    This is yet another predatory cheap asiagrinder with an invasive kernel level ‘anticheat’. Stuff like this should not be promoted. At all.

        DRM is usually known for big games before they are released. You can find articles about how the DRM works online. If it’s a new type of DRM, they usually describe how it works.

            Steam has it listed on the demo, and it will likely be listed upon release, not sure what their stance is on pre-release, but this is a requirement now on steam to list it.

                It’s under the features section (where it says co-op, controller support etc.). Should be highlighted in yellow for all 3rd party requirements (including kernel and non-kernel anti-cheat).

      I don’t think anti chest should be in stuff like singleplayer or co-op games but competitive pvp multiplayer games it absolutely is and should continue to be the standard whether you like it or not.

        So you like giving some random company access to your OS kernel?

        You don’t need that for anticheat software and the security risks involved in this day and age practically forbids it.

        How did you miss the important specificity of “kernel level”? No one is hating on “normal” anti-cheat, but kernel level is not acceptable, which is why just that has been the thing people have hated for several years.

    I think Steam should ban all kernel level AC games. Unaware users shouldn’t be exposed.

    Saw a sponsored twitch stream of it yesterday. The stat changing mods on lootboxes is suspicious as hell and goes against the “no pay to win” promise they stated a while back

    On a side note, This game is unbelievably horny goo(ne)d god

    I played Mecha Break during the first closed Beta, and it was so much fun. I didn’t even know there was an open beta on now.

    Whomever runs that website should try opening that page using the DuckDuckGo Firefox Android mobile browser. It needs some work.

        Yeah I don’t know, I just used the stock Firefox app. I’m using Bitwarden and uBlock Origin extensions. /shrug

        What I long press then ‘open in a new tab’ what see is something trying to do a pop up and then it interacts with the slide-out side panel, and the side panel doesn’t collapse all the way so it’s just long vertical side panel bar, that’s showing the right side of a search box with the magnifying glass, and it covers about 1/5 of the screen so it makes it really hard to read the article.

          I’m using the same setup as you with no issues. Not sure what’s causing it for you.

            Cookie settings would be my guess; not privacy friendly site maybe.

                Any thoughts then and what could affect one Android app but not all the other installations of the same Android app?

                As a software developer, I can’t think of very many, assuming we’re both correct about having the exact same extensions installed and using the same version of the browser.
