It will undoubtedly be the future for any competitive or PvP focused fps. Get ready to hold onto your existing games or be riddled with hackers

its the normal now, pretty much every anti cheat is kernal level. if this guy is not installing any games with kernal level AC he probably just doesnt play games

I really hope that the kernel-level anti-cheat is implemented. Without it, the game will end up like CS2, where everyone cheats as much as they want

....also played helldivers 2 which used nProtect (kernel level) and EAC (Kernel level)
Also DBZ Kakarot uses EAC
He Played Apex, with EAC
(im lazy to look further, but theres probably more)

But remember guys... he never installs a game with Kernel level Anti cheat, except when he does.

Literally every anti-cheat that is used in modern online-gaming is kernel level.

Battle-eye.
EAC
Vanguard
Ricochet
nProtect GameGuard
VAC

Please allow Linux users to play this, dont be regarded and add some intrusive kernel anticheat with no Linux support!!!

Spot on... most games are being ruined by cheating.

What a clown take, Linux is more than capable for gaming. In most games I get more FPS on Linux than Windows xD also the OS is smooooooth AF and never lag on my system, cant say the same about Microslop.

Then tell us and the dev what anti cheat they should be using? Go ahead.

In the long run there needs to be a good server side solution.

Client side anti cheat seems to be tricked too easily, even kernel level anti cheat gets cracked all the time.

yep i agree.. most casual users dont realize how dangerous kernel level anti cheat is .... BUT SOME GOOD NEWS for future ... Microsoft will shift away from kernel-level access marks a major turning point for Windows security and for PC gaming. In the short term, antivirus and endpoint protection tools will be the first to move out of the kernel. Anti-cheat systems will follow more slowly, since game developers need time to adjust and find new ways to fight cheating without deep system access.

Some games may continue using kernel-level drivers for now, but the long-term trend is clear. Microsoft wants to reduce the risks tied to kernel software and create a safer, more stable platform. That means developers will face increasing pressure to update their tools and follow the new guidelines.

For players, this could lead to fewer crashes, better privacy, and more control over what runs on their machines. But it may also mean a period of change, as developers test new methods and deal with growing pains. In time, if the new tools are built well, the end result could be a more secure and transparent gaming experience for everyone.
