It switched from the standalone version of EAC to Epic Online Services anticheat instead, breaking steam deck support in the process.

However, EOS is normally supported on Steam Deck, so this is probably a temporary issue and will hopefully be resolved by either Valve or Respawn/Epic. We'll just have to wait and see.

Edit: this is reportedly now fixed on proton experimental

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Respawn and EA have today released a major update for the popular battle royale shooter Apex Legends, which gives it an anti-cheat upgrade.

Sadly it's causing issues for Steam Deck / Linux players.

Previously Apex Legends was using the older standalone Easy Anti-Cheat, but they've now upgraded to the EOS (Epic Online Services) version of it.

Everyone seems to be having the same issue on Linux / Steam Deck now with any Proton version, the game will just not run.

It's likely we'll see a Proton Hotfix update hopefully in the next day or so for it since it's a major Steam Deck Verified title.

As one of the biggest games on Steam, it's a shame Respawn and EA don't give Valve a little time to get ready for their major updates like this.
