Darkflow Software and Gaijin Network Ltd have announced their multiplayer online shooter Enlisted will be changing the anti-cheat sometime in the coming days.
Announced in a post on Steam, no particular reason was given on why they're dropping Easy Anti-Cheat and going with BattlEye instead. They're two of the most popular anti-cheat systems with game developers with BattlEye being used in games like DayZ, ARK Survival Evolved, Conan Exiles, Fortnite (that also uses EAC too), The Crew 2, Tarkov, Destiny 2 and so on.
What they said:
Commanders, in the coming days Enlisted will transition to a new anti-cheat software, BattlEye. With its help, we'll be able to combat forbidden modifications even more effectively!
For honest players, nothing will change, just our old anti-cheat software will simply be replaced by BattlEye!
Advantages of the new anti-cheat
BattlEye already protects dozens of different multiplayer shooters. It will be very useful in Enlisted too! It effectively fights against unfair play, working on both server and client side, constantly checking for interference in the game processes. Thus, most hacks are completely blocked from the very beginning.
Everything will happen automatically!
Replacing the protection system will take a little time and will occur during one of the launches of the Enlisted client. Afterwards, you'll be greeted by a new protection system window at the start of the game.
BattlEye will only work while the Enlisted client is running and will not affect your system's performance!
Enlisted has a Native Linux version and is rated Steam Deck Playable, with the verification by Valve done using their Native Linux version too. So with that in mind, it should be fine, especially since BattlEye does have Linux support. However, as with any anti-cheat change, some issues may pop up which hopefully they will fix soon if there are any.
You can buy Enlisted on Steam.
