Doom Eternal: New Anti-Cheat Software "Could Raise Eyebrows"

▤ Summary

Doom Eternal got its first big update this week with id Software doing a lot of things right as they did with the game itself. Included in the update was a huge DLC, some new content, a new game mode (Empowered Demons), and much more. As the patch notes on the game’s official blog states, the newly added software is called Denuvo anti-cheat. It also assures users that they can easily uninstall the anti-cheat through the Add or Remove option on the Control panel. “Our Anti-Cheat solution doesn’t have annoying tray icons or splash screens, and this invisibility could raise some eyebrows.” The biggest issue, however, is that it uses a kernel-mode driver, which gives it access to the device’s Operating System.
