Question for those who got this game installed
Are you lads got any problems with your OS or PC? I'm little affraid about installing this game becasue it's anticheat. I've heard many different stories, some probably fake so I wonder if it safe and if you got any issues. Thanks

its a kernel level anti-cheat so use at your own risk.

or you can play the game in Linux and avoid any potential Windows OS issues from it.

I'm running on laptop specs 7945hx 4080 m2 drives with 16 go qhd quality possible to run on max settings but lowered to lowest ! And having 200+ fps but still persistent some stuttering and lower fps do less damage as seems so far

I'm very cautious about anti-cheat programs and how invasive they can be. However I'd had no issues with Rivals at all.

The cheat loads up when the games does and turns off when the game is off. No spying on ya. ;)

Also I've had no OS or PC issues at all. This seems to be a very good anti-cheat.

At least this anti-cheat shuts itself off when the game is shut off, unlike Riot Vanguard, which is mandated to be online 24/7.

Thank you all for your comments. Seems like this AC also doesn't disable core protection or memory integrity like Naraka AC in old days which is good. I will give this game a try 😎

Where did you find out about this information? My biggest concern was with the Anti cheat being similar to Narakas since I have heard nightmares about that. I am interested in the game but need to know for certain its not like Narakas and will not disable core protection or memory integrity.

Just google "Naraka AC HVCI_KMCI". Their AC used to disable those features BUT they patched it quite long time ago. AC being used in Marvel Rivals is most likely even more advanced tool in 2024 so it's not doing it anymore.

Thanks for the response its a separate anti cheat from narakas correct? I just wanted to understand how the anti cheat worked before install.

If your worried its best you dont play any game with Kernal security. They can change what it does at any time so really even if you find its safe today tomorrow it wont be. I use windows so they already steal my data and such so what ever.

It was basicly the same AC Naraka is using today, just worse version. They upgraded it and made it compatible with Windows internal security features like core isolation. AC used in Marvel Rivals is (at worse) this upgraded build or (at best) something completely new and better. What's more, old Naraka AC required you to manually click and disable some things to work (it didn't do it itself), so as long as you dont see any pop-up window telling you to turn some feature off - you are ok.

As long as you do not play the game on a public wireless network, it's safe. For public wireless networks, it's not safe because the launcher allows execution of code on the target machine, which can be used by an attacker to gain control over your computer.
According to the person who detected this issue, NetEase did not fix it, even though he contacted them directly through different channels.

As far as I know, the security issue still remains unresolved.
