Helldivers: We'll "never" add a PvP-mode. This is to reduce toxic elements from the community. We want an environment that's supportive, fun and where we all are fighting on the same side. (twitter.com)

Helldivers 2 works pretty good with proton.

Wait so how does the rootkit bs work when using proton?

Apparently GameGuard is the type of anticheat that's fine with the way other anti cheats have been made available on Linux; i.e. giving kernel-level calls the ol run around to userspace and pretending it's Windows behavior. which is incredibly funny

Hopefully NProtect doesn't go after Riot Games' approach and make their product like Vanguard, which isn't defeated so easily.

So this comment made me do some research.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/proton

Under "Known Proton Issues" the point "Anti cheat". Seems like there is a user-space solution for Proton, avoiding the need for a kernel-space anti cheat.

It's not perfect, and be as paranoid as you see appropriate, but I'm a bit relieved to have found that info. Another win for Proton in my book.

In some cases it fails to run properly which can and does flag users as cheaters. I've had a few long back and forths with a few different support teams to get accounts unbanned for exactly that.
