Battledield now throwing an error because Valorant is already sitting in kernel memory. Time to buy your EA Battlefield PC but don’t forget your Valorant PC
War…war never changes.
I came here to make a joke along the lines of “lol don’t play Valorant” but I see there’s people seriously suggesting it. Holy shit, you guys.
I mean, I don’t. Believe it or not it isn’t mandatory.
Congrats. Want a cookie?
Them insisting on having match making for the main modes was my red line. While this nonsense is not a deal breaker for me, as I almost always tryhard a single multiplayer game at a time anyway if I’m playing multiplayer at all. This sounds like I’m dodging another future headache whenever the next game insists on kernel level anti-cheat though.
It’s a shame, they won’t get my money
You could also just not play games that think they are allowed to access the kernel at all. Seems safer, more affordable, and basically without downside. They aren’t even that good of games.
They aren’t even that good of games.
Hard copium there
Yes because I truly love my shooters becoming more and more homogenized. Counter strike with hero abilities!?!? Oh my GOD let me spend 100’s of dollars on skins yes PLEASE Riot. Battlefield but it’s more like CoD? YES daddy DICE PLEASE spit in my mouth again, I love the taste.
You liking other type of games doesn’t mean all other games are shit. Most games are pretty basic. I mean csgo is generic as hell and Valorant improves the genre with abilities, good map design, proper character identities, and you say they make homogenized shit?
You not liking AAA games doesn’t mean they’re shit. There’s nothing wrong with making games that stick to a genre but do it perfectly
There isn’t a single character ability in Valorant that does not have an analog from League of Legends. Yes, it’s homogenized garbage.
Never played LoL but I’m pretty sure that’s false
I’ve played both, granted I stopped playing valorant after 2 games because it’s fucking boring (for reference I stomped both games with +30 kills and a handful of deaths, dicking around with every gun) so I easily could be wrong about my assertion. You would be hard pressed to find a single character ability that doesn’t already exist in CS or LoL.
Edit: That isn’t even approaching the Overwatch comparisons. Like, you can argue that the games are fun — that’s entirely subjective. But seriously, Valorant isn’t homogenous? How many hero shooters exist? The fucking sniper is called the Operator.
They made a great game from this genre, and I don’t believe I’ve ever played a cs-like game with agents
I think the point is there are a lot of excellent shooters to choose from.
Sure, but from what I’ve seen, this battlefield isn’t bad
But yea we know EA
Soon you will only be able to play on certified monitors with anticheat tampering built in. They 100% guarunteed will not be backdoored or phone home, pinky promise, it is certain.
ive heard valorant have to be uninstalled, and ive alao heard that you cant run both games at the same time. which one is it? and why should care with a pc with disabled tpm2
That’s actually super funny to me.
It boggles my mind so many people give a shit about these awful franchises. Surely there is something else to play
Sure. And when your entire friend group starts playing one of them, you can either join in, or see if you can wait out their interest.
Or did you think everyone games in a bubble?
There is an audience for such games. Mainly for them to blow off steam and try to see if they’re a better crack shot than anyone, and sometimes to acquire a degree of fame. They have spent enormous amounts of money hoping to land more shots at a higher framerate.
I’m now more content quietly playing an offline sandbox game, no rush at all.
Project Zomboid is fun as hell.
It barely gets a passing grade, and that’s only if you’ve installed all the QoL mods.
I think these franchises have people hooked on a FOMO drip somehow, maybe I’m wrong. I’ve never seen the appeal myself.
Are you guys talking about Battlefield? A AAA fps with 128 players? With absolute bangers like 1942, Vietnam, 2142, 2, 4, and 1?
No idea why people like it. Dead franchise imo
Bad Company 2 and BF3 were great too :(
Haven’t played any since, and definitely won’t defile my kernel with these new rootkit requirements.
What does it mean to “adjust it is settings”?
This is pretty crazy it has gotten to this point.
What’s even crazier is that I saw methods on bypassing kernel level anticheats 5 years ago. The BF6 kernel level anticheat was bypassed in the first hours of beta.
It seems wildly dangerous for the almost no effect it brings to the table when it comes to cheat sellers.
Its*. This word is an exception to the rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession. It’s is always a contraction for “it is”.
It’s not an exception. Pronouns never have apostrophes for possessive.
His. Hers. Theirs. Its.
I didn’t even catch that the first time. But what should we expect from garbage software?
Games dont belong in the kernel. Shit should have stayed in userspace. No, I dont care how many billions are on the line, games are not that important.
Those are not games but anticheats
True, your wording was my intention.
But is your intention my wording?
alternative: Games do not belong on computers that do non-game things.
Anyway, this is going to be resolved as soon as north korea finds out who many people have important stuff on PC they game on, and hack some hapless devs source to install a rootkit on 100m PCs via steam.
I don’t think you understand people don’t have money to buy one computer to work, one to play, or a console to play. People are cheap that way, when it comes to food or a gaming console they choose food.
Bait used to be believable.
Yes they do. If I want games and non games on my PC then that is up to me, I am the fucking admin.
Yes they do. If I want malware and non malware on my PC then that is up to me, I am the fucking admin.
Fixed your post, and yes you are the admin, you can do what you want.
That was one hell of a leap in (il)logical thinking…
Do you think every videogame is malware?
I guess only Nintendo is allowed to release games then.
Sony can’t, Playstation has a web browser and therefore games do not belong on it.
Checkmate, the playstation 5 doesn’t have a web browser
Neither did Playstation from what I remember
Playstation 2, 3 and 4 could run a web browser (although in all cases it was netfront, worse than Microsoft explorer 6)
I mean, i expected some comments on this, but that ? really?
very weak. back to the drawing board.
With Linux, that’s impossible. However, I will say that you won’t need to worry about these privacy invading rootkits disguising themselves as anti-cheats (Ricochet, EA’s Ring 0 malware, EAC, Battleye, etc.).
Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.
between the toxic communities, over monetization, and this kind of crap, I have been done with online competitive games for years. Anti-Cheating is going to always be a cat and mouse game, with the cheaters winning all the time. Anti-Cheat will always be reacting to whatever the new method of cheating is and humans are very innovative when they want to be.
