Hi Guys,

I tried to search before asking here but with no result.

My questions is I know we can't play some games because of the anti Cheat and Linux but I want to know if I can play this games with anti Cheat on Linux if the game is pirated.

I know I will not continue to access the multiplayer and for games that is only online is a no but for games like battlefield etc...

    Provided the game isn't kernel level anti cheat your fine. Most KLAC games are online only/mostly such as valorant/apex and therefore aren't cracked.

    BF6 SP was cracked I believe but I don't know if that works on Linux.

    Where winds meet is an example. It apparently has anti cheat but works fine on Linux.

    Thanks for your reply my question is if someone that normally use Linux and play cracked games if games like BATTLEFIELD that have anti Cheat that don't work with Linux if they work If the game is cracked

    KLAC is for online, very few cracked games will work online regardless of whether they feature anti cheat.

    Unless you mean running a cracked game on some sort of private server that allows pirated copies?

    I don't want to run it online.

    For example battlefield 6 or older ones have anti cheat and don't run on Linux.

    I want to know if I find the games cracked if I can play it on Linux the single player or the game will not work because of the anti cheat

    Games you pirate will have the anti-cheat removed as part of the cracking process, so yes, single-player will work fine, 98% of the time. Some cracks can be faulty, but this is rare.

  • Piracy does not remove anti cheat. Crackers can remove it but there is a very less fraction of players who are unhappy with anti cheat on in single player so crackers don't even care removing anti cheat.

    Although the game developer has to be absolutely brain dead to make anti cheat mandatory in single player. For eg. Rockstar games is a goood example of studio who have mandated battle anti cheat before going online but in single player you have the option to turn it off. But in games like crew2 from ubisoft, you have to have anti cheat enabled at all times to play the game.

  • A lot of those games usually have Denuvo anyways which is a program that makes it hard to crack the game. A lot of them are not pirate-able specially new games with it. You can do offline activations however check out Denuvo pub on discord
