Got greeted with this message today. I've been playing Apex on linux for more than a year. Not sure if this could be related? Is this just me?
I've contested the ban and I'm currently waiting for a response from ea support.
UPDATE : Got an email response from EA today. It's basically a generic message saying that my account was associated with "cheating practices" and so they will not remove the ban.
This is absolutely fucking ridiculous! I've been playing this game since 2020 and have 3K+ hours on record, now this shit happens and there's no recourse ? Fuck this company.
What he did was play on linux. You can have kernel level support for anti cheat on Linux so they look at that and see it as "suspicious" then ban.
Apex does not use kernel level anti cheat. It just uses normal easy anti cheat.
Are you aware that EAC is indeed a kernel level anticheat? Apex 100% does not use a user space anticheat, it is kernel level.
My response is getting downvoted. Even downvotes won't give EAC kernel access on my computer 😂
I can't tell you why, you are entirely correct. The EAC runtime used in Linux doesn't have any kernel access, I misunderstood the context of the conversation when I made my first comment.
