The majority of multiplayer games do not require kernel level anticheat. I play almost exclusively multiplayer games I just don't play the dumb mainstream ones like fortnite or destiny
Kernel ac is pretty much the only one that doesn't work. The vast majority of other anti cheats work perfectly fine under proton.
Like I said I play almost exclusively multiplayer games on Linux if that wasn't clear, the only ones that don't work are things like valorant, destiny, fortnite that are using kernel ac
No, plenty of multiplayer games dont have anti cheat systems on the client side lol.
