Linux - Your Account has been disabled

Hello, Creating this thread to basically gather information and to see if this only affects me or not. I've complained in other threads and on X, but figured I should actually make something product...

@PalanorI'm the creator of the Reddit thread that was linked, just commenting to add that I was playing with Linux Mint 22 via Proton Experimental bleeding-edge and sometimes GE, as shown in the post. My account ban simply lists "BAN" with a blank reason, and when asked for what exactly I did I was only given a generic copy pasted answer that I was cheating. This is not the first time Apex Legends has falsely banned Linux players, It goes back to over a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/11gaefo/ea_is_falsely_massbanning_steam_deck_and_linux/

I am also affected by this issue. I explained my case under the Reddit Thread. This has to be an issue with the last patch because I wouldn't have switched to Proton Experimental if game continued to work fine with Proton 9.0.2. Please fix this issue and remove false bans.

Edit : They removed my ban thanks to RSPN_Thieamy from reddit. If you are also affected by this try contacting Thieamy.
