Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers (lemmy.ml)

Finally, VAC is a good anticheat, and that works without running deep into the kernel

So this will solve the linux client not working because of crappy kernel level anti-cheat software?

Not all games employ VAC, and it's likely that a game that would employ it in the future would need to fine tune it for the game in question. (VACnet is reliant on curated data from game servers)

nah, am talking about Games with VAC being well known for not properly catching hackers, and i assume this made the anticheat in games better not the steam client itself.
