People seem oddly optimistic about all of this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution they came up with still wouldn’t work in Linux. I don’t know how exactly they’d do it, but I can imagine some encryption key or hardware nonsense that Linux can’t replicate.
@savvywolf I imagine that they would instead force them to use a certain API that wouldn’t be so easy to replicate on Linux.
Either way, making all the software developers who insist on messing with the kernel on windows, stop, will be a good thing.
Yeah, “kernel level anticheat” has become a bit of buzzword in the competitive game scene and people just think it’s better without really understanding what that means. Microsoft could do one good thing here and begin blocking that shit.
look at the TF2 bot crisis, some people thought (btw I’m so glad I can say thought and not think) that making VAC kernal level would fix it when in reality like 2 employees could’ve fixed a ton of the botting issues
