Embark Studios is rolling out Denuvo Anti-Cheat for ARC Raiders, replacing the previous Easy Anti-Cheat system. Embark Studios is updating ARC Raiders with Denuvo Anti-Cheat to improve game security.
Embark Studios addresses kernel access restrictions causing boot failures for Steam Deck users.
The switch targets PC players running Windows and Linux through Steam's Proton compatibility layer. The new Denuvo Anti-Cheat system replaces Easy Anti-Cheat to provide a unified security solution for the game's online modes.
Denuvo requires deeper kernel access than Easy Anti-Cheat, which breaks the game on Linux builds. The incompatibility stems from restrictions that do not exist on native Windows installations.
Embark Studios is currently working on a fix for Proton compatibility issues affecting Linux users. The Denuvo Anti-Cheat update is causing ARC Raiders to fail launching for users running the game through Proton on Linux systems like the Steam Deck.
