The problem is that we can’t make an immune system and don’t even know where to begin on that problem

That would let you hide things from the kernel anti-cheat but the AC can detect that it is running in a VM and just won’t let you play.

Is there really no such thing as a virtual machine that can’t pretend to be real hardware?

What about a VM?

It not being worth using is good, I want this malware practice to die.

i’m sure there are already workarounds on windows, it’s not like cheating has been eliminated there

I simply do not believe that it costs that much to cheat with kernel level anticheat.

kernel level anticheat is pointless malware in my book, let it burn

Can’t you just use a virtual machine?

That would ba a massive win in my book, kernel level anticheat is malware.

make it so that they can’t block wine without blocking windows and kernel level anticheat is gone

No, I have no interest in cheating

So? I just want the games to run, I don’t care about that side of it at all, that side of it is essentially pointless to me. There were always workarounds anyway, what does it matter?

Yeah kernel level with hacks is what I’m interested in, couldn’t the wine client give fake kernel level control to them that’s actually in userspace?

That is something I’m aware of but not what I’m looking for, I’m looking for news about workarounds, preferably new news, if there is any

Kernel level anticheat that thinks it’s kernel level and runs in userspace is the best of both worlds though, is it not?

Yeah but that doesn’t count tbh, if the dev has to give the okay we lose a ton of games, and that isn’t what I’m looking for, the dev shouldn’t be able to know it isn’t running on windows

Probably a bot instance being removed

I have possibly the dumbest workaround to anything in history

bindntr=CTRL,C,exec,hyprctl activewindow | rg -q "class: Wfica" && ( sleep 0.02 && hyprctl closewindow class:alacrittyclipboard ; alacritty -qq --config-file ~/.config/alacritty/alacrittyclipboard.toml --class 'alacrittyclipboard' --title 'Office 365 Desktop (SSL/TLS Secured, 256 bit)' -e sh -c 'sleep 0.03 && xclip -o | copyq copy - ; copyq clipboard | xclip -i' ) & ( sleep 0.2 && closewindow class:alacrittyclipboard )

windowrulev2 = float,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = stayfocused,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = noborder,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = noanim,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = noblur,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = opacity 0,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

windowrulev2 = maxsize 1 1,class:(alacrittyclipboard) 

allow me to explain this monstrocity… the clipboard in citrix workspace is broken in a stupid way

it doesn’t update the system clipboard unless you move focus away from the window… and out of focus windows can’t update the clipboard for security reasons… this makes it so that if I hit ctrl c when citrix is open it opens a terminal window that’s tiny, invisible and steals focus that essentially forces the clipboard to work.

nonsense hack, but it works

Yes, that’s valid, but I think it’s very much so short term thinking.

eventually if enough windows things are supported on linux, the question will become why use windows?

once everything works out of the box, laptop manufacturers will say “why are we paying microsoft this licensing fee”

there would have been no other way to win the war, this gives us a chance in the very long term.

eventually publishers may say “why do we support windows?”

the next pillar that I think will fall in our favor is anticheat, once that goes down the sky is the limit for our longterm prospects

https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono seems like this is exactly what I want, actually, might help you if you’re looking for a simpler solution! thanks for the advice anyway though!

That’s actually perfect, thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to switch from nordvpn because it’s ass but i got 3 years for basically free, gonna switch to mull with this as soon as that runs out, awesome!

Ah, so, I should’ve been more clear, I have annoying requirements, I want qbittorrent to run through mullvad exclusively, and i want them to be intertwined and startup with eachother automatically. I don’t want any of my other apps to be running in mullvad, is there a good way to do that? I think the socks5 proxy requires me to have it open and running, and thus everything would run through it, but maybe that wireguard method works around that? not sure, just wondering
