I seem to remember them adding in anti cheat, or something like that on release. I think it didn’t play well with Linux, assuming you were ok with it. I didn’t play though and this is hazy
I've only ever played on Linux and never had any issues with whatever their anti-cheat is.
Edit: me dumb
Battlebit uses EAC. Takes a 5 second web search to find that out.
Wow I’m dumb
They were going to implement "harsher" (read: more invasive) anti-cheat at some point, but it never happened as development stalled. Some say the devs are lazy, but I think it's just the classic feature creep that cripples passion projects with zero oversight. Star Citizen is the highest profile example, although I think the feature creep is part of its appeal to a lot of people. So that might be an imperfect example.
It uses EAC and works fine on Linux.
It's marked as running and using both EAC and faceit here, with hint that FaceIT was working on Linux support: https://areweanticheatyet.com/game/battlebit-remastered
But steamdb is more reliable and only show EAC: https://steamdb.info/app/671860/info/
Never got an issue regarding the AntiCheat system, and ive only play it on linux, so far.
