It's not perfect but the cheaters generally get banned fairly quickly and it's far better than the alternative. I've played tons of games of Valorant at
Radiant (the highest rank) and it's extremely rare to even run into someone that I suspect is cheating. In comparison, I get extremely blatant cheaters in about 25% of my games of CS and far more than that in CoD: Warzone.
- tentacleuno 5y ago> and it's far better than the alternative There is, of course, a substantial issue re: privacy with this approach. A ring-0 driver can essentially do everything the system can (it's running in kernel mode). It's a two-sided coin.
- fsdjkflsjfsoij 5y agoBasically everything of interest on the average user's computer can be obtained without a ring-0 driver. Riot's incentive for the driver is extremely clear and it's not in their financial interest to abuse it.
- daneel_w 5y agoYes and no. In the case of e.g. Windows 10, without a kernel module, access depends on UAC specifics.
