lime comments on 'There are no plans to drop support for SteamOS': The Finals devs commit to Steam Deck and Linux players despite new kernel-level anti-cheat

It's honestly a great game. Fantastic movement, gunplay, and level destruction paired with unique game modes. I haven't enjoyed a shooter this much in literal decades.

It's free to play, which does come with it's own hurdles. If there are enough cheaters, it really does make the game miserable to play. And then people who are just very good start getting constantly accused of hacking...

That said, you can't stop all cheating, and the kernal based approach is always overkill. We'll see what they do.

not really into shooters anymore. arma 3 was probably the last one i spent any time with.

looks like the kernel level anticheat is still not effective, judging from other comments in the thread. the easiest way to fix this is of course with proper dedicated servers and an invite system, but nobody seems to want to do that anymore

Ah, yeah, this one is a very silly, chaotic, and fast paced shooter, so maybe not great coming from Arma :D

The Finals does have private game servers, but not dedicated servers. It's definitely lame that they don't include them.
