Genuine question: Other than requiring a new(-ish) motherboard, what are the downsides to Secure Boot?
How would secure boot help with cheaters?
Modern anti-cheat programs are very good at detecting cheats.
But their main flaw is when a process injects something before the anti-cheat program starts.
This is how most modern cheats function, to bypass these anti cheat systems.
Ah.....so is this kind of like a checksum to validate the integrity of the program in memory from the hardware level?
I'd be interested in the details here, too, as I know jackshit about anti cheat tech. Independent of the question wheather these pieces of software make your computer more vulnerable in certain aspects, can someone here with the knowledge explain to us how effective these apps can be in order to prevent cheating? Is the secure boot thingy discussed here a price worth paying because it stops cheating reliably, or will this be defeated by hackers in a couple of weeks?Genuine question: Other than requiring a new(-ish) motherboard, what are the downsides to Secure Boot?
Valorant has the same requirements through Vanguard. People still cheat.
So you have faith that what COD is doing will work?The working cheats in Valorant are mostly useless, and the hacking scene has been dead for years.
A few private ones rely on a second PC to read memory externally, but they're expensive, easy to detect, and unlikely to last much longer.
It doesn't mean glitches and exploits won't find their way into the game, but the classic wallhacks and aimbots that were ruining online gaming are finished.
The main issue is trusting these publishers not to mess up their drivers. Microsoft is supposedly coming out with a native solution that will expose an API that should clean this nonsense up.
