I can confirm EAC boots up and the main menu (or rather the “Playtest not live yet” thingy) is visible, so I’m positive they enabled Linux EAC. However it sounds like they don’t have QA set up for Proton-on-Linux yet so they simply do not know if it will work out.
So… it’s not supported, but might just work good enough.
Yeah same. I received an invite (didn’t preorder) for the closed beta and booted it up earlier just fine before I realized it doesn’t actually start until tomorrow. Oh well, still definitely curious for a non-EA/Activision alternative.
Good to know. I was expecting it to not work with their AC yet. Honestly, I don’t care that much if it is officially supported, as long as it runs. I’d like official support, but most games don’t officially support Linux and they work fine.
So it works but they don’t have a process in place to ensure it works. That doesn’t meet their standard for official support and so they retracted their claim that they support Linux via Proton. But they also made clear that they plan on getting that process in place.
They don’t have to support linux, just don’t block us via anti cheat. Their response isn’t clear whether or not we can play it.

That’s honestly the best possible position.
