But… but… the secureboot requirement and the anticheat were supposed to make the game free of cheaters!!i
Yeah it’s not supported for my system so I can’t even launch it. But I was watching some friends stream it and it crashed for three out of four of them within two games. I don’t think any of us will be getting it after release.
It can help prevent various methods commonly used, but nothing can stop cheating. All you can do is minimise it.
Let people run their own servers, allow blacklists and whitelists.
Problem solved.
That’s not going to solve cheating either, but I do prefer dedicated servers in general.
But won’t you think of the profits!
Counterpoint: you could not have TPM and secure boot requirements that needlessly alienates a large player base of Linux users.
I don’t understand this point.
Linux does support TPM and secure boot: https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#What_is_UEFI_Secure_Boot.3F
I thought the problem for Linux players was “just” the kernel anticheat ?
That’s true. My machine doesn’t have a TPM. I understand they are trying to make things easier for their team, but I agree I’d rather have wider support.
Counter-counterpoint: Linux users are no users if a game is brimming with cheaters. Who the fuck plays a competitive multiplayer game full of cheaters only because it runs on Linux?
Every game has cheaters. If we could run our own servers, we could decide who we play with.
So you’re not asking for Linux support, but custom dedicated server support?
If we had private dedicated servers and the ability to play without anti-cheat, Linux support would be a non-issue. But because we don’t have that, anti-cheat is seen as a necessity, and we don’t have Linux support.
No server browser btw
Will, you know what they say, “Nature will find a way.”.
The problem with turning off cross play on Xbox is if they access through the game bar or game pass it treats it the same as the console.
better to just turn the game off, refund it if you can and never buy their crap again.
The beta is free
still not worth it…
