IIRC it is still limited to user level perms on Linux

If a game needs you to enter sudo to run then thats a problem.. or a desktop theme

Isnt that why you can't play on Linux anymore? Not granting root?

[–] bbuez 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

..no, the issue with typical anticheats like EAC is that some studios simply want to avoid also patching for Linux, and the file system/utilities of wine can trip cheat detection

Iirc no, it's because of vanguard which is a rootkit

[–] bbuez 1 points 7 months ago

I mostly coming off of EAC which can be configured to run within user perms, but damn vanguard just reads like spyware

Yeah there are a few specific flags that Vanguard looks for when it runs, you can easily bypass it by adding some flags to a virtual machine.

Okay I'd say pm me but I like the scraps of mental health I have so maybe don't.

Nah I've given you enough, just search up a video guide on YT.

Thank you for not. My therapist would thank you too, if I had one.
