    I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on virtual machines and anti-cheat tech. While VM tech may seem like a hassle for some, it's a fair compromise when considering the invasion of privacy from kernel drivers. As you said, our privacy should not be compromised for the sake of video games. Disappointingly, we, as non-cheating gamers, are flagged as suspicious just because our method of gaming relies on VM.

    You should turn the 'migratable' attribute (under tag 'cpu') off to get more performance in the VM as it causes QEMU to run the VCPU's with a subset of the actual CPU features so as to ensure the VM can be migrated to similar CPU types while the VM is running, obviously dont if you actually do want that feature but the average VM user (i.e. a user without a small datacenter) won't ever do this, great vid by the way!

    so about catching cheeters in real-time vs after the act. A former Blizzard dev who worked on WoW on youtube, Piracy Games or Thor, said that you actually want to do it through banwaves because then not only do you make it hard for them to figure out how they got detected, but you can also have their users hit them with a wave of chargebacks.

      I'm surprised battle-eye let their own anti cheat run without kernel validation and I am honestly A little worried that as anti cheat eventually makes its way onto linux, they will start to validate the kernel.
      Its possible to make these anti cheats in such A way that the kernel has to be A whitelisted variation, like steams custom kernel for the steam deck or A build used on only specific distros. This would let them validate that the kernel hasn't been customized to cheat in their games, in exchange for being unable to add use custom kernels for supporting new or even proprietary hardware.
      The good news is that because linux kernel variations are GPL anyway, the public can make themselves as involved as they like in getting an anti cheat to add A new kernel to its whitelist, But it would still be lame if linux hardware products that need kernel customization for supporting their hardware ended up having to negotiate with each anti cheat maker for support individually. Maybe they could delegate to the main branch of the linux kernel? That way hardware supported by the default kernel would be anti cheat compatible day one.

    To give a good reference as to how good gaming on linux is getting. When the 7900 XTX came out (I got the XT), it only worked on debian with one screen, else you needed the latest mesa drivers from the aur. Once it was up and running mainstream, games running DX12 were mostly unplayable. The Witcher 3 ran at below 1 fps, around 30 fps in DX 11 but with an ungodly amount of bloom for some reason. Today, I reinstalled with the latest and greatest, and The Witcher 3 runs in DX12 at 60+fps. We have come a long way, and are still progressing. The developers do incredible magic.

A lot of us more middle aged people were screaming about consumer protection and getting ignored. The current situation is a lot like the pre-depression era in terms of wealth gap and crappy consumer/worker protection laws, low wages etc.

    @15:00 - Another problem outside the very real privacy issue is that if the kernel mode anti-cheat driver is hacked (i.e. if the company who produces it is hacked and the source code for it is stolen) then your system is extremely vulnerable

  • @SolidSt8Dj
    @SolidSt8Dj 10 місяців тому +5

    The reason kernel-mode anti-cheat is a requirement for these games in the first place is simple:
    As a cheat developer, if I want to avoid detection from a user-level anti-cheat, all I have to do is make my cheat run at kernel level. It's literally as simple as that obviously some caveats still exist). Is it more difficult to make a kernel-level cheat than a user-mode cheat? Yes, but it's not significantly harder, and for the money I'm making, along with actively wanting to invade my customers' privacy AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, it makes little sense not to.
    Does it suck ass that so much of the worlds' oxygen and resources have been wasted on "people" that should've been burned at the stake? Yes. But that is life. And if people want to enjoy these games without cheat software, then the sacrifice needs to be made. Whether one chooses to make that sacrifice largely comes down to: 1. How much do you trust the anti-cheat companies? 2. How much do you care?
    As for Linux support, it's incredibly frustrating that games like Siege STILL won't even comment on the topic, let alone enable it. Granted, quitting Siege and games like it led to a significant uptick in my mental health, so maybe it wasn't all bad.

    To clarify to those who are confused why VMs would be a problem for anticheat, spoofing hardware IDs and being able manipulate memory outside the VM, and therefore be totally undetectable, is the concern
    the issue is this can already be done using DMA cards and a seperate machine
    the issue i think could be solved by basically every game by having non-free to play games and a community review and reporting system
    if you detect and ban cheaters rapidly they will go away eventually, $25 for a single match is not worth it for many

    The problem with virtual machines is that you can disguise your hardware and bypass bans of these games. It is not even the cheating aspect. It is often easier to just ban virtual machines then have a bunch of people bypassing the ban and completely ruining the game like an unmanaged server. The moment you have rampant cheaters it will harm the game much more.

    Something to keep in mind, there is often a choice between compatibility and performance. The more "targetted" the software is, the easier it is to implement it, and the more you can squeeze out the performance. This is part of why consoles is competitive and emulation/port tend to suck. A proper port tend to require rewrite of 10-50% of the functional code, possibily including the engine itself, this is why those are rare. Instead, most "ports" are just patch work that ran barely better than emulation. Similarly, it is likely that any other software feature will also require significant rewrite to expand compatibility.
    As such, have you considered that it is possible that DLSS is as good as it is because they have choose to ignore the other OS etc? I'm not saying this is what actually happens, as I don't have insider knowledge of Nvdia's decision making. But this is most certainly a possibility.
    As it were, the best way for linux support to come is for the user base to grow, so that assorted company would deem the effort of a proper "port" of their software/feature to be worth the cost. If we were to be honest, Steam didn't add the compatibility layer out of the goodness of their heart, it's just that Linux market have grown large enough to justify it.

      ​@pizza-pi They've definitely gotten better in recent years. Now it's "we acknowledge you exist" instead of "die you mongrel scum".

      Just wanted to interject that proton, and all the linux compatibility stuff is not emultion in any part. It's called a translation layer, and the distinction is rather important.
      And DLSS is largely irrelevant to this topic because in this case, the largest dependency is the graphics driver itself, which does not have the same enabled feature set on Linux as compared to Windows, and all of the game-related features and calls are already translated through DXVK.

    Ring 0 permissions for anti-cheat is almost like having to give your SSN to an event organizer to play some football.
    The fact it got to this point and still doesn't work really shows the conventional way of anti-cheats... well... doesn't work.

      No it does not, i think going back to a community hosted servers with admins would make it so much easier to ban cheaters.

    Buddy protects his personal info too much for being such a public character.
    If the FBI wants you they'll ask Walmart or Amazon, they'll have all of Muta's info

      my thoughts exactly, i bet he will go all his life without anything negative happening to him even if he wasnt so serious about privacy. But i respect his mindset

      There is no such thing as protecting your info too much. It is better to be safe than sorry, no matter who you are.
