minus-squareFubarberry@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35arrow-down4·3 个月前EAC does work on Linux, developers just have to flip a toggle switch to support Linux. Some devs just don’t want to do that. Halo MCC, Apex Legends, Back 4 blood, and Smite are all games that use EAC and work on Linux. And basically no kernel anticheat will work on Linux. So Helldivers 2 isn’t kernel anticheat, just user-space.
