Helldivers 2 will use a rootkit anti-cheat, nProtect GameGuard (lemmy.world)

50/50 chance this breaks Deck and linux support, especially since the commenters' inquiries about it have gone unanswered.

Bogles my mind why a PvE game needs an anti-cheat at all - let alone something as invasive as a rootkit.

If you aren't playing multiplayer, it's incredibly easy to disable.

Even if you are playing multiplayer you can use seamless Coop and turn it off anyways
