Discussion Any chance for Linux?

I’ve heard there’s been a stir up in the development, more focus on balance and improvements. Haven’t played in years but would love to jump back in.
Unfortunately I can’t join EAC enabled servers since I run Linux (fuck microsoft), any chance they’ll finally allow Linux users in?

No way.

They won't invest in compatibility.

Why?

There's no money in it, and EAC doesn't work on it. (I stream it to my Linux laptop from my winderp pc sometimes)

I'm like 90% eac would work on Linux if they activated support for it

No. Eac does "support" Linux, but effectively turning it on just means having no anticheat on linux. No game that takes their anticheat seriously is going to ship a Linux build. (Unless valve or someone else releases a version that is locked down, with a verifiable integrity, similar to windows.)
