    Does anyone have proof that this is less/more effective than kernel level anti cheat?

    Please provide factual evidence, not hearsay. That’s % cheaters detected vs % cheaters not detected scaled by the overall player base.

      Nobody can have proof of that, because no such proof can ever exist. How would you ever have a proven correct number of cheaters not detected?

        So what’s the point of an anti cheat then if you don’t know how many people are cheating, how many people are not, and you don’t have confidence that the anti cheat is 99% effective at the very least?

        Please provide proof that games with kernel level anti cheat have the same rate of cheating as games without it.

          A game blocks cheats or it doesn’t. Only cheat providers and gaming companies will have those numbers and I’m not sure they are going to release them.

            Thanks for letting me know. So we don’t have any proof at all that these anti cheats are effective? I’m not even saying which anti cheat. Just saying in general.

              Depends on your definition of effective. Both are still certainly too much. I haven’t seen one that’s 100% effective.
