Easy Anti-Cheat

Linux: High

by Epic Games

The most widely deployed third-party anti-cheat, now part of Epic Online Services.

Security model: Client-side integrity checks and driver-assisted detection, with server-side enforcement.

Linux / Proton / Steam Deck policy

Since 2021 Epic has offered a Linux/Proton runtime that developers can enable for free from the Epic Online Services dashboard. Whether a game works therefore depends on the developer opting in.

Execution level

Kernel-mode driver on Windows; user-space runtime on Linux/Proton

System requirements

  • No universal Secure Boot / TPM requirement
  • Individual games may add their own requirements

Proton / Wine module

Toggleable Proton runtime

Runtime downloaded automatically by Steam/Proton once the developer enables Linux support.
