Keep the security requirements strict. permalink fedilink source parent [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago I can't tell if this is serious permalink fedilink source parent [–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I am conflicted about this one. I really miss playing Rust (uses EAC).. wish there was a way to toggle the kernel level anticheat when I wanted to play. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] shadowsrayn@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) To my limited knowledge. EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) is Linux compatible, it just has a setting that needs to be toggled by the game devs and pushed out in an update. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Ooops@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) But then developers refuse to support that.

That seems like a extreme risk for not a lot of gain. If nothing else there is a high chance of it being spyware. More likely they would pull a crowdstruck and kill your machine by wiping out the firmware. permalink fedilink source parent [–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago That’s what I’ve read as well. The real kicker is Rust runs better for me on Linux. I’m pretty sure Facepunch heavily funded EAC’s development too. Garry’s kind of a bitter cunt about playing on Linux for whatever reason. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I think more progress around stuff like confidential compute, zero knowledge proofs, or homeographic encryption may provide a better avenue where we can see ways for software manipulation to be caught but without giving total ownership over to some random game. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 point 2 years ago Might as well make an EAC Kernel to replace the Linux kernel at this point. permalink fedilink source parent
