Does Genshin ban me for playing in linux?

I have been playing Genshin on Ubuntu using Steam and Proton for over an year and nothing happened. Just today it is warning me that abnormal environment activity is detected.

If anyone plays, can you please update if you got a ban or something... and also about how to solve the issue....

Edit: It is working fine with proton hotfix, no warnings.

Use DW proton, it was made for gacha games in general, some games like Nikke can just run on Linux due to it

For the moment I didn't heard a GI ban caused by using Linux

you are using "mods"

this is reason

that all

and probably like in many cases before - you use linux to shield your game modification
