The same is true both for new games, and updating existing titles with EAC.Īs per the intro paragraph, this change is going to be of great importance for Steam Deck users, to enable Valve's promised wide compatibility with any existing PC/Windows games library. Moreover, Epic says all a developer needs to do to be up and running is click through a few options in the Epic Online Services Developer Portal.
In the case of games on Linux, the latest EAC SDK activates anti-cheat support for Linux via Wine or Proton. Epic says in its news release that it has "extended support to Linux and Mac for developers who maintain full native builds of their games for these platforms". It isn't only used by games on Steam, as I have a couple of Ubisoft games in my UPlay library that implement it too.
If anything, EAC is going to grow in popularity as it was made available for free to all developers this summer. The significance of the announcement is that this popular anti-cheating solution is used by a long list of Steam games, and Valve intends to launch the Steam Deck with every game on this (Linux powered) platform playable from day one. Epic Games, current owners of Easy Anti-Chat ( EAC) technology (it was acquired in 2018), has announced that it has added Linux support.
