online anti cheats are the worst thing (lemmy.ml)

Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

Out of curiosity, which games are those?

[–] Ineocla@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fall guys fortnite and apex (judge me if you want but my broke firend don't wanna try anything else)

I can confirm that both apex and fallguys are working just fine on Linux. Fortnite on the other hand does not.

I'm not judging, as I said I was curious. I get it though, Apex just had a Linux ban wave, Fortnite well, it's owned by Epic and Fall Guys to my knowledge requires editing AC files so Windows in your case is more convenient

Sorry if i sounded a little rude. It's just that most of the time people think i'm 6y/o just because i play fortnite and it got quite annoying
