EA’s games and many anti cheat games arent able to be ran on Linux. Not because its technically not able to, but officially speaking, many anti cheat just ban Linux outright.
All of EA’s new titles use Javelin anti-cheat. It uses a Windows kernel module, so it’s not possible to run with Wine/Proton.
Given that EA forces users to run what is effectively a rootkit just to play their games, I feel like the only good choice is to stop playing those games altogether. Or, at the very least, compartmentalize your gaming machine and the network it’s on.
Yeah this along with their insistent focus of producing AI slop makes me not even want to look at games from EA. I admittedly haven’t even tried any recent EA games but that has more been due to lack of interest in their recent titles.
So as i started to list out all software on my windows box to check for linux support i cane across a game. HBS battletech 2018, with the battletech advanced mod. Is a overhaul. They have linux instructions but its not a guarantee.
Want games are holding you back. Between lutris and steam’s proton compatibility I personally haven’t run across much.

Shame.
