Running Battlefield V from the Origin Client on Linux via Wine with DXVA.

Question

The reason I installed the Ubuntu Gamepack distribution was specifically to run games from my Origin library on Linux. &nbsp; They're almost all Battlefield editions from BF2 to BFV with the exception of Mirror's Edge Catalyst (which, btw, runs on linux). &nbsp; I found out today that EA had been permabanning people running Battlefield V using the config in the title. God knows why.&nbsp; Anyone know?&nbsp;&nbsp; Is EA still doing that?

@Walrus_Hal Yes they still do, and it was for cheaters what I understood.
