Apex Legends Upheaval update live with EOS Anti-Cheat breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux

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.

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

    Yeah, but they pissed me off by removing all my characters when they enabled cross, gave me the runaround for 2 weeks, Deleted the game and closed my EA account.

    Now I’m happy.
