I’m sorry too say that he is very wrong and that was quite ignorant of him too assume it, not all indie devs give off viruses in games. He’s definitely not an expert if he has to ask himself that without doing no research about the game. Anyway happy playing. Cheers! :P

Of course, and yeah I totally understand the trust part but since it’s been now confirmed everything is all good!

OP, what was the point of making a fake thread and making a fake account to reply to your fake thread?

The game itself isn't a virus, but it does utilize a very broad kernel level anticheat that other games like fortnite use and can damage your computer over time, or potentially be a backdoor for attacks(see genshin impact hack). Genshin didn't use the same anticheat as this game, but it is a risk with any kernel level anticheat. Anti cheats have went this intrusive path because many cheat also hook themselves at the kernel level which also means they can potentially backdoor your system as well or use it to mine crypto.

devs imbedding viruses into their games from steam? I doubt that is even possible

in other words your are completely safe

Yeah I gotta agree with this. Seems kind of silly for someone to say be careful of day one viruses when it comes to PC games straight from Steam.

If it's on steam i would not worry about it unless it downloads a separate launcher then dig into it a little

OP has 10 years on the profile and has over 200 games. Zub is a private account with 0 Steam level like it's a brand new account.

Game itself probably does not have viruses, however it installs highly risky software called "Easy Anti Cheat" - this is a rootkit, a software that is injected into the kernel of you operating system and can do literally ANYTHING (it has much higher privilages than "Administrator" on Windows).

By itself it usually does not do anything harmfull, but it is HUGE FKING BACKDOOR for all kind of other malicious code - since now bad boys instead of breaking through whole Windows security system, have to just find a single vulnerability in "Easy Anti Cheat" and voila - they are inside your computer without you even knowing it.

This is a HUGE security breach and even fighting cheaters does not justify it (BTW, as you can see in other topics, Shatterline have huge problems with cheaters anyway, so this whole risking is for naught anyway.....)

ALL Private profiles show up as a level 0 account. Your assumption sounds like a bit of a stretch...
