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.

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.

I hope so. A user mode unprivileged software part on the client would be OK, too.
