Anti-cheat that excludes linux players

And for Windows players, this means the game has root access to everything on your machine. I can't imagine desiring to give EA full control of your entire PC.

Dang, I was hoping my PC can handle this.

I was watching a few streamers playing the game, looks amazing but i noticed a lot of the time it seemed the guy had the drop on the other player only to get mowed down by them. Looks smooth not laggy, but something must be going on with packet delay. Probably seeing how much info they can cull to get the game playable with so many people.

Hmmm. The streamers all play in one location using the same PC setup by the event organizers. Maybe the internet was affected because of all the users streaming from one place?

If it's good and runs on Linux I'll probably get it. I love BF4 and nothing really has played the same.
