This will open up alot more games for linux play.

 

"In collaboration with @Guy15241after fixing some of our early issues with EAC in Wine, a lot of our testers are getting playable framerates & encouraging results from a range of titles, including Apex Legends, For Honor, Paladins, Cuisine royale, Halo MCC, Rust, Dead By Daylight"

Until EAC pushes an update that breaks it again.

Seems like an odd effort since EAC is already supposedly working on Proton Support, though it has been fairly silent. Considering it is being worked on by a CodeWeavers dev, it may just be valve pushing to expidite the process.

It was mentioned somewhere that EAC also had experimental Proton support, Developers just have to request for a special build. Though that has also gone quite. In a page I follow, there has been mention of some EAC games working in Wine, so its possible that some develoeprs have took advantage of it. My guess is its either fairly unknown or has limitations making it less attractive.

I have a memory bug when trying to run Apex via wine-eac in Lutris. My memory spikes up to the fullest eventually and crashes my computer. When I kill all processes of my user, I get a kernel panic sometimes.
