As mentioned recently in our Ensuring Fair Play article, we want to continue improving our anti-cheat solutions and more accurately detect foul play across the Rust Belt.
Following a positive rollout in THE FINALS, Denuvo Anti-Cheat will also come to ARC Raiders starting May 19th, initially to a limited player pool, with plans to expand after close monitoring.
We will not be using Denuvo’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) service, and are working to ensure minimal impact on performance.
With Denuvo Anti-Cheat and Anybrain, we are working to strengthen ARC Raiders’ systems even further. Keep sending us reports of any information that you believe might help us do so, it’s highly appreciated.
So does that mean you cant play arc on linux anymore?
They already did the same thing in The Finals, and they just use an anti cheat in user space for Linux users. All is good in the hood.
The article mentioned that they did the same thing with The Finals, and that game has reports on protondb saying it’s working fine as recently as two days ago.
I’m hopeful this won’t be a problem based on that, but I don’t know for sure.
I think generally it’s compatible with proton and Linux but still I’m not a fan of Denuvo so I’m not about to find out since I’ve already kind of fell out of the game.
