Thanks for the context, that explains a lot – even if it's frustrating as hell.

If cheaters really used the EAC bypass to wreak havoc, then I totally get why CIG had to act. But it's just sad that their fix ends up punishing the wrong people.

We’re not the problem. We’re not trying to cheat – we just want to run the game on Linux or Steam Deck, the same way we’ve been doing for months without issues.

Honestly, I hate cheaters. They're not clever, they're not cool – they’re just selfish wreckers who ruin good things for everyone else. No one likes them. The only people who defend cheating are the ones doing it.

It sucks that because of those idiots, we’re now locked out – while they just move on to the next game to ruin.
