Not to be confused with Denuvo Anti-Tamper, Denuvo Anti-Cheat is Denuvo's attempt at creating an anticheat software. Like many other anticheats it runs at Ring 0 access. In the wake of Valorant's anticheat and all the problems associated with it, there's been a lot of backlash in the Doom community.
For my take, this anticheat is nowhere near as bad as Valorant's. It only runs while the game is active, unlike Valorant's always on anticheat that's been causing problems on boot. That said, I do understand where people are coming from with concerns about Ring 0 access. My main issues I have with this new implementation is that it broke Linux compatibility through Wine and Valve Proton, and that you can not play the single player modes without it installed and running (despite what the patch notes say). Battlemode is looked at as basically a party mode, and the fact that Bethesda is putting in code that is hampering some users experiences with the main game to protect the integrity of it is ridiculous.
