I think Helldivers 2 uses EAC and it works on Proton just fine.
Helldivers uses nProtect not EAC but yes, EAC in general is compatible with Proton. The Finals use to run EAC for the longest and Arc Raiders currently uses it and both those games run well.
Does Deep Rock Galactic or maybe Marvel Rivals use EAC? I could've sworn I've seen pop-ups mention it and those are the three games I've played on Linux. But also, memories are bad, constructed memories happen, yadda yadda.
I thought Deep Rock Galactic was PvE anyway
It is. That's just the only game I've played lately that may have had an anti cheat splash.
Neither of those use EAC. I think Rivals uses some NetEase anti cheat and DRG doesn't use anti cheat at all. Lots of games nowadays have pop ups so I don't blame you for misremembering.
