    Have they gotten rid of the rootkit anti-cheat system yet? Because if not it’s still a pass for me.

      I don’t think they will, as gamers have been normalized to root kits shipping with games. It is a shame, but - where the majority of the audience is completely indifferent - unless the anticheat is doing something overtly problematic like causing a drop in frame rates (e.g. Denuvo) it won’t be removed.

      But, as an alternative, you can play the game on Linux via Proton - it works, and absolutely doesn’t have root privileges. (note: I’m playing on the Steam Deck, but I see no reason why it shouldn’t work on normal Proton)

      (edited for clarity)

        Every day the arguments for just ditching windows entirely get stronger and stronger

    Doesn’t even make sense, there’s no PVP, why add a rootkit level anticheat?

    Pass from me unless/until it’s fixed I think.
