Javelin, their kernel-level anti-cheat solution, might be heading to Linux.

I may be tempted to buy their new Battlefield game if they'd support Proton/Linux, but that's a big maybe. Probably nothing else.

The only reason I installed windows was to play a few games like this. I otherwise do not use the windows install for anything. Login, play the games, log out, log into Linux and do everything else I would on a computer.

I used to do the same but I stopped dualbooting about a year ago and have been 100% Linux since then. I am not going back to Windows, even for games.

Battlefield is pretty much the only big online game I enjoy anymore, and since I switched legit it's the only game that I haven't been able to play. It'd be great if they can figure out some way to make it work. Cheaters are such a huge problem in battlefield that I understand why they won't bring it to Linux without knowing how to set up an anti-cheat solution. Battlefield 5 was just unplayable because of the constant bots and cheaters.

Such a shame what cheating is doing to the market. Some part of me likes the idea of getting the cheaters outta there, but another is going "hold up, what about Linux?".
