  I like it. If the game is unplayable to everyone then cheaters can’t get in.

    Secure Boot is literally one toggle in the BIOS what are you talking about 😭

      On my linux gaming install it ain’t, its not only quite hard to set up, the current certificates which can be used are said to expire in… 2026? I remember reading that somewhere on here.

  Honestly this isn’t a problem, since it’s simply looking at the checks Secure Boot makes when starting. The issue is still the deep root access. Altho, both BF6 and Cod’s anti-cheat only run when the game is on, so it’s uhh, less bad than something like Riot Vanguard.

  Still terrible, tho.

    Yeah, if the anticheat is ever compromised, I don’t think it’s going to patiently wait until you’re done playing to fuck up your day. So I don’t really see a difference between always-on and sometimes-on kernel anti cheat.

      Yeah I agree they’re both terrible in their own regards, but cheating has become such a profitable industry that I don’t see anything short of government regulations or extremely aggressive anti-cheat solving it.
