Same,

Received a ban email this morning saying my account was cheating.

Latest version of pop os, proto ge 8-11, gamemode, and latency flex.

Never used any cheats or tools.

      You guys may also want to comment on the original post too, it's still somewhat active: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Linux-players-getting-banned/td-p/12338557/highlight/false/page/18

      It may help to file 1 appeal (just 1 - don't spam, you'll eventually get shadowbanned), linking to these reports. Suggest it's a widespread problem, and ask the representative escalate to someone who can investigate (because they can't/won't). Last time this happened I think someone said the appeal reps just have an anti-cheat portal in front of them, where the portal lists simple/vague statements about what you were banned for, and that's it. They can't do much. But make them aware, and ask them to escalate if possible.

    I'm curious if @Tutur85140 is still banned, since they were using LFX as well. Were you also using R4csu's launch options? Or was anyone else in this thread using these two options? (WARNING: DO NOT USE THESE - POSSIBLE RISK OF BAN):

    DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=49729 DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS=1 %command%

        Just like an update for the morning, I still banned and the trello has not been updated

        Also, there are no words for someone in Respawn/EA side yet about the ones that still banned

        Waiting for answers until the end of the day.
