Ghost Recon Wildlands removes Easy Anti-Cheat, easing modding and Linux usability, as Linux kernel 7.2 debuts with improved hardware support.
In a notable development for Linux and SteamOS users, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands has removed Easy Anti-Cheat from the game. This move, reported by GamingOnLinux, is potentially exciting news for modders, who often face compatibility issues with anti-cheat systems. The change could also make the game more accessible for those playing on platforms like Linux and SteamOS, which have historically had challenges with certain anti-cheat technologies.
Linux Kernel 7.2 Released
Today also sees the official release of Linux kernel version 7.2. GamingOnLinux reports that the new kernel brings several optimizations, bug fixes, and expanded support for newer hardware. For PC gamers, this typically means improved performance and compatibility across a range of devices, a welcome update for anyone using Linux-based systems.
Gaming Releases and Modding Updates
A couple of other updates to highlight include the announcement of Stick It to the Stickman exiting early access on September 23rd. As detailed by RockPaperShotgun, this roguelite beat ’em up has been crafted by Free Lives with a unique take on office life combat themes, and it’s set to feature an “absolutely absurd finale.” Meanwhile, GamingOnLinux highlights the reveal of Sally Face 2, a much-anticipated sequel in the supernatural adventure genre.
In the world of modding, RockPaperShotgun also reports on updates from The Witcher 3 community. Developers behind the mod “The WAR Project,” which aims to restore cut content, are recasting a voice for the character Vernon Roche due to alleged misconduct by a former collaborator. This incident is not anticipated to significantly delay the mod’s development.
