Let me guess without reading: kernel-level anti-cheat?

[–] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Nope. They had anti cheat that supported it, but they experienced higher issues with cheating via linux than elsewhere. Which sucks. People who cheat suck.

I'm curious to see how Valve will respond to this seeing as they have CS. I imagine they'd be interested to build a solution but I'm not sure how plausible that even is.

I never understand why when this happens the solution is always "cut off everyone" instead of placing Linux players in a lower trust lobby

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

That would just cause legit Linux players to generate negativity by always being stuck with cheaters. It's way easier to just remove support if it really is most of your cheating problems for such a small player base.

Linux users are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled dicks. /s

[–] visor841@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's EAC, which is kernel level on Windows but not on Linux. I guess they wanted to go full kernel-level anti-cheat.

[–] umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's using EAC which supports Linux.
