Devs Announce Faceit Anticheat for BattleBit will be compatible with Linux, Steam Deck
(i.postimg.cc)
Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.
With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

I'm still not buying this game until this is setup and proven working.
Choosing a company for their anti cheat that is aggressively anti Linux as they've been in the past and the level of access they require gives me good reason to not trust them.
Hey that's a fair assessment, I think it's fine to wait and see what this implementation will ultimately look like. We got a confirmation but details are still scant.
You know that counter strike has had first class linux support for many years and you can play it now? This is just about 3rd party matchmaking service.
