Some game developers may choose to prevent Linux users from accessing ranked or competitive game modes. Linux users accessing multiplayer will be reported to online services as running at lower integrity. Linux users will not be required to install a kernel-mode driver, and the lack of anti-cheat software will not prevent their game from starting.Įven though there is no kernel-mode driver on Linux, the userspace game process performs significant cheat detection. For example, campaigns or custom multiplayer game matches. We can confirm that future deployments of Denuvo Anti-Cheat will not prohibit Linux users from accessing single-player and non-competitive multiplayer features of their games.
The question is: how will this affect Linux compatibility of games both native Linux builds and Windows games run through the Steam Play Proton compatibility layer? Back in May, we reported that the Denuvo team did mention they were aiming for support of Proton.Īfter shooting a message over to Irdeto here's what Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director of Denuvo by Irdeto, said in reply:
Now with this Anti-Cheat easily available direct through Steam no doubt many developers will look to use it. Denuvo is one of the most popular DRM solutions, with it often appearing in Windows releases of popular AAA games. Irdeto, the company behind Denuvo and the newer Denuvo Anti-Cheat have announced that developers on Steam can now get direct anti-cheat integration through Steamworks.
