The Great Technical Rework
I was told in a trouble ticket to submit feedback, so I am.
Suggestions for Nexon:
1. Swap to Vulkan - DirectX is limiting as is, Vulkan will allow for a lot more mobility across systems (i.e. Not just Windows).
2. Delete NGS - If you need a virus installed on our machines to "prevent" cheating, at least use one that can be used on multiple systems (i.e. Anti-Cheat).
3. Change where Mabi runs - Currently, it apears to require admin permissions on Windows alone just to run the game per se. Anyone has probably noticed to use Discord to stream the game, you need to run Discord as an admin. And based off of other discussions, the game is running in level 0, Kernel Space. This is probably one of the main reasons Mabi is still recognized as a virus by all systems. If this is changed, it may allow the system to run on other OS such as Linux.
4. Potential Optional: Sandbox Mabi - Virtual Systems are more secure, also allows for greater control of the environment the software runs in.
If anyone has other small technical suggestions please chime in as the more of us that say it, the more people they ignore! (I've seen the Linux and Steam Deck Suggestion threads, but not detailed enough to fix the problem.)
Comments
Switch to Vulkan: Vulkan is a more versatile graphics API than DirectX, enabling greater compatibility across different operating systems.
Replace NGS: Instead of using a virus-like program to prevent cheating, consider implementing an anti-cheat system that can be used on multiple platforms.
Adjust Mabi's system requirements: Currently, Mabi requires administrator privileges to run on Windows and is recognized as a virus by some systems. By changing the level at which it runs, it may be possible to run Mabi on other operating systems such as Linux.
Consider sandboxing Mabi: Running the game in a virtual environment can enhance security and provide greater control over the software's operating environment. This could be offered as an optional feature for users who want extra protection.
