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...
I could also join the firing range!
Tested on my Steam Deck. No emails yet and EA's site still shows an active ban, but everyone said that took a while to update last time
Hell yeah!
I can join Firing range and Duo in Pubs, haven't tried anything else.
I'm trying from Windows 10, too scared to try on linux yet.
Edit:
Trios + TDM works aswell!
Edit2:
Gun run + Control + Ranked
All 3 works aswell!

Good job everybody, happy grinding this weekend, you deserve it!
Also big thanks to @RacsuChile for escalating this on reddit + collecting all the infos!

It seems that I have also been unbanned. I was able to put in some practice at the firing range again.
I have been unbanned as well. I spent around 10 minutes in the firing range. I would like to thank @RacsuChile for taking time out of his day to gather all the cases, and I also want to thank Respawn for acknowledging the issue and investigating it. However, I am still worried to play because we haven't received any confirmation from them regarding the resolution of the underlying cause of all this.
Congrats to everyone getting unbanned, sadly seems like I still banned but hopefully this change on the next hour (Hopefully, because if everyone get unbanned except me after all the work I'm burning my pc)
Also thanks to everyone appreciating the time that I take on this.
Hopefully everyone can enjoy the game like before, and again, this could not be possible without you.
With love, Racsu.
Probably I'm not making a post, 1 ban case will not be helpful at all, and I know that most people wouldn't check it, anyway if the situation still the same (at the moment i still banned)
Replying and saying it to the dev here:https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/15uqt7w/comment/jxgwj2m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Is appreciated, this is making me anxious and ruining my day ngl, hopefully I'm wrong.

u have been unbanned, excited to finally start playing again. though I only checked the firing range. @RacsuChile hopefully you can get unbanned. maybe there was more than one issue and they just fixed one of them and are working on the other one.

Still banned in my case, I'm checking it constantly, do you got any mail? if anyone got unbanned and the same time (seems like it) is weird that I'm not, idk
Y'all that got unbanned can probably play without worries, since we didn't get any new reports about bans recently.
The thing now is to wait for EVERYONE to get unbanned (including myself)
I call on all the people who have been unbanned not to forget those of us who are still in the same situation, at the end of all, we managed to get respawn to notice us working together, so we must all go out together, Greetings.

@RacsuChileIt seems that I'm unbanned too
I can enter training field and did a mixtape game without problem.
I really hope your unban will come soon. I left a message in the reddit topic for an unban of your account. It's not a big thing but I hope it will help
I have a theory for why @RacsuChile was banned and hasn't been unbanned. Out of everyone, R4csu was the only user who said they had these two launch options (per R4csu's reddit post):
DXVK_NVAPI_DRIVER_VERSION=49729 DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS=1 %command%
These launch options are directly from the LatencyFlex (LFX) documentation. They are intended for users with AMD GPUs to be able to activate Nvidia Reflex/LFX, since Reflex is greyed-out in Apex's in-game options menu if an Nvidia GPU isn't detected. However, those two launch options aren't needed if you're already using an Nvidia GPU.
I would not be surprised if the game has some sort of "graphics driver integrity check" that is failed when using those launch options, and resulted in R4scu's ban. It would explain why R4csu was banned a few weeks before most of us, and why other LFX users who didn't use those launch options haven't had issues (or at least, any more issues than the rest of us). Although after this fiasco, I'm certainly not going to be the one to test that theory, lol.
If someone from Respawn sees this: LatencyFlex is open-source and offers game-engine integration. If it were integrated directly into Apex, even AMD GPU and Intel GPU users on Windows would have access to Nvidia Reflex's latency-reduction benefits (and if my above theory is true, you'd also avoid a few accidental linux bans). LatencyFlex 2 is also in early access development.
Also @IGORS7999, if you were banned during the first accidental linux banwave, that was 5 months ago. I'm amazed you were falsely banned for that long...
Unbanned, thank you, hope that last for long now :-P
