I am conflicted about this one. I really miss playing Rust (uses EAC).. wish there was a way to toggle the kernel level anticheat when I wanted to play.
To my limited knowledge. EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) is Linux compatible, it just has a setting that needs to be toggled by the game devs and pushed out in an update.
But then developers refuse to support that. With missing kernel-level stuff just being an excuse for being intentionally Linux-hostile...
You would seriously want to give some game studio kernel level access? That seems like a extreme risk for not a lot of gain. If nothing else there is a high chance of it being spyware. More likely they would pull a crowdstruck and kill your machine by wiping out the firmware.
That’s what I’ve read as well. The real kicker is Rust runs better for me on Linux. I’m pretty sure Facepunch heavily funded EAC’s development too. Garry’s kind of a bitter cunt about playing on Linux for whatever reason.
