    Hi @PolluxAU,

    No, there is no need to keep creating threads about this topic as there are already multiple threads discussing it, which have now been merged into one big thread, so everything about this same topic is in one place.

    As we've mentioned a few times in this (long) thread, Linux & Steam Deck (which runs on Linux) are currently not one of the supported platforms for the game. If that changes, you can bet we'll let you know through the Battlefield social channels.

    Continuing to create more posts on the same topic may be considered spam and could have consequences for your AHQ and/or EA account, as per https://answers.ea.com/t5/help/faqpage.

    Thank you.

Welp I doubt bf2042 will get Linux support at all now, since they are implementing their kernel level anticheat into bf2042. 

Sad, as EA has a great opportunity here to create a lot of revenue from steamdeck and Linux desktop users but oh well.

@PolluxAU Yup, I just saw the announcement. What a shame as this will also affect any future EA game to be ever released (regarding Steam Deck / Linux support).

    I think that after they announced the move from EAC to EA Anticheat it is safe to assume that this will NOT make it to any Linux based system.
