Notably, these kernel drivers work because the cheat makers are not able to create their own kernel drivers. Microsoft requires drivers to be code signed, and Microsoft will not code sign cheating software.
Unfortunately, that also means you and I can't run our own driver code, on our own purchased machines! I find this really crappy for reasons which have nothing to do with anti-cheat. For example, I can't install modified nVidia drivers.
- motoxpro 4y agoThe people who want to tinker with unsigned drivers is many orders of magnitude smaller than the people who would accidentally install a malicious driver and ruin their PC. They had to make a choice for UX sake, they chose the bigger group of people and are happy to let the tinkers go to Linux
- ChoGGi 4y agoI thought you could boot into test mode to run unsigned drivers (or did they get rid of that?).
- mschuster91 4y agoYou can but it's annoying and complex, and anticheats can detect it.
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoYou can temporarily but it needs to be manually re-enabled again before every single boot. Also kernel anticheats will detect that test-signing is enabled and refuse to let you play.
