Kernel Level AntiCheat Required but not listed

['.The Sev.']

The game requires BattleEye (Kernel level AntiCheat) to play, but does not appear to be listed anywhere on the game's Steam Store page (unlike other games).

What your feelings are on kernel level anticheat is NOT the point of this thread, as I'm quite aware that it's a divisive topic. The point is that the store page should be listing BattleEye as a requirement, beta or not, if Funcom is rolling this game out with it. People should not have to launch the game to find out, as there ARE people quite repulsed by kernel anticheat, regardless of how you feel about it.

Thank god, means they will hardware ban people who cheats.
But its not a thing they need to post as the game is not released yet.

Also it shows up with a warning you have to accept by clicking accept/OK to you can decline and refund the game.
Its a major problem if it didnt warn you and just did install it automatic.

it is listed at SteamDB, like here:

Fine and dandy, and at least it's shown SOMEWHERE, but who realistically goes to steamDB to scope out things that are otherwise normally listed on the store page?

You do realize that installing the game installs BattleEye, right? The popup literally just asks you to accept that BattleEye is collecting data while you play.

As you can see i have a mouse icon next to my name, and no it did not, when i click start game it opens their launcher and when i clicked play dune awakening beta weekend the first time it did pop up with that anticheat warning saying it was kernal level, i had to apply to it for it to install, i could also decline and then it closed down the whole game.

I could even see it installing the battleeye when i hit accept.

EDIT: Blame cheaters for thise kernal level anticheat softwares, games today will use kernal level softwares more and more often as it will ban you whole MOBA, CPU and even GPU for any game titles with kernal level anticheat, thats why i never buy used hardware.

The ohh no kernal level anti cheat software is a problem is only a fake problem made by cheaters. It does nothing to you system, they dont care about you, its only there to detect cheaters and then ban their whole system and thats why they started the bad rumors about kernal level anticheat software.

Overwatch 2 does not use kernel level anti-cheat. Blizzard's AC runs at user-mode level. A bit of a tangent, though.

Alright, that makes sense. Apparently I still have BattleEye installed from an old ARK:Survival Evolved install (BattleEye, like most kernel AC, doesn't uninstall with the game) so the intro pop-up is different for me.

Well there you go, this System is brand new "a few weeks old". But i can tell you it did not automatic install it.

EDIT: So many games uses kernel level anti cheat softwares today, its really no biggie.
You can remove kernel anti cheat softwares though, its not hard at all, and the size they use on you system is like a few BMP/JPG files in size.
