Steam AppID of the game: 3405690

System Information

GPU: AMD Barcelo (AMD/ATI)
Video driver version: Mesa 25.0.7-2~bpo12+1

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.

Symptoms

EA SPORTS FC™ 26 installs successfully through Steam using Proton Experimental on Linux.

However, when I click Play, the EA App opens and immediately displays an error message (see attached screenshot). The game never launches.

Steam Support directed me to report this issue to the Proton GitHub issue tracker because the issue appears to be related to Steam Play (Proton).

If you have read the error message, it says Wine, Proton and Steam Deck are not supported. The game simply doesn't support linux operating system because of the kernel level anti-cheat. This is not a bug.

For future games, you can check ProtonDB to see if they are playable on Linux. Here's the FC26 report: https://www.protondb.com/app/3405690

No, because this is not an issue per se. Developers just don't want Linux users to play the game. Simple as that. So unless EA Games suddenly decide to allow Linux, which I doubt they will, it will remain unplayable.

So I have to install windows? It is possible to install windows and stay
which linux?
