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.

    Yeah, looking at the weekly recap stream where they actually talked about it, it is indeed a new anti cheat like you mention that (according to their own statement) is still more effective than “what they have now” (that being eac). https://youtu.be/nIay2Aq2ars?t=702 Apparently they want to do a stream again with the team from Faceit talking about it in more detail.
