I assume the “anti-cheat” he brings up in Doom: The Dark Ages is actually Denuvo, which likely would have some issues running, although a January 2025 post on Phoronix indicates maybe it does work, or Denuvo support is being worked on? [0]
Doom The Dark Ages is a single player game, so I’m not sure who you’d be cheating against, aside from maybe some real Buzz Killington’s saying you’re “cheating Microsoft by pirating it”.

- Onawa 9mo agoDenuvo is DRM, not anticheat.
- gjsman-1000 9mo agoDenuvo isn’t quite DRM either. It’s an anti-tamper layer; the whole goal being to prevent the binary from modifications. This then prevents the DRM of choice (ie Steamworks) from being bypassed. I know that sounds a little pedantic; but typically DRM involves an identity layer (who is allowed to access what?). Denuvo doesn’t care about that; it’s even theoretically possible to make a Denuvo protected binary anyone could use.

- wincy 9mo agoRight, I’m pointing out that as a purely single player game, how would one cheat in Doom: The Dark Ages?
- cmxch 9mo agoDenuvo is malware, not anticheat.
- bigyabai 9mo agoMalware is always a matter of perspective.
- efilife 9mo agoRansomware too?
- bigstrat2003 9mo agoMost anti-cheat solutions these days are literal rootkits. So that distinction is pretty blurry lately.
