unless you've seen otherwise, I would rely on this indicating that EAC support in Linux has been denied

No way to officially they'll support this? Like it all works, everything is fine untill I do co op, and EAC games worked for me before, why is this one specifically no?

I really doubt it. It's up to Ubisoft EAC is a per-developer/game decision

They just decide for each one if they support it or not? like it's not a technical gap just they don't want to?

each developer can choose if they want to enable Linux support or not

To make it easy for developers to ship their games across PC platforms, support for the Wine and Proton compatibility layers on Linux is included. Starting with the latest SDK release, developers can activate anti-cheat support for Linux via Wine or Proton with just a few clicks in the Epic Online Services Developer Portal.

See then this means eAC should work for linux, but ubisoft just opted out specifically for that game and not for the newer one, breakpoint?

according to this, Breakpoint uses Battleye which also has Linux compatibility but per-dev enabling https://areweanticheatyet.com/game/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint

Has anyone been kicked from coop? If so is there any work around? I'm on the deck, my friends are on the pc and I get kicked every time.
