@gamingonlinux cheaters, or "cheaters"? By running Linux "anti cheat" often labels you as a Cheater. Using accessible technology, often gets labeled as "cheating". And how much of the "anti-cheat" is on stuff where it is a matter of, "I just want to have my type of experience of this game," as it's not "real" competition. Most of it, as far as I can tell. @gamingonlinux I'm dubious. Your explanation, of it being something they could see in the game by cheating, was reasonable. But their post suggests they are tracking merely reading from the program's memory space at all. I'm worried this would catch profilers, harmless video overlays, or even a simple `grep /dev/mem` for unrelated purposes. |
@gamingonlinux simple yet super effective. I donโt play Dota but this is great.
