Looking to get my Battlefield fix in and I’ve heard good things. Anyone playing and can give their thoughts?

    Not on Linux sadly plus anti cheat appear to need to root level access but otherwise reviews appear rave…

          yup played hours of it no issues. i did also run the anticheat thing, so maybe that’s also required, and i haven’t played it today, so maybe it broke since then?

            Ty for heads up. Will give it a shot once I am back.

            15 bucks is a risk I am willing to take to scratch that bf itch.

            2042 is garbage :/

              The devs were testing out FACEIT anti-cheat (which won’t work on Linux and also has a bad reputation as a rootkit) a while back but decided to revert back to EAC (which works on Linux) “at this time”. If they do decide to implement FACEIT later on, that would lock all Linux gamers out of the official servers. Apparently the community servers might still run EAC after that and therefore possibly be usable with Linux though.

              So it works on Linux for now but there’s no certainty about the future until the devs unveil their plans further.
