How can I play McCoy on MacBook

Malwarebytes is right. I would never install this Easy Anti-Cheat thing on my computer.

It’s basically a rootkit.

Yeah you guys are right.
It’s cool to install a kernel driver on your computer that monitors your memory and system calls just to play a game.

ahmynuts

Its flagging easy anti cheat which tends to get flagged as a false positive due to its nature

Because its nature is extremely intrusive.
It has kernel level access to the OS.

Doesn’t mean it’s malicious lol. Do you know how stupid a company would have to be to sell their anticheat to billion dollar companies just for it to be a malicious root kit? They would lose millions in suits.

And literally almost every anticheat nowadays has kernel level access so good luck playing anything if you’re that concerned about it.

You’re the kind of person that would probably plain text reply your password to a fake email from your bank.

A man discovers a Kernel level anticheat, wowowowowow

Whatever makes you feel better man. Keep living in fear and paranoia while I enjoy my life. Mcoc on pc is great btw! You’re missing out!

It doesn’t have to be malicious from the company that provides it.

If/when an exploit is found for it, you wouldn’t even see or know you were a victim of it because it would be happening at the kernel level.

I’m just saying, don’t install it on your main computer if you value your privacy/security.

You're overreacting as usual.

You’re one of the reasons hackers steal billions of dollars a year.

If you're going to be trying to give a statistic, at least make sure it is accurate. However that isn't just hacking, it is also scamming.

Yes. It's so dangerous yet gigantic titles use it.

Are you unaware of the numerous AAA games that use EasyAntiCheat to this day? You think all those are security risks?

If so then dang you must not play a lot of online games

This is why I was waiting for it to drop on Steam before touching it, where they'll be forced to divulge kernel level anti-cheat. I suppose this is a spoiler.

Of course at this point I'm just hoping law enforcement doesn't storm the house and seize my younger kid's gaming laptop. I live in a happy world of plausible deniability.

Let's just say my younger kid has gone through a few gaming laptops for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose. Also my college roommate buddy sold his first cybersecurity business in 1998 and is on his fourth cybersecurity firm and i trust his advice.

Gaming laptops should come in a three-pack for kids of a certain age and temperament.

You know that You sell your soul in the first moment that You give your E-mail, phone Number and information to social media and forums? Just saying...

Do you guys remember how Crowdstrike bricked/bluescreened millions of servers recently?

It’s because it’s kernel level and had one bad update.

Not a chance I would install this on my main computer. Steam doesn’t use kernel anti cheat software for good reason.
