FACEIT Client Update & Anticheat Results

Product Update 19 May 2017

Hi All! This week’s release is focused on two things:

An update on the status of the client private beta we announced last week, A long overdue update on the status of the Anti-Cheat and its results so far.

Private Beta Client Update

About a week ago we announced the private beta of the full FACEIT client. Since then we started giving access to a few of you and fixing most of the feedback we got so far. Below you can find a list of new features and bug fixes we released this week.

We will now increase access to the private beta, if you applied you can expect an invite during the weekend!

New Features:

Matches tab now shows full list of ongoing & past matches (including hubs for those of you that already have access to them)

The client now takes focus when a match is found

Added multi-language support

Bug fixing:

Fixed an issue that was bugging the client after losing connection / going into sleep mode. It now resumes properly the connection as soon as you reconnect

Fixed an issue with local files when uninstalling the client

Fixed a number of UI/styling issues on navigation sidebar & login screen

Fixed an issue with in-client notifications linking outside the client

Fixed an issue with the client not being “draggable” in certain cases

Anti-Cheat Stats Update

Over the past few months we have been working really hard to keep improving both the efficacy of the Anti-Cheat client as well as how quickly it can detect and ban cheaters.

While we keep going with this effort, we thought of sharing an update in terms of number of bans and their type since the release at the end of December. You can find below a graph that summarizes the main metrics.

Other / Misc:

Added League icons to the video collections

Fixed counters on the video tabs to always show how many videos have been uploaded

Hope you enjoyed the update. See you on FACEIT!
