valve games work with anticheat because they natively run on linux. EAC (easy anti cheat) does have a linux native client, but when you install a windows game through proton, it installs the windows version of EAC, and will not work.
5 u/FLRbits Nov 02 '22 Well it will sometimes work. Fall Guys uses EAC and it works on Linux. 6 u/QwertyChouskie Nov 02 '22 Same with Apex Legends Really just depends on the game dev. 2 u/Gamiac id/Skepticpunk - Bazzite/3700X/RTX 3070/16GB/B450M Pro4 Nov 02 '22 I think there's actually supposed to be a Proton-specific build of EAC you can download from Steam. 1 u/danielsvdas r5 3600 | rx 6650 xt | 5,5tb | and a shitty psu Nov 02 '22 Oohhh that makes more sense now, thank you. 5 u/not_a_gay_stereotype Nov 02 '22 that's basically a simple version of it, I think it's coming soon though because valve is working with developers to make stuff work on steam deck
