Re: Latest update breaks game through Wine Linux compatibility layer

Just writing to share my support for Linux!  From all reports,  EAC is  the major blocker at current, making the game nigh unplayable.     Given that Apex Legends is one of the higher profile titles that uses Easy AntiCheat, it would be nice if Respawn could work with or request the EAC developers to properly support Linux, including play via Wine and Proton.


While I'd love to see Apex natively ported to Linux, I don't hold my breath given EA's unfortunate lack of interest.  However, if the games can at least be tested with Wine and Proton  that would make it the most Linux-friendly and least objectionable of the major Battle Royale type titles around,  attracting many players.    Reports from users  of WINE / Proton show that the game itself renders well and has good performance under Wine (+ Winetricks, DXVK etc, or Proton,  making it very playable save for the EAC issue.  Dedicating some resources to investigating  the problems and finding solutions would be much appreciated. 


Thank you.
