Anti-cheat

[crippling depression]

What kind of anti-cheat does the game use? I want to know if it's kernel level or not before trying out the game.

I think on store page before release it showed a kernel level chinese anticheat, staying away from it for a bit because of it. Really annoying, haven't played helldivers 2 yet for the same reason

Kernel-level third-party stuff that's doing unknowable things on your PC isn't an issue? Okay. It's like giving away your passport, your keys to everything and your passwords to a vendor whose only guarantee that they will not abuse that is "trust me, bro, it's in the fine print". Yeah.

Thanks for the tip

If it's not kernel level it's ineffectual garbage.
Stop being afraid of boogeymen because some youtuber tried to scare you. You WANT kernel level anti cheat, that is unless you want to cheat.

This is the anti-cheat, what it does, and whether you should be scared. Read it.

To be fair... it was literally called GameSPY.

The conspiracy level anxiety about kernel based anti cheats is completely unwarranted. They pose minimal risk to the end user. Please stop spreading misinformation.

"minimal risk" Take a look at what happened to genshin. A signed driver allowed people to directly manipulate memory, leading to possible malware using the signed driver. Coming from someone who understands how cheats work and how drivers themselves work, you should be discriminate with kernel level ♥♥♥♥

The anti cheat doesn't seem to do much. Plenty of cheating in every rank, including QP. Spiderman cheats are popular right now.
