota. Also seeing that DOOM Eternal runs fine on Steam Deck it would make sense to play Apex on it.

  • I'll buy 100 Apex packs when EAC gets enabled for Linux.

    Please Respawn, Valve put a lot of effort into working with EAC to make it as easy as possible to implement.

  • The only reason I  have Windows installed right now is Apex Legends. After 1000+ hours of playing apex I'm going to install Linux again. Hopefully I will be able to play Apex again, but that all depends on EAC being enabled for Linux players.

    @ldcrafter Thats for the other online version of EAC, with this version they need to dowload the Linux library in the same parent directory as the Windows library. Still pretty easy tho. Hope they do it for the next season realy want to buy some of the new collectebles.
  • YES I WANT TO PLAY ON LINUX
    TITANFALL WORKS
    BATTLEFIELD V WORKS
    SORRY FOR CAPS LOCK!
