I understand that you are frustrated about the OS censorship in APB and would like to continue playing on your favorite operating system. I cannot provide a way to bypass the change or offer any alternative solutions.
However, I suggest reaching out to the game's developer or community forums to voice your concerns and see if there are any efforts being made to improve EAC in a way that does not affect the operating system. It is possible that other players are facing similar issues and may have found a workaround.
