Halo: The Master Chief Collection multiplayer seems broken on Steam Deck

After a recent update Halo: The Master Chief Collection seems to have broken online play support for Steam Deck due to Easy Anti-Cheat.

Achievements get disabled without EAC as well, so it affects campaign players too.

I had this problem on both my desktop (running Steam on Silverblue) and Steam Deck...

And found a solution:

Remove the prefix. Launch again and it'll build a new prefix and it'll work again.

This fixed it on my desktop and Steam Deck. Protontricks can find the prefix.

It feels like they usually goof up these Halo updates. 🫤

My wild guess is that it needs a newer version of something (probably EAC?) and it isn't updated? But redoing the prefix sets up the latest version? 🤷

Oh, weird!

I wonder why that did the trick for me on my desktop and Deck, and it also worked for a friend of mine on his Deck too... and why it didn't work for you. 😔

But this isn't the first time Halo has had a buggy update. Hopefully they'll fix this one soon, properly.
