This game has recently come to my attention and it seems to work fine on Linux for now. But apparently the developers have decided to switch from their current anti-cheat (Easy Anti-cheat) to Faceit in the future, which would make it impossible to play on official servers on Linux.
Am I missing something here? I was interested in buying the game, but if they are going to basically disable Linux support in the future, it seems like a bad idea.
Edit: This article is quite helpful. Apparently the developers arent entirely sure about FACEIT either. So we will have to wait and see.
Just requested a refund from VALVe.
Really wish i knew about this before buying the game, had a lot of fun, but i’m not going back to Windows just so i can play battlebit, really regret recommending this game to my friends now…
And for anyone having even a sliver of hope, the devs don’t care about us, we only make about 1,6% of Battlebit’s Player Count and they have already stated that they will implement it in their game and thats non-negotiable.
In the future they might implement linux support again, but as of now, i cannot in good faith recommend a game that restricts players choices and has an intrusive AC like Faceit.
