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.

Been looking into this game. Is it any fun?

[–] pancakesyrupyum@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s a great game, multiplayer shenanigans with friends.

The public audio is almost entirely people having fun which is a lot more to be said than a lot of other popular online shooters.

The public audio in BattleBit is a gem of the internet. I can't even describe it.

[–] ryannathans@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

one of the best games I have played in recent times

That’s good news! I have friends that keep recommending it, but I was turned off by the lack of Linux support.

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

I don't want any software having kernel permissions.

Not a fan of linux games having specialized support?

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not a fan of kernel level anti cheat

[–] lickmysword@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fair, I sometimes enjoy valorant but despise their anti-cheat.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm kinda bummed because this is the most fun I've had in matchmaking since Halo 3

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As long as its in user space, sb fine. Does this need admin privileges to run?

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

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