To be honest though no part of a video game needs kernel level access to my machine
To be honest though no part of a video game needs kernel level access to my machine
KDevelopers need to get their shit off my computer and start doing this server side like they should have done in the first place
CUnless you're on DOS or something
Pright we can all agree that's part of why windows isn't on the table
Talso the whole point of kernal level access to see any anticheats, is completely negated by a second computer
Pbut u see people just taking that narrative and running with it for stuff like EAC that is literally an impotent process warden
CVideo games have no business overseeing what I have running
CIt's at least a privacy angle
Pyou don't have to worry while you're not on windows
CThankfully
CIt would be amusing to see how Linus would react to Epic reaching out for kernel-level anti-cheat
Twindows copilot be like
Hthe funny bungie game doesn't allow people on linux to play because of cheating concerns, and every new season trials of osiris turns back closer to the same clown show it was on release (that was "protected" with their own anticheat, that'd also not allow linux users in)
Palso i've been screaming this from the rooftops for years at this point. anticheats are a waste of time if your game is so architecturally broken that cheaters can fucking noclip.
Hlike idk how to actually take battleye seriously
CLeague of Legends doesn't run on Linux anymore due to Vanguard
Tisnt eac also one of the worst in actually catching cheaters or am i thinking of something else
Tyea
CLinux feature
PEAC doesn't do shit so ofc it's the "worst" at catching cheaters
COnly big OS not to run League of Legends
Pthese anticheats are specifically just to cover other deficiencies in the game code
CSells itself
Ti wanted to try getting a windows to go usb stick just for that and the occasional anticheat game, but windows to go was deprecated years ago
Pthat would lead to more severe exploits
Pso EAC keeps a watch on your memory instead of relying on your programmers to not fucking suck
HEAC is actually just software to display a pretty banner while the game is loading
Pit's a band-aid solution
Tgame devs need more time to work on games, not less time to meet early deadlines
P^
Pand less perverse incentive to cut out community action from games
CWell who knows, we're not in the studios
Pif you can't host your own server then you can never truly escape cheaters
CWe don't know how realistic the deadlines were
PTF2 community is looking like a bunch of fucking morons to me rn
Pthey have everything they need to avoid cheaters but they will shit on their game until it dies instead
Twell i mean, games come out worse and worse each year
Hvalve should pull the lever on official servers xd
Twith more and more budget on the photorealism and not the game
Pit's a lose/lose/lose
Hcommunity servers are actually the only sane part of the game at this point
CBut are the deadlines getting tighter or are the developers getting slower?
Pvalve doesn't WANT to stop supporting the game baseline like that
CChivalry 2 has this bizarre setup were you can host your own server - but only through a partner hosting company
CIt's progress I suppose
Ptheir own community is gonna make it happen
KThat's the same system EA had for bad company 2
Pbecause they keep trying to start a war with cheaters
KThank God the server software leaked or that game would actually be dead right now
Plots of games do that shit
