Unless it actually behaves like malware and attempts multiple workarounds to obtain root privileges that I should know about, it does run in userspace for me.

Perhaps later today I'll spin up the game and check lsmod, but if I'm wrong that's a massive black flag that has absolutely no chance of being legal no matter how many eula roofies they spiked my drinks with.


Done, no weird kernel module was loaded: unless nProtect is pulling a sneaky, it's running in user mode.

This is a subject I've been meaning to start researching and poking around with a bit. Due to work/time requirements, I haven't been able to run a profiler on anti-cheat services on either of my Windows or my Kubuntu boxes. Any information that you're willing to share is much appreciated. Thank you, in advance!

I'm not using a VM, I don't think it would work with Windows + the kernel level anticheat; I also haven't tried poking around with the AC, I guess it does prevent simple memory manipulation with things like scanmem but I'm not willing to risk 40€ just for science.

I'll try doing the lsmod thing and edit the comment you replied to, in a bit

Thank you for your service

Without people like you we’d all be relying on hearsay… I mean like even moreso than relying on a stranger’s comment :)
