There has been some controversy in the BattleBit community over the fact that they will implement an anti-cheat that may stop Linux users from playing the game.

Luckily, the developers have confirmed that they will use a new version of the FaceIT anticheat that will still allow Linux/Steam Deck users to keep playing. They will be the first game to implement this feature.

    Thats awesome, it seemed like a good pickup for a FPS fan but the lack of linux support in the future stopped me from looking too much at it.

    I’ll probably stop playing when they switch to that anti cheat

    I don’t want any software having kernel permissions.

            I’m on windows. It is kernel level on windows. I guess I could run it in a Linux vm though considering how light weight the game is

            Think this is the most important question on this issue I don’t think it will be just user space.
