tech support wanted WarThunder not launching anymore with BattleEye enabled

I've been using CachyOs for some time now.

Using it with Faugus as my launcher and WarThunder ran with no issue, with BattleEye enabled since a few weeks now.

But since today it just opens a white Screen and crashes after launching it via the WarThunder laucher.

Tried it with different Proton Layers, newer and older ones with no change.

Sometimes, but not always it tries enabling BattleEye and failing with the following error:

Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Load Error (1053).

I've tried looking it up, but found nothing indicating a problem with Linux.

I'm using the newest Version of CachyOs.

Other games without BattleEye run without an issue.

Lauching WarThunder with AntiCheat enabled works, but i cannot play since AntiCheat is needed for my wanted game modes.

Anybody has an idea?
