Anti-cheat alerts

Incidents that break games or put accounts at risk for Linux and Steam Deck players, with the developer's response and any known workaround.

These alerts are curated by maintainers, and every entry cites a source. We don't run automated detection of false-positive ban waves, so a quiet page doesn't guarantee a quiet week.

    Farlight 84 bans Linux players

    Per community reports, the game began applying 1-day account bans with an explicit Linux-denied message in August 2025. It had replaced Easy Anti-Cheat with NetEase Yidun in September 2024.

    Developer response · Acknowledged
    In September 2025 the developer addressed Linux players in a video, grouping Linux among what it calls abnormal environments.
    Workaround
    None known. Don't play this game on Linux.

    glibc 2.36 broke Easy Anti-Cheat games

    Easy Anti-Cheat games failed to load the anti-cheat module on systems with glibc 2.36, which dropped a section EAC relied on. Distributions reverted the change.

    Developer response · Resolved
    Distributions, Arch among the first, restored the missing section.
    Workaround
    Update glibc. If you installed a patched glibc-eac package to work around this, remove it.
