Is it over for apex ?

From yesterday when i launch the game, i can play a little but i cant finish the party. The game is just crashing..

I can relaunch but recrashing back on desktop.

Is it linked with the EAC ?

Finally over apex for Linux ? Or, are you still able to play and then I should look logs ?

A week ago they made an announcement referring to anti cheat improvements. Today, a couple of friends on Windows noted that the game no longer launched with AutoHotKey enabled (no malicious use cases, just using 60% keyboards) as of last night's minor update.

Since the game is deck verified, I'd expect respawn will resolve this soon enough.
- Maybe the keyboard effectively, i use one like theses, but without AHT,
  ive deleted config files to get default ones too, to be sure,
  
  Today no issue, But as you said, we got a minor updates :D
  
  Perhaps they were looking at people using SnapTap and similar technologies, which were recently banned in CS2.
  
  I feel like analogue / hall effect switches can lend a player a substantial advantage in apex when it comes to strafing. I wonder if they've tried to mitigate that.
I seem to be able to play. But the lack of duos means I pretty much don't want to anymore.
small update - there's been a minor (17.4 MiB) patch to Apex since. Could be worth checking in with it to see if it has resolved linux compat,

Edit - it's working for me on Fedora 40 Workstation. NB that I've never hit the original anticheat issue to begin with, and I use the following launch command to run the game under VKD3D (mostly AoT shader compilation) along with suppressing launch splash screens / videos and presenting Mangohud

mangohud %command% -novid -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

Edit 2 - tested again this morning and still working fine. I think you folks are good to go.
- tested today, no issue for now :)
  
  Glad to hear it!
So sad that they didn't fix the AC until the game had been around for years, I would've loved to play it in the beginning when the player skill was more varied. Tried to get into it when Linux was allowed but it seemed like mostly the try-hards were still playing. Had some good games but it was a bit too sweaty for my friends at times.

I tried playing it through Wine during season 2 or 3, the game worked flawlessly but you would get kicked after 1-5 minutes due to missing AC.
- maybe you could try to launch it, They made apparently big updates, to remove the using of scripts etc, should be better regarding your post ^^
I have played a fair bit over the past few days via Steam proton on Mint 22 without any issues.
