The issue of anti-cheat on Linux (2024)
Why are developers so hesitant to bring anti-cheat solutions to Linux?
I am not personally a big fan of this since, as you can imagine, it can result in all sorts of unintended issues (people buying used hardware), but in reality, it’s not really a problem since those HWID bans usually expire after a few months (the game devs won’t tell you this though 😉). While technically true that it’s harder, it’s definitely not impossible or problematic for an experienced person, so trust me, security researchers and especially the entire cheating community keep a close eye on it, in the same way they do on the usermode components. I won’t be putting any links here, but if you search GitHub for cheats for this game, you will find many that work on Linux and there is absolutely no anti-cheat bypass required.
