[–] TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes. nProtect GameGuard (sometimes called GG) is an anti-cheating rootkit developed by INCA Internet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (4 children) I wonder if shit like that will eventually lead to more people using wine in windows, in order to sandbox rootkits. Helldivers 2 works fine with proton on Linux, at least. The absurdity of having a reason to run wine on windows through WSL is amusing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago God, it's so convoluted I'll become a monk first. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sudoreboot@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago If Linux gaming continues to increase in popularity, I imagine the anti-cheat will start to crawl its way out of the WINE environment and into the native system. But I actually have no clue about how these AC work or is handled by WINE. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Goronmon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Most likely result of this setup becoming popular is the anti-cheat working harder to detect being sandboxed in this manner. Since it's the same thing a cheater would do to defeat the anti-cheat. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cybersteel@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Maybe people will transition slowly over to linux permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] napoleonsdumbcousin@feddit.de 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
