I dual boot with win 11, I do so for programming purposes, not gaming. I read online that the game straight up blocks Linux on all fronts (typical EA). So, I booted into win 11 and launched the beta. It still refused to start and complained that secure boot was "disabled". Booted into BIOS and it was enabled, but not active. I had to reset the keys to the windows default keys to be able to play this game. This is a no go for me. Not giving them my money until they stop this bullshit. Just wanted to let everyone know the situation so far.

I hope Battlebit Remastered gets popular again. I suppose it's tough to make it as an indie multiplayer video game dev. Everyone expects regular frequent updates

Apparently the game didn't get an update in 1+ years.

Yep, seems they are trying to push a big update but that the playerbase is a fraction of what it once was due to the lack of updates.

I still love Battlebit, it's the closet thing to a real Battlefield game we've have in a long time.

But sadly devs took the money and ran....

Game hasn't been updated in 19 months.

They did not take the money and run. From my understanding, it just ended up with everything they're working on being tied to some critical update, and making it effectively impossible for them to update the existing version of the game until it's out. It was bad version control management, but not malice.

I hope so. It should have been communicated tho, because most people know think that they have just left

I saw occasional news about progress on a big update someday. Any indie multiplayer has to make it easy from day one for user created content. Maps, server hosting files that's has some easy to configure parameters for fun casual servers like servers that enable model swap outs, skins, etc.

Just looked, still 8000 people playing original counter strike

There's a big overhaul update that got teased after over a year of radio silence, fingers crossed that it comes out soon!
