EAC stuck on "Initialize"

[NoksC]

Describe the bug

When launching a game that require EAC ( Easy Anti-Cheat ) get stuck on EAC splash screen "initialize".

To Reproduce

Install and try to launch "Insurgency Sandstorm" for exemple. Then you get stuck when you launch the game on the EAC splash screen.

Expected behavior

EAC load fine, the game launch fine, and the online is playable.

Environment

Ubuntu 23.04 Under wayland with AMD GPU. Can't see nothing in terminal could explain that.

Additional Context

This same game with EAC work well on the regular Steam deb version.

I'm having the same issue with Elden Ring and New World. No feedback, it just never finishes launching

[HandsomeSimon]

I've also seen this issue with BattleBit Remastered.
Are these any logs that we can collect for this? Running Steam from the Terminal doesn't seem to display anything useful

Same happens for Brawlhalla, work-around is to start the game with the -noeac command line option.

[ErickLandowski]

Happens to me as well with Battlebit and Armored Core 6. Both games use EAC.

[AussieAnon]

Same issue here. Problems with all my EAC games like Battlebit, 7 days to die etc etc. Hope this gets fixed soon

[ashuntu]

I can reproduce with Insurgency Sandstorm and Elden Ring (#26). However, Apex Legends uses EAC and works perfectly for me. I'd imagine this is dependent on however the game uses/implements EAC, as I don't think it impacts EAC in every case.

Edit: Also an issue with Multiversus (#49)

The same: Ubuntu, Hunt Showdown

Anti-cheat specific but the same anti-cheat with the same game work well on deb and flatpak steam version.

What's the point to make a snap if isn't for, at least, have the same experience we have on the deb package ?. You deleted the "Working well on the deb version" of my title but its the reality ...

[ashuntu]

It's assumed that every issue in this repository affects the Snap only (or is something the Snap can provide/fix itself), I removed that part of the title to simplify it for readability’s sake. Sorry if doing that was misleading, concise titles and labels just make issues easier to find and track

[ashuntu]

If not already, this may work now with 2.64 snapd. You can try by refreshing snapd with snap refresh snapd --edge (and restarting). Make sure to go back to stable after testing with snap refresh snapd --stable.

Yes, confirmed. Brawlhalla with EAC enabled works with snapd refreshed at edge version 👍🏻
