Additional comments

Anti Cheat Expert seems to be specifically checking for the Steam Deck's hardware and refuses to run under Wine under any other circumstance. The game cannot even be installed, as the launcher runs the anti-cheat partway through the download, which is interrupted if the checks fail. This behavior appears consistent with other recent games that use Anti Cheat Expert.
