I think the problem is that game publishers also want the cheapest and laziest solutions. What EA (and others) are doing now are basically "give us full control of your computer so we can do whatever we want" with their kernel level anti-cheats. Server side anti-cheat requires more processing that they have to pay for, and requires more work to develop heuristics and other algorithms to detect cheaters.

Look to Minecraft servers like Hypixel for how anticheat should be done. You can completely hack your client, but your every movement is scrutinized by the server and only the data you need is received. This cripples what cheating can allow you to do without using client side anticheat and still enabling mods that improve quality of life.

We'll see if Valve's partnership with Arch expands, it's been suggested that Valve could do signature verification on the OS as a fork of verification.

It would be nice of Valve could put this issue to rest considering its the top blocker on some leaderboards games.

Personally I hope they solve it by making it "opt-in" for "Verified Multiplayer" as opposed to opt-out 'take it or leave it' as many games get canned robbing purchasers of their ability to enjoy abandoned games.

Yep. I played Apex Legends since day one. About 2 years ago I discovered that on PopOS, it ran at 1440p, no upscaling, and was 20 to 25% faster with almost zero stutter.

It was a huge jump in stability and made the game enjoyable to play.

I quit playing about a year ago, but I will never go back to playing it on windows. So I guess that means I can no longer play Apex.

Yeah, I agree.

I played about 30 min then uninstalled back when I was still on Windows.

I can’t wait for the media to report on this!
