Blocked by anti-cheatSteam Machine: Unsupported

Its anti-cheat (FairFight, EA anticheat) does not permit Linux, so multiplayer won't work regardless of Proton tier. FairFight runs on Linux in 6 other games Sifter tracks — so this is a per-game decision rather than a limit of the anti-cheat.

Valve rates it Unsupported on Steam Machine. Valve marks it Unsupported on SteamOS.
