The final result we expect is for users to have three options: That said, we will eventually add the AC as an optional component of the main client, and we expect to do so before the general release. These would slow down development over a general client significantly. The AC requires a number of security measures, including custom encryption and protocols, to avoid reverse engineering by cheat developers.The fact that the AC is required to be significantly more intrusive than standard clients, we didn’t want to force players to have that open every time they want to interact with FACEIT.The current focus of the team on this full client is to bring the best possible experience on FACEIT in terms of UI/UX, which is different from the AC team’s goal (to identify and block as many cheats as possible).The main reasons why we decided to work on two separate clients are: This means that if you are using the client you will still need to have the Anti-Cheat client running in the background in order to play AC protected matches. Today we are finally ready to start the private beta of the client and start receiving feedback on how you think we could improve it.įor time being this client is NOT a replacement for the Anti-Cheat. Since then, part of our team has been focused on building a client that could not only replicate the experience on the web, but rather improve upon it. Since we released the Anti-Cheat client at the end of last year many of you have been asking us to build a full client with all the features you can find on the web version of FACEIT. Over the coming weeks we will be announcing more of the features mentioned above, as well as a few new things that we believe will drastically improve your experience on FACEIT! FACEIT Client Private Beta The first tangible result of all these different refactors is the release of the Full FACEIT client into private beta. It’s been quite some time since the last product update, in fact it’s been the longest gap since summer last year! This is due to the fact that over the last four weeks we have been releasing a lot of fixes and new services that aren’t seen by users, but that were required in order to release what you guys asked for the FACEIT client, championships / team leagues, scrims, and many other things that will be available to everyone over the next few weeks.
