This really isn’t a W. Even though I don’t play any of these games, Ive had friends who have had a real interest in switching to Linux, but didn’t because they couldn’t play LOL or Valorant.
It’s not really linux’s fault by any means, but it’s no W.
Yea it’s a joke
The joke is that those games suck so bad that even having the option to play them on any form of Linux would make said OS worse
That’s like wanting to try vaping to help you stop smoking but never doing it because you can’t find nicotine vapes that taste that specific burning shit flavor you’re used to.
They can keep that shit on windows. The anti cheat will probably evolve to include AI bullshit like nanny assistants to make sure you’re using your computer like a human is supposed to and live facial identify verification to make sure you’re watching the anti cheat ads they’ll start playing when you die.
LoL specifically may be for the best. I don’t know anyone who got into that game in a healthy way or thought they enjoyed it in retrospect after switching to a new game.
CoD and CS with super powers sure but not League of Legendary Toxicity
I love Linux and all, but I think this post is kinda
The problem is that games like LoL or Valorant are kinda made so that you “need” to have a dedicated LoL PC. You’re not supposed to install these games on your main PC. Because these games are so highly competitive with real cash prizes involved, the devs ask for more control over your PC than typical games. It’s not a Windows vs Linux thing, it’s about control.
I’m not condoning this practice but it helps to understand why the situation is like this.What percentage of players even do those competitive things though? Surely you could have an option to turn the orwellian anticheats off for regular players and only enabled for
the sweaty wankerscompetitive players.It’s deeper.
- Stopping you from running without checks it makes it harder to develop cheats.
- Keeping it off linux keeps them from having to support linux (small base, big effort)
The profit isn’t there, so they’re not going to do it.
idk but there’s probably dozens of those. I don’t know what Rito are thinking and I kinda don’t want to. Intrusive anti cheat doesn’t work but those companies don’t care. Unfortunately, in the rat race between cheaters and anti cheat devs, actually developing a game solidly such that cheating is basically impossible has not been thought of yet. I also suspect “”“”““micro””“”“” transactions are a major driving factor here.
What do you mean it doesn’t work? As much as I hate having to keep a windows partition for the occasional game of league, Vanguard has made a huge difference in Masters+ games.
Anti cheat will always be bypassed. BF6, requiring secure boot, had cheats during the open beta. And this will always be true due to the nature of how computers work. You would need to have a dedicated computing device that does nothing but play a specific game in order to ensure cheating isn’t possible; think tamagochi but for league of legends.
That doesn’t change the fact that there used to be a cheater every ~10 games, now I don’t think I’ve seen a single one since Vanguard. It doesn’t have to catch 100% of cheaters, if it went from catching 10% to 99.99% that’s a massive win.
honestly idk how much of a diff it makes and I really don’t care. I wholeheartedly disagree that it’s a massive win if the system catches a few cheaters if the system is designed around “guilty until proven innocent”.
It’s absolutely possible to design a game in a way that makes cheating basically impossible or severely nerfs it without an anti-cheat. And even if you didn’t want to do that, the fact that dedicated servers have become a incredibly rare sight also contributes to this issue.
It’s all for the bottom line. Spend as little time in development as possible and extract as much money from players as possible, at all costs.
I just can’t sit here and say kernel level anti-cheat is good if it works.
I get turned on by control. That’s why I’m permenantly erect in this Heaven of a police state we’re creating.
Dota 2 is working totaly fine so whats up about that 😐?
It’s too different compared to lol
Easy, dota 2 isnt fun
And no FIFA or whatever the fuck it is called now
PES was always superior anyways. They own the license now. It’s called eSoccer. EA had to change to FC. They can’t use FIFA stuff anymore.
Deadlock and cs2 is sweaty enough for me
These games do some SCP-level containment for everyone sane in this hobby.
I play COD on Linux, just older ones that have mod tools.
Call of Duty: UO runs fine on Linux if you use an older version of Proton. It’s the best CoD game anyway
WAW has Redline though
I wanted to play Fortnite again but after seeing Epic to approve the AI Slop in their shop, I deleted my account and never looked back.
I do however wish I could play rust, tarkov(less so these days), HUNGER, and battlefield 1, but I can deal without those things I guess.
But Stellar Blade also doesn’t work and I really like the… erm… battles !
I played through all of Stellar Blade on Linux and it has a platinum rating on protonDB
Oh my bad then, I guess that I figured that since it had Denuvo then it wouldn’t work ! I guess it’s really time that I shrunk my Windows partition and go full Linux
why, otherwise you’d play it?
personally, I’m crushed that marvel tokon will not work on Linux :(
maybe if they did we could break 5% market share to 6!
Not worth it
Can I play KoL on Linux? That’s all I care about. Need to get off windows with all these horse and donkey videos I make for a legitimate business.
It’s Kingdom of Loathing! God! Don’t you kids know your classic browser MMOs? That shit works if you have the internet!
