    So… You can cheat then.

    Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

      What does compiling your own kernel do that lets anticheat be bypassed?

      Have you read the article? It says it is not a kernel level anti cheat so it DHOULD work on linux but was not speciffially testez with proton.

        No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.
