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.
PenguinJuice, Been looking into this game. Is it any fun?
ryannathans, one of the best games I have played in recent times
pancakesyrupyum, 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.
awkwardparticle, The public audio in BattleBit is a gem of the internet. I can't even describe it.
AlexWIWA, (edited ) I’ll probably stop playing when they switch to that anti cheat
I don’t want any software having kernel permissions.
9tr6gyp3, Not a fan of linux games having specialized support?
AlexWIWA, Not a fan of kernel level anti cheat
9tr6gyp3, As long as its in user space, sb fine. Does this need admin privileges to run?
AlexWIWA, 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, 
Think this is the most important question on this issue I don’t think it will be just user space.
lickmysword, That’s fair, I sometimes enjoy valorant but despise their anti-cheat.
AlexWIWA, Yeah I’m kinda bummed because this is the most fun I’ve had in matchmaking since Halo 3
with_errors, That’s good news! I have friends that keep recommending it, but I was turned off by the lack of Linux support.
Awwab, 
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.
