Players rave and rant about the wonders of kernel level anti cheats, and how games like Valorant barely have any cheaters compared VAC secured Counter Strike...
I actually believed that kernal level anti cheats stopped all cheating.
This is what allows AC devs to continue working on their useless code that only makes a mess out of everyone’s PCs and getting money with it. Same with DRM devs.
All software has bugs, so you’ll never have a 100% effective anti-cheat. It’s going to be an arms race between cheaters and game devs, and the cheaters will always find a way.
All kernel-level anti-cheat does is introduce security vulnerabilities to your system and delay the inevitable.
There will also always be external methods to cheating, like screen recording based.

MSI is releasing a monitor, with cheating built in… Granted it only “highlights” things but still.
@sugar_in_your_tea @Fizz I need to watch this.
