I been tempted to buy Battlebit and I know it's a great game, but I just wanted to know which is the state of the game to this moment.

It still receive updates? Can I find matches easily? How it's the development?

And, by the way, how is this game compared to Battlefield 2042? I love Battlefield 2042 despite its problem, but something that I simply cannot fight against it's the fact that the game does not run on Linux because of their anticheat...

I’m using steam flatpak on debian 12. I tried using different versions of proton as well as protonGE.

Battlebit opens up and shows a black screen then automatically closes.

Any tips on how to fix this are welcome.

This might be overlooked, given all the great changes. But personally love that the update news window now only shows up once. It was sooo annoying before.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Our latest update brings a wealth of changes to improve your time in BattleBit Remastered. While some may seem overdue, it was very important to us that we take our time with aspects that may alter the core gameplay. We poured over all of your feedback constantly, to provide what we hope you will find as healthy additions to the game. In short, you can expect faster progression, an additional healing method available to all classes, TWO new map reworks and further polish/bug fixes. We've also made major progress with our Community Server API and will expand our testing as we lead up to a larger rollout of access.

v2.0.0 Patch Notes

GENERAL PLAYER UI / UX

• Game will no longer auto lock squads when a party member reserves a squad for their party to join, instead, a non party member will be forced change squad (with their role) if the reserved party squad is full while a party member is joining to server.
• Improved detection for targeting downed players to bandage/revive.
• A bug where player's armors & body does not sync when player is standing still and client loads their object for first time until they move - fixed.
• When a player shoots at a mine/C4/claymore, the shooter will take ownership for the explosion, as if they owned the mine/C4/claymore. Previously, ownership remained with the person who deployed the mine, even when someone else shot at it. This led to instances where shooting a friend's claymore/mine would kill them.
• Players will no longer be allowed to place mine/claymore under water

PROGRESSION/XP IMPROVEMENTS

• Progression curve will ease after level 15 to keep consistent time to level up.
• This is intended to decrease the time commitment and XP required to reach level 200 on average.

CLANS

• Clan submissions will open with requirements of minimum Prestige 1.
• Used clan invites persisting once used from clan invite list has been fixed.
• The issue where the 100 clan invite limitation included expired invites has been fixed.

UNIVERSAL HEALING

After a long discussion, it's apparent that the medic is the only class capable of enduring more than one fight. Other classes cannot survive a second fight after being shot. Consequently, making other classes very unpleasant to use, in response, the following change has been implemented:

• Bandages now apply self-heal, even when bleeding, gaining +40 HP for each bandage used. This applies to all classes.

• You cannot heal other players by bandaging, it remains the same as before, you can only stop bleeding or revive, but it will not heal them, only the Medic can heal OTHER players with their Medkit Gadget.

• Community API - admin will also get a callback when a player reports another player in their server.
• Community API - callbacks when player is alive / dead and access if they are alive or not.
• Backend client API fix where backend becomes unresponsive time to time.

I noticed quite a bit of people not knowing you can opt out of the dead voice chat recording (where it transmits your mic audio when you die for a couple of seconds).

When I installed the game there was a prompt that asked for an opt-in, that was pretty short to read.

Do you think people automatically click "I consent" or is the prompt not very clear?

Patch Notes

Party Codes

• New feature that enables players to join parties without adding each other as Steam Friends

Report Player Shortcut

• Left Shift + F1/2/3/4, etc will bring up the report menu for the respective player, without having to go to the scoreboard. This makes it easier to report players for abusive behavior, or other inappropriate conduct

Stat-Sync Protection

• A rare case has been fixed where a player's progress would reset if they joined a game server while the player stats servers were being updated. This happened because the game server would receive the player's stats as level 0, which would reset the player's progress.
  • To fix this, the game server will now no longer let a player join if it fails to fetch their stats. This will prevent players from joining the server with level 0.
  • Additionally, the backend will no longer accept saving stats of a player if their rank is less than it was before. This will help to prevent players from intentionally resetting their progress.

Objective Capture Zones

• Sizes have been reduced to 50%/75% of their original size in some areas. This should improve the user experience in CONQ and FRONTLINE game modes, as it will make it easier to defend objectives and allow your team to spawn on them until the enemy enters the capture zone and triggers the spawn lock. This change will also make it more difficult to hide in one of the many buildings on the map and stay in the enemy objective in order to disable their spawn.

Placed Gadget Persistence

• Players will now be limited in the amount of C4s, mines, claymores, ammo kits, etc. that they can place at the same time.

  • C4s will be destroyed when a player dies. A maximum of 6 can be placed. If a player tries to place a 7th C4, the first one will be destroyed to maintain a total of 6.
  • Claymores and mines will not be destroyed when a player dies. However, only 4 can be placed at a time. If a player tries to place a 5th claymore or mine, the first one will be destroyed to ensure that there are only 4 at a time.

• Domination: Reviving players will no longer return tickets.

• Eduardovo: CONQ 32v32 received a unique layout that is separate from the 127v127 playable area.

• Salhan: RU Border has been extended on the west side (Cav exit) to make spawn camping more difficult.

• Frugis: The last stage of Rush received changes allowing the attacking team to exit from a subway near the enemy spawn.

• Wakistan: Domination 32v32 layout will now feature an east coast line layout. The old layout will be moved to 16v16

• The number of players in enemy vehicles will no longer be shown on the map when they are spotted.

• When placing walls, there will be a half-player-size space margin requirement to avoid clipping. This means that there must be at least half the size of a player between the wall and any other object, such as another wall or a player. This is to prevent the wall from clipping through other objects, which can cause visual and gameplay issues.

• Fixed an issue where players would not switch to their primary weapon when placing a claymore while throwing a grenade

• Fixed an issue where the friend list would not load until the party menu was hovered over

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to pass the main menu due to avatar images

• Fixed the broken Progress Bar at the bottom of the screen

• A bug where players could sometimes walk during the countdown on Frontline has been fixed.

• Fixed an issue causing players to lag while using the Rappelling Rope

• Spectator camera improved.---

Got this from a post on the alien site. From previous discussion on Lemmy it sounded like Linux users had good things to say about this game but were discouraged about the upcoming FaceIt implementation such that they wouldn't be able to join anticheat enabled matches. Those users and Linux gamers on the fence would probably appreciate hearing this news.

With this announcement on the dev team's community Discord, it appears Linux users will NOT lose access to matches with anticheat.

I heard there was an issue before with DDOS, but sounded like they sorted that out. I've heard players continue saying that it's an issue whenever server lag happens, anyone know if it's still happening?

Just finished my first 3 maps and this game is amazing. The gameplay feels exactly like battlefield 3 and 4, but its better in every way. The graphics are simple, but the game has it were it counts. I haven't delved deep in customization yet, a quick glance made me fear I'd fall in for hours just checking everything out. Can't wait to play again!

What are your thoughts on balancing changes coming?
What do you want buffed / nerfed.

Obviously submachine guns will see some changes. I really don't want to see the medic nerfed. I think we might see a change to spawn vehicles and beacons

They still suck tho, ngl.

I had been on the M4A1 until I recently tried the Groza which seems to slap. The SCAR is also pretty sweet. What are you all using?

The only games I've seriously sniped before in are Overwatch and Team Fortress 2 - which both had hitscan bullets for sniper rifles. Actual bullet drop takes some getting used to, but I'm getting there.
