Battlefield 1 Unplayable on Steam Deck After Latest BattleEye Anti-Cheat Update

    Steam Deck players have run into a frustrating new issue with Battlefield 1 after a recent update to the BattleEye anti-cheat system. The update is meant to strengthen anti-cheat measures but unintentionally made the game unplayable on Valve’s handheld device.

    Reports from the community indicate that Steam Deck users are unable to launch the game due to BattleEye’s compatibility problems with the system. While Battlefield 1 still runs smoothly on standard PCs, Steam Deck owners are left out for now, as the game’s anti-cheat tech is preventing access.

    This setback has left players hoping for a fix soon, with many calling on EA and Valve to address the issue. The Steam Deck has been lauded for its portability and ability to run big AAA titles, but this recent hiccup with Battlefield 1 has dampened the experience for fans who want to enjoy the game on the go.

    As of now, neither EA nor Valve have provided a clear timeline for a solution, but we’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
