It's not just 'running under Wine', it's a different anti-cheat with different capabilities and the same name.

It's like comparing Office 2024 Excel on Windows to Excel for iPad. They're both called Excel, and share basic features, but once you start using features like VBA, it will not run on iPad Excel.

Also does it even work in Wine? Last I checked EAC only worked in Proton with the env variable to enable it being PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME
