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.
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.
Want games are holding you back. Between lutris and steam’s proton compatibility I personally haven’t run across much.
