Good News! EA Is Expanding Its Anti-Cheat to ARM64, and Linux Could Be Next

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.
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?”.
