Has anyone else experienced this issue? It is specific to Linux/Steam Deck—I was able to reproduce it on both my PC and Steam Deck in all Need for Speed games. I can play the game, but I can't invite friends to my group because the EA app displays a "Connection Failed" error. There's nothing I can do—I’ve tried everything, including a fresh install, but nothing works. I think EA has found yet another way to make Linux players even angrier. First, it was kernel-level anti-cheat, and now it's the EA app.
