Recent inclusion of EA's kernel-level anti-cheat made it no longer work on Steam Deck. Was enjoyable but I can no longer play it. Thanks Elise

wonderful game, although it feels like ea is doing everything in their power to ruin it

The game won't start.
This is a review of EA games more than anything.

They force you to download their launcher.
You log in on it once.

Then you press play on Battlefield 1, it once again prompts you to log again with your EA credentials to play the game while you're logged in on their launcher, except this time the same credentials don't work.
So you have to do a google search to find out that they expired so you need to reset them. All while you can log in on the web or on their launcher, BUT NOT ON THE GAME.

Reset a new password. All good.
Launching the game.
It says launching game and preparing game, then it just dissapears and nothing happens. THE GAME WON'T LAUNCH
