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.

    Maybe they target one of those “immutable” distributions to be able to bring invasive anti cheat to Linux. Meaning the same spyware as they develop for Windows based on a closed source, signed, kernel module.

      Immutable and popular are pretty far from each other at the moment, and this coming from someone running kinote now!

      That won’t work since Valve doesn’t want to bake such software into SteamOS.

      My guess is that they’ll use FaceIt AC as a server side component to detect cheaters.
