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.

    Every Anti-Cheat that works on Linux (the big one for example EAC and Battleye) only has surface level access and can’t scan your whole PC or act like a rootkit like on shitty Windows. Anything that goes deeper isn’t possible without root permissions and that doesn’t happen on its own with a normal Linux installation.

    This FaceIT “Anti-Cheat” has other problems why it should be avoided.
