TCC: The series is rumored to ditch the modern settings and revisit World War 1, but is it really an ideal move?
That's all folks. EA anticheat has now been added into Battlefield V, so it's the end of being able to play it on Steam Deck and other Linux systems.
This joins the likes of Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2: Deluxe Edition, EA SPORTS FC 24, EA SPORTS FIFA 23, Battlefield 2042 and Madden NFL 24 that all have EA's own homegrown anti-cheat that make them simply unplayable on systems running Linux.
Now if you try to run it, you'll be greeted with an error. A shame to see a game that's multiple years old get broken like this and no doubt EA will continue to use their own EA anticheat in future online games. Battlefield 1 is still okay, and Apex Legends is also still running but perhaps it's only a matter of time before EA force it onto those too?

Yes counter cheating that is good but when the ea app on pc is still totally broken and these cheaters are on 2042 same anti cheat this is just putting scotch tape on trumps file cabinet to prevent leaks its nothing more than a stop gap.
I mention ea app as for 4years it was in beta then tossed out with 3 year old issues and i still cant not get the products that i purchased on origin yeah i purchased digital but guess what there is no dvd games on pc anymore.
The rough part of all of this is that for those of us on PC mostly be it Windows or Linux based, the anti-cheat sucks up a lot of resources. It kind of reminds me of the conversation between, security and freedom. Too much of ether is both good if managed well or very bad. We just as gamers keep seeing this pop up over and over again. Wish I had some magic wand to stop cheaters... but I don't... hell we just seen what happened with Apex at a high level event.. getting that kind of access and such is not good... but at the same time. Can anyone, one person provide me an example where Anti Cheat has even like a hit rate above 50? I know I'm pulling numbers out of my ass, but it seems the cheaters beat the systems in place time and time again. Where there is a lock, and a smith to make it. We always will have a thief that breaks it.

So steamdeck might have issues and those out there that are anti kernal drm will get a surprise. Depending on your setup you also might get new issues as i know rgb software likes to fight with easy anti cheat.
Daily Video Game writes: "There is a new digital game sale Amazon is offering for both Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One that heavily discounts several popular titles like GRID Legends, Mass Effect Legendary, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and more for Xbox owners right now!"
I just have a strong feeling we're not getting a WW1 Battlefield. It sounds cool in theory but I feel like DICE would be alienating a lot of their fanbase because a WW1 style Battlefield would play drastically different than basically every previous game if they want to make it somewhat realistic.
I can see WW2, Vietnam, Gulf War, or modern warfare (yawn) since they have a larger sandbox to play with.
If they bring back WW2 with a Battlefield budget and on Frostbite, I'd actually be pretty excited since I've been burnt out of the modern/slightly futuristic trend as of late.
Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and they do WW1. Just not sure how they would be able to pull it off to cater to Battlefield fans and tweek the gameplay to fit the setting at the same time, but that's why I'm currently not a game developer.
Honestly, what I'd love to see is a Battlefield 1944 set during WW2 that gets three major expansions: The Great War (WWI), The Forgotten War (Korea), and the Vietnam War.
They could probably get away with making the Korean war a map pack and the other two full blown expansions like Bad Company 2: Vietnam.
It will appeal to gamers because gamers have been saying they are sick of the "modern warfare" futuristic shooters for years now. It won't appeal to the casual cod players who only buy that every year but they wouldn't like battlefield to begin with since it's always been the better game, shooter, online since the beginning.
I would like World war 1. I'd even enjoyed battlefield 1945 or along the lines of that. I would enjoy World war 2 tho and one of the maps has to be omaha beach.
I'd be okay with a World War I shooter, but I'm personally not a fan of the Battlefield series so I won't be playing this one.
