It still contains a pretty awful rootkit, nProtect GameGuard, FWIW.
Even so, I played for a while. It's extremely fun, but there's not a lot of content to unlock yet and progression resources are handled kind of badly.
- mrguyorama 2y agoA reminder, this is a straight up rootkit level "anti-cheat" in a game WITHOUT ANY PLAYER VS PLAYER INTERACTION Oh no, one of my teammates has a cheat that lets them call down infinite strategems, how horrible for me. /s They put it there so you can't give yourself free supercredits. They need a rootkit level "anti-cheat" so they can protect their stupid monetization scheme. It doesn't even work! It's trivial to bypass
- indrora 2y agoGriefing and trolling is just as valid a concern as cheating. If I can join a random game and make three other people' lives spectacularly shit at the same time, that's a boon to me. But HD2 isn't like PvP games like Counter Strike or DoTA or CoD. It's an RPG, like D&D. Just as the DM doesn't want the players cheating at dice rolls, the point of any anticheat in this situation is to make it just that much harder that the low-level cheating stays at a minimum and the bigger cheats are easier to spot.
