Linux players getting banned
Edit: Looks like they fixed the issue causing the bans. Edit 2: EA is reversing bans and sending out emails letting you know. Yay! Hello, I believe myself and a few others got banned for just playi...
Got banned for using Linux as well. Posted a couple days ago on Reddit, Sent a dispute through their email webform. And just got my dispute email back with the same canned copy and paste nonsense.
My System:
OS: Arch Linux
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600
Memory: 16GB DDR4
Packages (at the time of the ban):
linux - 6.4.10-arch1-1
mesa - 1:23.1.5-1
vulkan-radeon - 1:23.1.5-1
proton-ge-custom-bin (AUR) - 1:GE_Proton8_11-1
mangohud - 0.6.9.1-9
gamemode - 1.7-1
I got the automated response this morning ... pretty much the same as others have gotten.
I reopened the case, can community mods help please.

I doubt there will be a help from them.
For the whole EA, communication about this problem seems to be a unfeasible task.
I have sent my third appeal with another rejection with the same response. I hope this issue can get solved, I just wanna play haha.
It won't. I was banned during the first waveXD
Update, moving all the Imgur images with the cases and adding the most information as possible in a new Google Doc
I added most of the users from the ea thread, since is their EA account, added the ones from Reddit that give the specific user too, anyway, if you are not on the list, or you want to add any useful information to the doc let me know.

I'd like you to add me to that list aswell.
Like a lot of other people I was just playing Apex with a friend of mine, and suddenly I was kicked out and told that I was banned. I've never used any software cheats on my computer, and I don't abuse glitches.
I wasn't banned in the previous ban wave (so who knows what's triggering this).
OS: Fedora 38 with Gnome
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Proton 8.0-3
Launch options: __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=<path> __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=<size> gamemoderun %command%
I would like to be added to the list.
I was banned on August 18, 2023.
My ban ticket does not give a reason for the ban, and I submitted two un-ban requests that were both declined.
OS: Manjaro Linux
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
GPU: AMD Radeon™ RX 6600
Proton Version: 7.0-6
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC
I appreciate what you're doing here, and hope to be un-banned soon.
Added!
Hey. Try to make a post in twitter with @RSPN_Hideouts . He might help us. @RacsuChile
RSPN Hideouts is part of the ban team or some stuff like working in the anticheat, in his discord that is very clear.
He can't really do much about this situation for what they explain in the rules of the discord, so I don't wanna disturbing him.
I know that a lot of us are feeling bad or anxious for this situation, but lets keeping everything as polite and organized as possible
I'm expecting some updates this week and at least one person getting unbanned, I'm going to keep adding all the cases in the doc as possible

I decided to tag a community manager that answer this post and move it to part of the EA team last time.
Hopefully we can get some type of answer here since we got zero real communication from EA side or from an actual worker…
Linking the doc with the useful links, explanations, and cases:

I have gotten my second email regarding my false ban.
Hello,
We have received your most recent correspondence expressing concerns about the action that was taken on your account.
After thoroughly investigating your account and concern, we again found that we actioned your account correctly after it was found to have violated our User Agreement. We will also be unable to provide any details regarding our internal procedures.
Due to this violation, we will not remove the sanction that was applied to your account.
You can review the full User Agreement at http://tos.ea.com/legalapp/WEBTERMS/US/en/PC/
After completing two full investigations into your complaint, we consider this matter closed.
Please don’t reply to this email, as it won’t reach a monitored mailbox. If you need more help, you can set up a new case from our website:
https://help.ea.com/contact-us/?product=ea-app&platform=pc&category=manage-my-account&issue=cant-log-in&isContactForm=true
I do not know if I will ever get unbanned at this point. I would love to be unbanned and that this issue would be fixed asap. I get that it takes time but I have been left nothing else to do other than keep sending correction emails about my ban through their my bans tab.

For some reason, my new comments tagging another community manager don't appear?
Anyway, got the bot answer almost at the same time as well.
"Hello,
We received your latest message regarding the action taken on your account. We have performed all investigations possible on this issue and will not reverse the decision.
Please do not expect further responses on this matter."
Don't waste your time sending emails, they are not reading them, and you can get shadow-banned from support.
I'm looking to see if I tag people that can redirect the case, help is appreciated…

"Don't waste your time sending emails, they are not reading them" I totally agree with you.
At this point I don't even want to appeal the ban since they seem to be autoclosing any appeal request, saying that they have concluded their "investigations".
