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.
