it's just one checkbox in your fudging EAC. Why can so many windows only multiplayer games be played with EAC under Linux but not Fortnät?
Because that checkbox undermines the security of EAC. Essentially it allows the service to run in the user space mode instead of kernel mode. This opens up a lot of hacking to games. It's absolutely not a solution epic wants to take with their largest game.
There is also a very good reason that vac is looked at as the worse anti cheat solution in the industry. So much so that CSGO has to have third party anti cheat in their leagues.
It is literally impossible for a game having kernel access not to be malware.
That's true on Windows too, people just accept it there more often since they don't know better
Ha, k, if you believe so.
