For anyone playing it on Steam Deck, the devs are going to be adding Face It Anti Cheat which is incompatible with linux devices. And for anyone who needs virtualization for work and other activities, Face It Anti Cheat forces you to turn it off from bios before playing the game.
Man, I don’t use linux or a steam deck, but that seems like a poor choice in the long run. Seems like more people are using linux for gaming all the time.
They said that cheating is way more important to battle than the 1% of gamers on Linux. I can see the point. Epic doesn’t exactly stop it. It’s only a matter of time that cheaters get rampant IMO.
I believe that Linux players just can’t join official servers and they plan to have community servers eventually.
There are already community servers, but at present you don’t earn XP on them. I believe they’ve said that eventually they will change this, but I don’t know the timeline. As long as they get it done before adding Faceit, I think it’d be a perfectly fine compromise.

Thanks, just saved me $15

Wow, I haven’t had this visceral of a “fuck you” reaction to something since Tencent’s anticheat came out.
Well shit.
Yeah, I was going to pick it up, until I saw that.
When are they planning to make the change?
Too bad. I was interesting into the game, but then this is a nogo. Thank you for the warning.
So you could say there’s a catch.
For official servers, they’ve said custom servers will use easy anti cheat so should still work on steam deck.
It’s only if they opt in and also only if you’re ok with not being able to save or keep your progress.
So glad this is top comment here
