My solution to games not supporting Steam Deck/Linux is to simply not buy/play it. It’s not much but it’s honest work!
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
Sometimes kernel level anti-cheat is good for the consumer, actually.
I was about to relapse and install league of legends, but then vanguard for league was announced, which immediately cured me <3
Definitely not “Crowdstrike tarnished their brand so much because no one understands what kernel level is that no one is going to get kernel level access”
Yeah we’ll see
