This is yet another predatory cheap asiagrinder with an invasive kernel level ‘anticheat’. Stuff like this should not be promoted. At all.

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think anti chest should be in stuff like singleplayer or co-op games but competitive pvp multiplayer games it absolutely is and should continue to be the standard whether you like it or not.

So you like giving some random company access to your OS kernel?

You don’t need that for anticheat software and the security risks involved in this day and age practically forbids it.

Not kernel level anti cheat though.

how can you tell it’s using something ring0 wish steam was more clear about this shit

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

DRM is usually known for big games before they are released. You can find articles about how the DRM works online. If it's a new type of DRM, they usually describe how it works.

yea I found it searching for the game name + ring0

but if I didnt already know steam has nothing

annoying to haven to research this issue now for every game I buy

I played Mecha Break during the first closed Beta, and it was so much fun. I didn't even know there was an open beta on now.

Whomever runs that website should try opening that page using the ~~DuckDuckGo~~ Firefox Android mobile browser. It needs some work.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think your browser might just be fucky wucky. Looks and behaves fine to me.

Yeah I don't know, I just used the stock Firefox app. I'm using Bitwarden and uBlock Origin extensions. /shrug

What I long press then 'open in a new tab' what see is something trying to do a pop up and then it interacts with the slide-out side panel, and the side panel doesn't collapse all the way so it's just long vertical side panel bar, that's showing the right side of a search box with the magnifying glass, and it covers about 1/5 of the screen so it makes it really hard to read the article.

I'm using the same setup as you with no issues. Not sure what's causing it for you.

Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.
