Linux users blocked from playing.

As of the latest season 23 update on Nov. 1st, EA and Respawn have decided that ALL Linux players are cheaters, and you will either not be able to launch the game, or get an immediate ban upon launching. In addition, they keep changing the battle pass in an effort to squeeze as much profit out of their player base as possible. I sincerely hope that nobody playing on Linux has paid any actual money into this game.
EA and Respawn think all Linux users are hackers and cheaters. If you had access before, don't log in again, you might get insta-banned.
Tutorial works flawlessly. Menus are great. Some minor audio degredation in menus. Every texture in the map is static or blocks or torn. Can only see some grasses, ground, or building textures when close up. Anything at range is completely unusable.

Framerate is consistent for about 30-45 minutes, then drops to around 50fps. Not a major issue, if it weren't for the massive frame stutter. It might be rendering 50fps, but I'm only seeing about 20.
No matter what launch options, proton version, or even lack of such, I can't keep the frame rate drop to go away without restarting the game after it happens.
It might be Linux native, but native launch doesn't work. Switch to GE-Proton8-20, and it works great.
The game will launch with any version of Proton, but will not let you into a server until you accept the EULA, which will not prompt on any version of proton except 7.0-6. A lot of reports for this, but none give enough detail. You have to get all the way to the point of attempting to load into a server on Proton7.0-6. Once you are at the character creation screen, you can exit the game and relaunch with a newer proton version. So far, GE-Proton9-10 or Experimental will work just fine.
A lot of the servers that it suggests by default are reporting that they are full. Solution is to just pick one and let it prompt you, then select any one of the alternatives that it suggests.
