    I was watching a video about extraction shooters and it mentioned a F2P Chinese one. I wasn’t that interested in it, but I wanted to give it a try to see what it was doing differently. It didn’t run though, because almost all Chinese games have kernel-level AC. I figure it’s not a big loss. I own EfT, and I’ve got other extraction shooters to play, especially ARC Raiders now.

    That was the last time, and the only time in a very long time, that a game I tried to play didn’t just work.

      ARC Raiders is what I’d be playing even on Windows.

      An extraction shooter where there is a common enemy creates a lot of spontaneous cooperation. People are still dangerous, but seeing a person isn’t a life or death situation like in EfT.

      kernel-level AC

      This sounds like they did you a solid by not working. I’ll have to look up this genre of shooter, though; not something I’ve heard of before. I tend to be too easily annoyed for anything that isn’t single-player or local co-op these days, although some part of me still remembers some MMOs though rose-colored nostalgia glasses.

        I pretty sure I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as EfT or definitely not ARC Raiders, but I still wanted to see what they decided to do differently. Yeah, they probably saved me some time.
