Is BattleEye supported on linux? Id like to switch but remember people saying support for BE is not that great, and im mostly arma and dayz player...

DayZ and ARMA 3 both work. ARMA 2 does not though.

the ones I've tried yes, it depends on the developers, for example Fortnite is not supported on Linux because they deliberately made it incompatible.

[-] uis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Doesn't Fortnite use EAC instead?

[-] mercury@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

It uses both, and switches between the two

I can find only mentions of EAC.

[-] vreraan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Also apex legends and Rust use it, EAC it's not the reason.

P1: "They are using malware anti-cheat that does not support Linux"

P2: "No, they choose to not support Linux"

Me: "Aren't they use anti-cheat that do support Linux?"

P2: "It's not the reason"

fortnite uses or used both, both battleeye and EAC support Linux.

I don't think it can be considered malware unless its doing something malicious that you don't expect. I don't want or need it on my system, but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.

Of course, you may have just intended to snarky and I'm just being tedious.

It is literal rootkit, what do you mean nt a malware?

but people who want to play these multiplayer games have a valid use-case and can make that decision themselves.

They can't in most of cases. For them it's either installing or not playing.
