Is the anti-cheat anything to worry about?
I've seen people saying that this game uses ACE as an anti-cheat, that it is kernel level and runs on your computer at all times.

Is this true or are people exaggerating things?

The entire kernel anti cheat scare is just a bunch of hot air originally disseminated by cheat developers. Nothing to worry about in any capacity

it is and on one of my machines shutting down the anticheat manually locked it up and I had to unplug it then safe boot and uninstall the AC. Further the game is a p2w get counter picked before match kind of game and no unit swapping mid match. poorly executed hero shooter. Mech game wise, just go back to AC6

I don’t play valorant for that reason. The highest level anti cheat I’ve ever used is easy anti cheat, and that’s both made by an American company and doesn’t run all the time on your pc

Like clockwork, sunk cost fallacy is a hell of a drug.
Its a chinese game, risk of pay to win is 99%, risk of spyware is 200% with tencent AC.
Also funny I remember receiving a valorant invite for the beta from somewhere while people were fighting for it on twitch, didnt even know about the AC at that point (i think it came out later all the shady ♥♥♥♥), when I realized its not a Steam key i left it to rot while everyone was wasting hundreds of hours watching randoms shills on twitch for a chance to get it, hilarious ♥♥♥♥.

Now that I can't argue with, gamplay was also good on last beta.
Western developers should be ashamed of themselves.

...honestly I dont know if the anticheat is as bad as the one for Valorant (literally starts with Windows itself)... BUT I do know when the game's page notes it doesnt uninstall with the game, THAT makes me question.

Some people report that it does stay running while the game isn't.
Valorant rightfully gets a lot of bad rep but this is literally tencent so I don't see why it should be treated any differently, if anything it could be even worse considering theres not even the slightest layer of separation between what tencent wants and what a (supposedly) western company (fully owned by tencent) like riot can do. Riot apologists always bring this argument, well here you don't even have that, its upfront about the fact its tencent so it should at the very least be treated equally until proven otherwise.

LOL no. If you don't understand that's fine but don't spread misinformation.

You always treat chinese companies like they are some kind of demonic entity.
But the truth is that western, chinese or russian companies are all the same. They want the same and they do the same.

Just look how google or meta stopped fact checks because of trump and how trump simply ♥♥♥♥♥ on human rights and how intelligence services handle things when you are on the wrong page.

Couldnt care less
