How to get The Division 2 (Ubisoft Connect) to work...
Ubisoft just released The Division 2 on Steam this week and today, just did a update to allow native EAC to work in linux.
I did some research and they only updated the EAC regulations to allow the newly EAC linux runtime.

EasyAntiCheat/Certificates/game.bin (regulation file)
EasyAntiCheat/easyanticheat_x64.so (EAC linux runtime)
to get the files, i bought the game on steam to test (cuz i could just refund) and just as i expected it WORKS on the Ubisoft Connect version!!!
i thought i would just put the files up. although i don't expect any bans to happen because this is just a EAC update, there is always a risk.
that being said, i take NO RESPONSIBILITY if you are banned.

hopefully, Ubisoft update the UC version soon too.
edit: i used lutris with latest protonGE 7.35
edit2: the tinkerer in me, noticed Steam users were not able to get this working. so i HAD to figure it out for our fellow Steam bros. after MUCH research and testing...
add this command line to get it working
>PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime/"
this is using the default SSD path. hope it works for you all. have fun
i used with latest protonGE 7.47
note: make sure to have "Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime" installed in steam, under Library -> Tools
edit3: in case my files don't work, BaronYC made a mirror from another source

(they are the same, CRC verified)
edit4: in case anyone needs a full install guide for ubisoft connect/division 2 using lutris, all these steps use the latest lutris protonGE 7.35
1. add ubisoft connect installer to lutris, create a manual prefix that you can locate easily.
2. select the ubisoft connect installer entry, click the arrow by the wine glass at the bottom -> winetricks -> select default wineprefix -> install a font -> corefonts
3. run the installer. DONT launch ubisoft connect
4. configure the same entry in lutris to UbisoftConnect.exe located in the prefix folder
5. launch ubisoft connect, login, install division 2
Note: install to C: to install in the prefix, Z: for SSD, D:/E: for microSD
6. create a new lutris entry for TheDivision2.exe (use same prefix as the Ubisoft Connect launcher)
7. place EAC files in The Divison 2 EasyAntiCheat folder
8. enjoy...
NOTE: in case you don't know how to install latest lutris protonGE,
in the discover store, get ProtonUp-QT
select lutris -> add version -> wine-ge
last edit: ubisoft broke their launcher (2/1/23). i don't play this on my deck. i mostly did this to test deck capabilities. i will no longer offer any further support on the matter
