After a couple seconds it says, that it can't connect to the server.
Borked
Can install, can start, cannot play as of 26.10.2024
I read recent reviews that the game was working on linux for some time but it got broken again. There is a known EAC bug since 10.10.2024 and the game is starting but I am getting kicked out due to EAC Offline. Tried different proton versions but was not successful.
Still borked
The game starts without any problems, but when you select your character, it gives you the error "EAC offline - Anti cheat client protection not active (NullClient)"
Game boots, but kicked due to EAC issue
You can install the game and boot it up. However, when you go to create a character, you'll get an error mentioning that EAC is offline. The game kicks itself and you're back at your Steam games menu. Real odd considering other EAC games like Apex and Elden Ring run perfect. Hoping the devs look into this.
EAC is not enabled for this game, Idk why other users clame it was
gamescope -W 2560 -H 1080 -r 75 -f -- %command%
Even with EAC runtime installed, with both proton experimental and proton GE you CAN open initial menu (maybe this is why other misleading reports that this game is working) but once you try to select your char to play you will fail to connect the servers because EAC. Game is still completely borked.
Tried different versions of Proton, installed Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime.
After selecting a server, on character creation, game throws an error, "Can not connect to server. Exiting the game. Eac offline." https://imgur.com/a/FFSTtB8
EAC Linux support is disabled in Lost Ark. Recently, it was possibly enabled by default when they updated EAC. It is now off again.
game-performance mangohud %command%
When loading EAC(EasyAntiCheat), a request is made to
https:// modules-cdn.eac-prod.on.epicgames.com/modules/{productid}/{deploymentid}/{win64 or linux64}
For Lost Ark this would be:
You can see for yourself it gets denied
However, checking Throne and Liberty for example(which runs on Linux):
You can see that it works and it opens a download dialog
The log result is
[Windows] [EAC Launcher] [Warn] Could not reach the Easy Anti-Cheat CDN, launching with null client, result code: 506.
In-game this results in an error popup around a minute after selecting a server which will close the game:
"Cannot connect to the server. Exiting the game. [EAC Offline - Anti-cheat client protection not active (NullClient)]
Just set your wine version to latest proton ge version and u should be fine, dont forget the eac proton
Amazon said they're looking into issues with eac because some users are also claiming they're facing issues on windows devices.
Text was very small by default
The game's EAC was updated and steamdeck is now compatible
gamemoderun %command%
Feels like there are some more lagframes than on windows. But otherwise plays at ~100 FPS (capped ingame)
They finally enabled linux compatibility in EAC.
Had to tinker because steam still considers the game as "unplayable on linux" due to anti cheat. As soon as this is updated the game should be install-and-play without real tinkering needed.
I use gamemoderun mostly only for cpu governor switching from powersave to performance. Game also runs with Proton-9.0 instead of experimental.
Easy anti-cheat 106 error as usual
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command%
devs dont care about linux as EAC is literally a toggle to enable linux support
Cuando el juego inicia y sale la imagen del juego cargando, se crashea arrojando el error 106
Roto, Error 106 aun persiste
I feel like i tried everything in my book and nothign worked
winetricks corefonts vcrun2019 dxvk d3dx9 d3dcompiler_47 shell32
i tired everything i could think off and nothing woked i still get the Erorr 106 no matter what
Game fails to launch due to Security 106 Anti-Cheat error.
Game still gives error 106 when launching, even with Proton EAC Runtime
It's just flat out broken, even with tweaks and runtimes.
Doesn't work
Another EAC game not working.
Gives EAC Error 106
Saw the last report was 6 months ago so I installed to give it a try but still no chance...
sill not usable
Game installed fine, on launch EAC loaded, then got the "106: Security module initialization failure"
Thank god the bot numbers are in the hundred thousands while I cant even launch the game bc EAC
Unable to connect to server, after adding .so file.
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command% -force-d3d9
I tried adding the Steam/steamapps/common/Apex Legends/easyanticheat_x64.so file from apex legends to the lost ark folder. But just as @kolAflash had issues after starting the game. I am getting the same error: Server authentication failed. Please try again. [10010]
EAC ERROR:106, still appearing
one month after the last report, and the 106 error still persist
EAC loading bar appears, Lost Ark tries to load but exits after a short while with Error Code 106: Security module initialization failure
AGS still need to add support for EAC on Linux (adding a tick to the checkbox). Until then no tinkering necessary.
still crashes with EAC
EAC 106 issue still crash the game.
EAC
Still unable to get past EAC. 106: security module failure error.
EAC opens and the loading bar fills. Then the game's splash screen shows. Finally the game crashes with "106: Security module initialization failure"
EAC still borked.
Enable it in the config?
EAC still borked
Copied easyanticheat_x64.so into Lost Ark files next to the easyanticheat_x64.dll
Saw last report was 3 months ago, thought I would try again. EAC still borked.
Gets past EAC but hangs at Lost Ark splash screen will hang there on the deck forever, does not display error message. When I close the application I can see an error flash too quickly too read.
Pretty much the same as others have reported
After EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) loading screen, a splash screen shows up, and like 1 minuter after that, I get an error message saying this: "Error 106: Security module initialization failure", I press "Ok" on it and after a few seconds it closes the game.
Supposedly Wine doesn't manage to use TLS 1.2 and that's why the game can't connect to the authentication server.

EAC...
Impossible to start because of EAC
This is terrible to literally not support proton on Steam by the dev & publisher
There's no excuse to not have this game thats on Steam to not work with Proton for users that want to use it on a Linux Desktop or Steamdeck. I don't see the point in blocking us for playing the game. It's not cool and giving me second thoughts to even play this game now. I also include the easyanticheat_x64.so file from New World and the game seems to want to launch Lost Ark, but it just loads the splash screen no error message im guess cause the EAC doesn't have proton runtime enable so it just exit other than that the game would probably work and launch the game, but its the dev that is blocking us literally for us to not play it on Linux.
fixed EAC (partially?), but game won't connect to servers
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command% -force-d3d9
I took a little advice from New World and user Revolve. So I installed Apex Legends and copied
Steam/steamapps/common/Apex Legends/easyanticheat_x64.so
to
Steam/steamapps/common/Lost Ark/Binaries/Win64/EasyAntiCheat/
Additionally I used these launch options:
PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 %command% -force-d3d9
(Used -force-d3d9 only to ensure I won't run into driver issues. But I guess the result wouldn't change without -force-d3d9 on most systems.)
Result: Game starts, but I get an error message dialog blocking the server selection.
Server authentication failed. Please try again.

Searching the WWW reveals that some Windows users might get the same error. So it might be possible that this isn't EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) related. Nevertheless, it can still be an EAC issue!
Some search results suggested turning off IPv6, so I disabled IPv6. Unfortunately that didn't help.
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/*/disable_ipv6
(Disables IPv6 only temporary. After next reboot IPv6 will be back.)
Lost Ark launches to menu, but unable to connect to auth server
gamemoderun %command%
Added the easyanticheat_x64.so from New World PTR in EasyAntiCheat Folder and Installed Apex Legends for EAC Proton Runtime
After using these steps its possible to open up the menu, but not to connect to the servers
