client did not pass a control in anticheat back-end

[Endriu Graekoh]

this morning game was working, now when I launch the game just spawn an anticheat message saying that the client failed a control in the anticheat back-end (i'm translating from italian)

OS: CachyOS (linux)
launch option: none
proton: tryed 9-11, experimental, native cachyproton, hotfix
no cheat, no third strange app like ds4 pro boost extra hyper noob movment scripts etc...., just the game

[>:)]

Same problem, yesterday game worked just fine

[shrubbypick8]

same here on seam deck. Has anyone got a fix for this??

[Capn Gibbens]

they killed Linux and Steam Deck support in the name of "stopping cheaters"

"ERROR: The client failed an anti-cheat backend check"
also woke up with this issue on Nobara Linux with latest patches for OS, GPU and steam. I've tried the latest Proton Experimental and Proton GE 14/15/16

Just a reminder that support for Linux systems isn't declared by the developer, so there are no guarantees of launching the game and anti-cheat sw on these systems.

Same issue,
Endeavour OS
AMD System

This is ugly. Thanks to the cheaters and money.

Time to uninstall I guess, I literally just created a Discord server this bloody week for local guys to organise to play together, oh well...

"should affect a small amount of players"... Then how will it significantly curb cheating?

"While this will impact a small number of Apex players, we believe the decision will meaningfully reduce instances of cheating in our game."

Please how does that sentence make sense, you will kick all of us Linux users, if we are such a "small number of Apex players", how can kicking us off, "meaningfully reduce instances of cheating in..."

Yeah shots to all the dudes who cheat, you always ruin things.

The playerbase is dropping, and I think even 6% of player could be a lot for apex.
Do they refund our money ?

Lol, these companies won't refund anything, read their T&Cs

Thankfully all I spent was some time...

It won't. All the people celebrating this on x won't notice any difference in their gaming experience.

wow, they could have given some warning or a 1 week notice....
