This is so funny because rust has one of the worst cheating situations and majority of their players are windows users, and theres lots of games that have anticheat that allows linux and have notably less significant cheating problems like marvel rivals. in reality rust doesn’t take cheating very seriously because if they did they would have more server side software that detects illegitimate behaviour like tons of other games do successfully… even most popular Minecraft servers have better functioning anti cheat that is completely server side than rust has while getting kernel access to your pc. its pathetic and lazy development tbh and this entire post from them reads like such extreme cope…
I’m sure I’ve been playing a lot of games with EAC, because it’s actually one of the few ones that support Linux.
If I’m not mistaken (judging entirely by the RAC popup/loading), from the games I’m playing, Hell Let Loose, Fellowship, Helldivers 2, I think even The Finals used it.
Hell Let Loose wasn’t working at first, because you have to check a checkbox and enable Linux support when building, which did take them a while.
So, unless I’m misremembering/confusing it with another anticheat, this is bullshit.
Also “unless you have an in-house anti-cheat team”
You made millions out of your player base. You can afford it. You’re just lazy.
You can set the EAC flag in lutris and have it run on proton just fine. That is how all of the star citizen players do it. Its the new ones that need BIOS level stuff that I dont think will ever jive with linux unless they build a lib and make it for them.
yea thats one of the funniest parts like oh so your game that makes tons of money and has rampant cheating doesnt have any team dedicated to the issue? that explains a lot!
