I'm about to set a dual boot system and, ideally, make linux my daily driver. Is anyone else running my favorite game on linux and can share knowledge/experience?

I started playing this game three days ago, and I've been having a lot of fun mostly. The matchmaking is however now making me miserable.

Today I've played four matches of world tour, and gotten absolutely decimated every match. I feel like I have no chance vs the other teams since every other player in the match seems to be level 80+ with thousands of eliminations and wins, while I'm level 16 with double digit eliminations and single digit wins.

I know it's a skill issue, but it feels bad to get absolutely stomped all the time, and I feel like I have no chance to improve.

Just needed to rant for a bit.

Nice to see them addressing (albeit not quite fixing) the recoil issues right away.

I think the big thing is another nerf to nukes:

Gravity and physics have been enabled on Red Canisters with attachments

Valentine's Day special event is nice, get to grab more cosmetics.

Getting rid of solo bank it for now, replacing it with another event where everyone has the same loadout. Sounds interesting though if you don't like heavy, then it might be your thing.

Biggest news, though, is the nerfing of Recon Senses - shorter range, and detected enemies are informed (like the sonar grenade). Seems reasonable to me.

Hey, it's free, I'll take it.

Not thrilled about the FCAR nerf.

Hotfix 1.5.1

Hotfix 1.5.1 will address the bugs introduced by Update 1.5.0. Thank you to our community of players for helping us to identify these issues swiftly so we could get them patched up!

Read through the changelist below:

Fixed a bug that caused some weapons to apply bullet dispersion/spread/bloom when fired while aiming down sights.

Fixed an issue where the Solo Bank It progress bar would show an incorrect value after a deposit.

Fixed an issue specific to new Steam accounts that could cause them to not be able to log in to the game and would provide a TFLA0002 error.

Fixed an issue where item unlock animations would sometimes not show after the player made a purchase.

Fixed a crash in the raytracing code.

Fixed a crash that could happen during startup.

Reset the controller zoom sensitivity setting back to the default value.

Welcome to Update 1.5

Today we are introducing our very first limited-time mode (LTM): Solo Bank It!

This experimental twist on Bank It pits contestants against each other in a fight for individual glory in a 12-player arena. Just like Bank It, the first to amass 40,000 and deposit in the cash-out station wins. Solo queuers, rejoice!

We’re putting this mode out there to learn more about your experience, so we’ll open a channel in Discord to gather feedback for as long as the mode stays up.

Outside the new mode, Update 1.5.0 comes with a litany of balance changes, tweaks, and bug fixes — all laid out below — to help improve the overall experience.

In addition, with Update 1.5.0 we’re introducing our fair play guidelines, with revamped and improved detection methods for unfair play. From now on, we’ll restrict cheaters with more confidence and will be able to stand firmly behind our bans. Our goal, as always, is to make the game safe, fair, and fun

Finally, we’ve decided to expand the size of our store, with an even bigger and more diverse range of items at any given time.

Looking forward to checking out Solo Bank It!

The idea came to me yesterday when I got killed by one that I saw the enemy drop. It was dumb of me, I should've avoided it but I was in hot pursuit.

Unlike mines/C4 which arguably are stuck via adhesive, it seems like a frag grenade should be something you can pick up (or even catch) and re-throw, especially given the long cook time. I haven't tried it in game though. Does it work? Would it be cool if it did?
