I was so surprised that I was able to get Genshin running on my steam deck through wine. I remember when the deck came out, everyone was saying that games that use anti cheat software wouldn't work on the deck. But both Genshin and Elden Ring work on the deck.

I think Genshin removed their anticheat after it was used by ransomware

The anticheat ignores its kernel module fails to load on Wine since v3.8, otherwise the AC is still there. Same goes for ZZZ. The ransomware does not require user to have GI installed to run so GI removing the anticheat would do nothing, MS had to unsign vulnerable driver. Idk if they did.

True. Maybe MS just doesn't want to sign their driver anymore.

Oh really? Then why does it still need permission to run on Windows? I thought that was due to the anticheat ?

Not all anti cheat mechanisms are the same, but the worst ones are kernel-hooking ones for multiple reasons. Besides security, stability and privacy issues with them they also have compatibility issues with any OS they weren't built specifically for

Now that's great to know, I'm not on genshin anymore since they are very cheap with rewards, but I still love Star Rail and been playing ZZZ, was afraid of switching.

I have only tried Genshin, but it runs fairly well. The biggest issue I've had is major stuttering when I'm playing on battery. Plugged in, there's no stuttering. Not sure why.

ZZZ works on Linux. HSR is ... complex. If you want more info dm me.
