Can't Play Battle for Neighborhoodville and Garden Warfare 2 on Linux via Wine

Its just frustrating as this was working then they finally updated the game after years JUST TO BRAKE IT!! 

@x0a_qx The series will not officially run on Linux because of Anticheat. From a development standpoint, there is no way around that. 

As for the team issues, there is no actual PvZ dev team around and has not been one for years. We have teams that work on all kinds of issues, from EA app issues to server issues or when something series breaks. They areN't PvZ-specific teams. This is why there have been no updates in a while unless something significant goes wrong.

There isn't a stand-alone Anticheat team. Different development teams can and do work on many things in the game industry. As of now, the game won't have any planned updates to run on this system at all.

@EA_ShepardI'm commenting here again because my last comment got deleted.

Sorry, but I don't think I understand what is the current state of this issue.

@RSF07asked about the E111000B at 00001D9B error. I did a quick Google search and found out that this error occurs when anti-cheat (intentionally) blocks Linux-Windows compatibility layers (like wine or proton).

So, I understand that you reported to the team as you said before but now you say there is no longer a team? Did they quit after hearing about this or what?

From what I know (and I think I know at least something), this is an anti-cheat issue. Is there no longer a team for EA Anti-Cheat? I don't understand.

Can we please get an update on this?

@RSF07 I am afraid that you don't. Developers don't speak directly with players and there is no longer a development team working on the game.

I just realized I meant to say anti-cheat rather than DRM.

Regardless, how can I get in contact with the developers or at least with someone who can contact them?

@RSF07 That is a bit out of our hands to decide. Community Managers are not a part of the development teams for the games so we cannot really get into what should be able to happen.

Shouldn't Valve's Proton compatibility layer be able to run it? Isn't this more of a DRM issue?

@RSF07 I am afraid at this time the game is not currently supported on Linux. It's been reported to the team but we have no way to validate or support the title on that OS.
