Re: Linux players getting banned

Had the same issue. Banned from apex last Friday.

As a prestige 700 player with 1600+ hours and multiple heirlooms this is very frustrating given k just switched to Linux haha. I feel the pain of everyone in this thread.

Fedora 37 KDE

Proton-GE

Launch options: -dev mangohud gamemoderun %command% RADV_PERFTEST=gpl

Really hope we all get unbanned <3

    @stillkoyI am sorry but this really isn't the thread for you. If your issue is separate you probably should just try to email EA support in the hopes of a resolution. This thread is designed to bring awareness that there's something going on for people running Linux.

    Oh I see that you have already emailed them multiple times. Sorry but there's not a lot we can do as your issue is clearly separate to the main topic here ☹️

  • bro what do you mean this isn't the right thread for me why are all linux users such arrogant elitist? Hey I was also falsely banned recently and this thread has been gaining a lot of traction so maybe EA staff can reach out to me as well. And what do you mean not a lot we can do? you are just some random person. Please i apologize for my rudeness EA Staff I am just very passionate about the game and i don't know why i was banned. Thanks you.

  • @stillkoy Idk man. I don't really think it's arrogant to desire a thread remain on topic. I get what you're saying don't get me wrong, but it cost you zero dollars to not make that rude * post.
  • @stillkoyWell no it's that this is a forum post for Linux users being banned. I can understand frustration with false bans (assuming this was a false ban, anyways) but you are in the wrong forum post for that.

    Also throwing my hat in the ring here, in case posting here would expidite my personal unban. I've spent a lot of time in this game and the fact that I was banned for no reason because I used my preferred OS is a tragedy. EA auto rejected my appeal.

    I am sorry I insulted your operating system, sincerely. please help  @EA_David  I am sure you all work hard please i love this game!

  • @Jaxseven Hi There! I play on DX11 mostly tho i did try DX12 once or twice a few weeks ago.

    I've been using Proton-GE-7.49, though I may have been using 7.47 or 7.49 at the time of the ban I cant remember which specifically, tho I could check logs if this is helpful.

    I was mostly using Plasma+Wayland at the time of ban, tho I was mostly using X11 up until a couple of weeks ago. I haven't tried Apex with any other D.E and I've been running Fedora 37, though i can think of one occassion when i ran Apex in Arch (also using Plasma 5.26/27).

    my full launch options: -dev -fps_max unlimited mangohud gamemoderun %command% RADV_PERFTEST=gpl
