Aaaand I'm out. Soooo many shitty new games.
Kernel Level Anti-Cheat For Windows Only. Embark specifically publishes a build for Proton Users validated by Codeweavers. We don't have to worry about it :)
This is the same story for The Finals by the way.
Common Linux W
Not as common as one would like
I never suspected it has kernel level anticheat since I’m rocking it for the last 2 days on Bazzite Linux without any hiccups. Great work, Embark!
I believe for Proton users the kernel level anticheat is substituted for a user level anticheat or is deactivated. Only for windows is the kernel level anticheat utilized.
Yep. Honestly if someone still uses Windows but complains about kernel level anti-cheat they’re hypocrites and only have themselves to blame. If you want sovereignty as a PC user you have to put in the minimum effort and not just sit on your ass and wait until big corp is spoon feeding it to you. That day won‘t come.
Oh interesting...
Its soooo good. I was pleasantly surprised to see he anti cheat work during the server play test. I've barely been able to put it down.
Even if you're a solo player, it tries to priorize you being with other solos, and generally players are friendly if you express that you are as well.
Just be careful for the 3 player squads who will say friendly then turn on you when your back is to them.
Trust gamers.... in an online extraction shooter... lol U fukin wot, m8????
It’s a little funny that all my multiplayer games work fine, and the only ones broken on Proton are mainstream ones I hate.
It’s like an invisible filter telling me “These devs are jackasses and the playerbase is toxic. Don’t play this.”
ProtonDB reports say that it runs great under Linux, including multiplayer, so I'm not sure if kernel level anti-cheat can really be in use. Maybe it's just under Windows?
I'm gonna give it a shot, and if it doesn't work I'll refund I guess.
I'm on an Arch distro, worked just fine for me on the free weekend.
I ran it on my steamdeck! :)
I played in during the free weekend earlier in October, only fiddling I had to do was change to Proton Experimental, after that it ran perfect.
It works right out of the box on bazzite
I can confirm, both this and The Finals (same developers) works great on Linux. No Kernel level AC for us. I even load into games faster than Windows people I'm playing with, and I just realized this is possibly why.
Not all kernel level anti-cheat are the same. Riot's Vanguard and whatever Battlefield 6 uses requires TPM and SecureBoot and they quite invasive. I believe Vanguard just runs in the background even when you're not running the game which is awful. Arc Raiders devs made some pragmatic concessions to allows the game to run on Proton and Steam Deck which is pretty good.
And worth pointing out that the Linux version of EAC (which is what Embark games use) runs in user space. It's literally not kernel level anticheat on Linux.
