Ok like, what the actual fuck? How is this ok with any privacy policy? I have never noticed this because any game I played ever showed this menu to me. Is there any way to not let this fucking “anti-cheat” (looks more like a trojan) to steal every single data from my activity?
If you want privacy while playing games with anti cheat, you better have a separate SSD with its own Windows install and nothing on it but the game.
My Windows partition is basically just games and audio software for this very reason.
Or use a virtual machine
Anticheats block VMs faster than a social media user recieving an unsolicited message 😳
While true, the things they usually check for are easily modified; VM-named drivers and virtual hardware, 2 or fewer CPUs, a few registry paths.
Linky for more info/ how to do this?
The useful guides aren’t publicly available because if they were, antivm checks would just get updated.
But using VirtualBox as your VM is the first step; you can’t easily rename the components in the closed source VMs. Then compile it yourself, but first do a search and replace through the code replacing occurrences of vbox and VirtualBox with something else.
Oh duh, this makes sense. What about GPU passthrough?
Qemu can also easily evade anti-cheat, iommu passthrough or not. Lots of great guides over at the level1techs forum.
Not necessarily but you need to configure it to behave like a real machine
And no decryption keys for other attached drives.
