No? EAC supports Linux, Valve and Epic made it so easy they don't even have to touch the EXE, just ship a linux native library with the game.

I'd be surprised if it didn't have an offline mode (which any souls game has), I'll be playing it offline as well with the same reason (mods and reshade).
Oh, yeah, I suppose I'm talking more about the anti-cheat feature being completely disabled when in offline mode or whatever. I'd rather not have to jump through hoops to get CE working with it.
Some Linux folks werent too happy to see this but most of them seem to be taking a wait and see approach. Hopefully From/Bamco does what needs to be done here.
I know that this is the same anti cheat user by Fortnite and a few other games. It's really good and reliable.
After the problems with DS1 and 3, is expected I suppose. At least is not Denuvo or something like that, but yeah, still bad for people who want to play offline and don't want this kind of things in their PC.
Sooooo, Linux users are basically shit out of luck, at least at launch. I do not believe FROM cares that much about the potential Proton users. I'd love to be proven wrong, especially now with Steam Deck maybe causing them to ship the game with the Linux library outright.
Well, unless they offer a way to disable it or a seperate EXE, i imagine it could be. I know with games like 7 Day to Die, you have to disable EAC to run mods with it. I
Considering its FROM and not a seasoned PC developer, I have doubts in its implementation when it comes to mods and cheats for challenge runs...maybe if you do that stuff in offline mode, EAC won't ban you :P
I'd be pretty surprised if there wasn't denuvo as well being such a massive release.
I doubt this will be any different than the previous souls games but now there is any anti-cheat. Shouldn't this have an opposite effect on the likes of you who wanted FROM to do something about cheating in Souls on PC in the past?
Maybe somebody with more knowledge can speak to it but this seems entirely kneejerk due to the recent hacking issue. I could see them just wanting to do something to make sure the newest release gets some assurances(assuming EAC can offer that) vs just putting the game out there and being seen to do nothing.
In other words, I expect a lot of friction with the PC Souls community moving forward.
I really hope there's an offline mode, I love modding souls games.
Bandai Namco hasn't put Denuvo in any of their games for awhile now.

Apparently there been reports of people getting banned in BF2042 for using MSI afterburner and Logitech G Hub. Guess i will have to remember to shutdown G hub before playing...
Regarding Anti-Cheat on PC in a FROM game, a Funfact..
Dark Souls II Vanilla actually had VAC activated at launch but FROM had to disable it cause it wasn't letting VAC banned players in OTHER VAC enabled games where they were banned, login or play Dark Souls 2 on STEAM.

When the anti-cheat solution is far worse than the chests. Any good anti-cheat measure should be server-side.
The game never actually had VAC, all it did was ban you if you had been VAC banned. There's no evidence it had VAC in it itself.
it depends on the game, Singleplayer of course. I played AoE 4 a bit and the game plays so slow without cheats it's not really fun.
For everything Multiplayer i agree with you.
People with Jailbreak'd PS4's can't play online, so nothing to worry about that.
If you are talking about the RCE issue, they have acknowledge it and are working on a fix, there is no reason to think it won't be fixed at launch.
Halo MCC had the option to start with or without EAC enabled.
It would split the players in one group who wants to play without mods/hacks and one who allowed it.
It's the best and most elegant solution, and hope From Software also uses this.
How do you propose that should work for client side manipulation, such as wall hacking? And remember, it's not always practical to "just not send things the client can't see", due to the logistics of culling out data from the potential view frustum being potentially computationally expensive.
(Plus doing that too strictly while also allowing the client to predict movements in flight would cause constant pop in anyway.)
Tracking how the player moves and what is he aiming to against things he shouldn't see but the server can. There are already fan-made anti-cheats for old games like CS1.6 that do this server-side.
Uff - I hope they are not banning me for any accidental non cheating software like G-Hub, Afterburner or some Roccat software. I also hope the port is competent enough and we won't need any mod to make it run stable or upgrade the resolution or unlock fps.
I you get banned for nothing, can you still play the game offline? Or are you banned from playing the game altogether?

Unfortunately, realistically yes. Valve has worked with Epic to make it as easy as checking a tickbox in their EAC account and including the .so file next to the .dll file that they already include, but so far that seems to be too much work for every developer using EAC.
At this point I think ANY developer required action is too much to expect for Linux support, even a tickbox on a website.
Indeed that's a good idea, as long as what you're actually tracking is an aimbot (on target percentage can be estimated to be uncharacteristically too high for objects moving fast at a close range, or indeed behind a wall).
If you aren't tracking for aimbots but just players using a wallhack alone by the potential FOV and being behind a wall, I could see the potential of this producing false positives for players who are just plain good at listening for players behind walls and predicting movements. I could even see that happening completely by accident by a player not even trying, if they are just hanging out in a spot of a map that would have good visibility of a map that's otherwise obstructed by a wall.
Edit: unless you do pattern recognition, does a players camera movements seem to sometimes follow anothers movements who they shouldn't be able to see or hear, especially if the movements aren't constant. It wouldn't be foolproof as you'd still need to set it to a somewhat high probability to clear out false positives, might have to do some initial training when you launch your game, but it's certainly a good idea conceptually. However while this does handle your average FPS, this won't really cover every game, not always. It's also not exactly a universal concept to implement, it's almost a given that lots of games would need to reinvent how to do such a thing to fit their own engines specifications and design, whereas EAC is scanning the environment the application is running in instead, it doesn't need to know how the assets behave.

Ew, I played a ton of online in Souls games on PC and never had problems with cheaters.
I'd rather they didn't put this fucking garbage in the game.
