Apex Legends main menu loads but elements, including all text, are missing - Example screenshot attached.

How are you even running the game? I thought they explicitly block Linux nowadays.

Font issues are almost never caused by D3D though, that usually goes wrong way earlier (dwrite/d2d, actual font files, etc).
