i was right.

edit: I misspoke about valve having kernel-mode anticheat, meant to say valorant. my bad. haha subscribe plz

i always hated how since w8 microsoft has been limiting "admins" to make things easier and less likely to break to the average user, i do get that it is the bigger market, but it dosent take my right to be annoyed at it, and they could easily just make those thing be different with the diferent versions ex: pro and home, and this one could be done by just apliying it to the enterprise version and there you have a version expecific for that type of use/eviroment

Interesting fun fact. Microsoft posted this blogpost on September 12, but if you're on Windows 11, you can go into "Windows Security", and inside of the "Device Security" section you have the following:

– Core isolation
– Security processor
– Secure boot
– Data encryption

If you click into core isolation, you have memory integrity, Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack protection, and Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist.

Per the description provided below each option:
– Memory integrity prevents attacks from inserting malicious code into high-security processes.
– Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack protection prevents attacks that substitute return addresses in kernel-mode memory to launch malicious code.

If you're an user of Epic Games, you'll notice that Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack protection is off, and if you attempt to turn it on, you'll receive an error because of easyanticheat_eos.exe. My advice? do what I did. Uninstall it until it's announced that their anti-cheat is no longer blocking you from enabling this feature. When it comes to entertainment companies we all have a means to vote, our money and the time we spend on said platforms. Will I miss Rocket League?? very very much. Will I put my system at risk? you know the answer.

Epic Games is not above any one company, and they do not reserve the right to stick to archaic practices that could potentially affect their users. AI has changed the landscape of cyber security because any tom, dick and harry can run AI locally or even through online services that gives them knowledge to do harm, or "experiment" with malicious code even if they don't truly understand the consequences.

However if you give this an impartial overview, who stands to ultimately benefit if Epic Games is "unable" or uninspired to make the change? .. That's right! The Microsoft store, and Game Pass… (well and steam but you know).

Microsoft is giving developers new ways to interact with the operating system. Not removing acces to the kernel. Nice click bait tho.

Would have been better in putting the sources.

I have a policy myself that I will never run any game that require kernel access. I think most (if not all) the executable should run just fine without needing administrator privilege

i'd rather have a small chance of getting hacked than playing againist hackers KHM KHM CS2

"A Ransomware author wrote Ransonware code that used a Bug in "whatevers" kernel mode anticheat"
Dude there are thousands of Ransonware coders out there using a bug called "windows"
Imagine using an OS that lets you install programs as an admin that you are then, as an admin not allowed to uninstall anymore

no, microsoft basically says " we think that we as operation system should have exclusive monopoly on spying on every user via kernel access, and all other companies should be stripped off their abilities and forced to buy access from us via some sort of license to use our exclusive kernel spyware that we will install directly into every future version of our operating systems"
now we have many companies asking us for a permission to get access to our kernel, in future we will have mandatory kernel spyware installed without our permission that's the change, and people celebrating this are low iq

How bout now?

real

Valorant anti cheat is still bad btw 💀 I know multiple people that has been cheating for years in immo and radiant

"jenshin"

i hope this is true, i hope i can go back to playing league without the invasive vanguard

They called me crazy when I said having a kernel level anti heat was a cancer for your pc
Look at them now

Best solution = windows puts an anti-cheat/hack built in the kernel.. where now any game developer can make a user access anti cheat that can access an API of the kernel access anti cheat of windows.. to do the " checks" that a gaming anti cheat needs…. but sad truth is that miscrosoft is lazy.. and they never do anything…

Gaben winning again without doing anything as per usual. Valve doesn't have any kernel level anticheat.

This is one of the very, very few W Microsoft had over the last few years in terms of possible changes

"Kernel level anti cheat" can we please stop this white washing and call it what it is?
It is game companies installing malware on your PC

Client-side anti-cheat has never had good reason to exist and still does not. Intelligent methods have always existed to make detections server side and they have only improved. Client side flags audio drivers and other peripherals merely because a kernal level cheater has spoofed such a driver. They are asinine.

I’m going to be very blunt, I don’t care about any of this. All my data is safely stored in cloud solutions separate from my gaming pc – if I was to get hacked I’d just nuke my pc and reinstall window from scratch – as long as I can avoid having cheaters in my games. I don’t care what level of access the anticheat has

Although its a step in the right direction, I rather have Kernel level anti cheat now so I can enjoy playing my favorite fps again like CS and Apex.

These mfs need to level kernels alone
