I recently saw an interesting idea, put the game inside a lightweight container and give it a virtual GPU. The latency took a small but noticeable hit but you had verified code that you could verify that the game code hasn't been modified. Granted it wouldn't be perfect security since your threat model is someone with root access, but it makes the effort required to hack the game large though that it hopefully discourages some would be hackers
- clSTophEjUdRanu 7y agoNot all cheats inject code. Many cheats use a set of offsets to find game objects in memory and draw an overlay or minimap. This data can also be tied to autoaim hacks that uses mouse input directly for aiming.

- cooljacob204 7y agoSome hacks do run games inside a 'container' or VM because the host machine just modifies the guests memory from the outside. (Take this with a grain of salt, I have heard some very expensive hacks work like this through word of mouth)
- Keenuts 7y ago> give it a virtual GPU That will be hard part As far I as recall, this is not something you can easily do with common consumer hardware. Real GPU virtualization is not possible on classic GPUs, and workaround methods are a bit hacky. (As far as I recall OC)
