…no, the issue with typical anticheats like EAC is that some studios simply want to avoid also patching for Linux, and the file system/utilities of wine can trip cheat detection
Incorrect, League of Legends and Valorant both use Riot’s proprietary Vanguard Anticheat. The reason it has to run on startup and won’t work if started afterwards is because it’s a kernel level program.
EAC does also have kernel level capabilities, and in fact conflicts when run at the same time as EAC, but your list is incorrect.
Runescape (both RS3 and OSRS) do not use EAC and cannot tell what programs you have open.
While too many games use Kernel Level anticheats, it isn’t normal or industry standard by any stretch of the imagination and it also doesn’t actually work very well compared to other methods so not only does it not protect you but it makes you more vulnerable.
It does unironically ship with a rootkit as well. Not joking.
IIRC it is still limited to user level perms on Linux
If a game needs you to enter sudo to run then thats a problem… or a desktop theme
Isnt that why you can’t play on Linux anymore? Not granting root?

Iirc no, it’s because of vanguard which is a rootkit
I mostly coming off of EAC which can be configured to run within user perms, but damn vanguard just reads like spyware
Oh, got it.
Yeah there are a few specific flags that Vanguard looks for when it runs, you can easily bypass it by adding some flags to a virtual machine.
Okay I’d say pm me but I like the scraps of mental health I have so maybe don’t.
Nah I’ve given you enough, just search up a video guide on YT.
Thank you for not.
Just like Apex Legends, Fortnite, and RuneScape, among many, many others.
Anything using Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) or Battleye is also using a kernel level anti-cheat.

Every piece of unvetted code (like games) you run makes you vulnerable. This isn’t any different.
It depends what the code has access to is the point.
