In the most recent update, the easyanticheat_x64.so got removed. Because of this the anticheat never loads into the game. The easiest way around this is to go back into the old depot and get the preivous file.

Easiest way to do this is using a tool called DepotDownloader. https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader
This is in the AUR depotdownloader-git. It required dotnet 6
Then run this command in the base directory of apex legends
/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Apex Legends/
echo "easyanticheat_x64.so" > list.txt && depotdownloader -app 1172470 -os Windows -depot 1172471 -manifest 5695517084385880277 -user "USERNAME" -password "PASSWORD" -filelist list.txt -dir . && rm list.txt
Marked in previous tinker note
In the most recent update it removed the easyanticheat_x64.so file in the baes directory. To resolve this you can use the old steam manifest by grabbing the old so file and placing it in the base directory.
