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...

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 10 months ago

Doesn't Fortnite use EAC instead?

[-] mercury@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

It uses both, and switches between the two

I can find only mentions of EAC.

[-] vreraan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months 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.

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

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.
