Still getting the same here, as well.
Vanguard Discord is now up, if anyone wants to get info that is where it will be at. It’s already been asked of CCP whether Linux-friendly EAC is in the cards, upvoting is an option if you want to show support for the inquiry:

I just played Vanguard for a good 30 minutes. I’m very lost.
Just like last month, the initial connection was kicked back out due to Anti-cheat and net disconnect. Just simply hit connect again and I was in.
I’ve been bad at FPS for years…but this is sort of like eve … more complicated than most. Very lost.

Glad I checked this thread again. Same. I’m lost too, but I’d rather be lost than out.
Worst part isn’t even being unable to participate – it’s the dang radio silence from CCP and literally every game developer in modern history when asked this question. It’s a really toxic norm not to say “no, we’re not working on this right now, and here’s why,” or even “yeah, we heard you, but we don’t have an answer to that.”
I’m glad something changed for the better; but I’m sad the change happened unannounced, in the dark, and in furtherance of that miserable trope. It feels a bit like being snuck a treat while being shushed.
Not to be ungrateful. I suspect my gratitude and my frustration are respectively meant for different groups of people. Oh, well. Thanks for letting us in. It’s nice.
From a developer standpoint, I can see the desire of limiting complications in a pre-alpha game. A number of bug reports would have to be discounted out of hand, even if they’re valid, because CCP isn’t currently supporting linux and investigating bug reports that turn out to be linux-specific is a waste of dev time. In a pre-alpha playtest, limit the amount of variables to make things as streamlined for the bug shooters as possible.
My OP was made from a player standpoint. It’s a new shiny, I want to enjoy it. I’ve gotten to load up onto a Windows machine a couple times throughout the process, including the current playtest, and try it out; it’s cool! Me likez shineez, gimme moarz.
So how to play Vanguard on steam deck? How to download?
Vanguard isnt playable. Just has playtests when needed.
If you already. Have eve on steamdeck then you should see an option to create a vanguard character. Or not idk it may not be available for steamdeck
