I still don't understand why Microsoft just hasn't made a generic kernel anti-cheat driver yet with restricted scope and permissions, and then allowed commercial entities like Vanguard to integrate with that driver.
Theoretically, such a driver could allow anti-cheat systems like Vanguard the same permissions as before, but provide information to the user on exactly what it is doing and accessing. Even that would be an improvement. (And in the future, if the driver had a stable API surface, it would make Linux porting easier.)
- Workaccount2 3y agoFor years I have wanted hardware level anti-cheat in CPU's, memory, and GPU's that came in optional "anti-cheat" editions that would get their own servers in games. Yes, there are still possible ways of getting around this, but it becomes much harder than "Download this cheat, install, and you're aimbotting"
