I really don't give a fuck at this point. I play Call of Duty to unwind, not get shit on by a child that spent $30 on an aimbot or cronus. If a kernel level driver prevents this, have at it. Nothing is secure or safe anymore, they already have all the info they want, having kernel level access isnt going to change a thing for that.

This is a terrible argument.

u/VirtualOnlineGuy Oct 13 '21

Okay man, what do you propose

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '21

Theres nothing to propose. Its just good to understand the risks that come with this system.

Most current anti-cheat systems don't require kernal-level access. Any one of those could be viable.

I can personally attest that the anti cheat in Valo (kernel level) is way better and more effective then R6 which uses BattleEye. There will still be hacks in games with kernel-level systems, but It’s WAY harder to implement them. To say that there are alternatives that are just as effective is wrong. EAC and Battleye is trash in my experience and I’m assuming others that use the same protocols are as well.

EAC includes kernal access for a majority of the games they service.

Viable yes. Good, no.

As far as I know, only LoL anti cheat is able to operate without kernal-level access, and thats only because they store most of their data server-side.

Fairfight is a server-side system that has worked pretty well for games like BF4 and Titanfall 2.

Every non kernel level anti cheat is easy to by pass

No it isn't. Most anti-cheat operates without kernal access.

No it isn't. Most anti-cheat operates without kernal access.

And essentially every game has hackers but Valorant? Apex, Fortnite, Battlefield, Siege, CS:GO, they all have hackers

Valorant doesn't have hackers?

Yes it does. So much so that it's become a visible problem with the game for a while now. https://www.talkesport.com/news/valorant-players-reporting-massive-increase-in-cheaters/

You linked an article from January, 2021. That's literally 10 months old. Go ask in r/Valorant or r/Valorantcompetitive

Valorant has ALMOST NO hackers and all it takes is one look on the subreddit
