I wonder what the anti cheat has to say about this?
Will they subtly imply that every pro that got hacked actually cheats, or cop to a vulnerability exploited in a kernel level anti cheat. Keep in mind kernel level is above admin level. It can do more than you on your own PC.
Looking at it now since there’s been a lot of stuff since then, I’m willing to say it’s because Source 1 sucks more than anything.
Also the Linux version of EAC is explicitly not kernel level, even though most of the cheats that people are using are, meaning EAC does fuck all on Linux. The only reason EAC has a Linux version to begin with is because the Steam Deck came out and Valve wanted to make sure that people could play Valve games on it.
Doesn't really exist any more, unless you run some specific Linux flavors. Everything else is just hardware that you're allowed to use for as long as the company that wrote the software wants you to.
Don’t be so quick to blame the anti-cheat, even though kernel level stuff is kinda sus. Apex runs on Source 1, which is known to have plenty of RCE exploits.
Forgot Apex is developed by Respawn, yeah, I’m very much leaning towards Source 1 RCE/Respawn being shit at anti-cheat than blaming EAC, even if kernel access is something that should be taken very seriously.
Titanfall had its share of hacks. The most common one I saw gave every gun they used the smart core functionality that the legion titan had so all of their shots instantly locked on to everything and hit it. It even had the multiple lock on.
The people who still play it don't really hack now, except those assholes who DDOS'd tye server for no fuckin reason.
Lol. I was playing it when the game was new. It was ate-up with hackers then. This is not surprising.
Well said. This shit is why I stopped playing any kind of competitive online stuff back during Halo 3. Co-op or single player only for me now.

clearly we need more anti-cheat!

Shouldn't Titanfall 2 has a similar exploit then? It's also based on Source, possibly an even older version.
