What anti-cheat does WARDOGS use?
Kernel-level Easy Anti-Cheat, disclosed as its own line on the Steam page. The driver loads with the system and virtual machines are cut off.

The anti-cheat runs at kernel level
Steam carries a separate disclosure line: the game uses kernel-level anti-cheat, specifically Easy Anti-Cheat. That is not a guess or a rumour — it is a mandatory storefront disclosure. In practice: a driver loads with the system, not only while the client is open.
- If you refuse kernel anti-cheats on principle, this is the case to decide before buying, not after.
- Conflicts usually come from old tweakers, overclocking utilities and home-made overlays. Strip those first instead of reinstalling the game. If the client never reaches the menu — a separate page has the step order. Crash on launch →
- A virtual machine is not a workaround: kernel anti-cheats cut them off.
We do not publish or discuss anti-cheat bypasses. Mail like that goes in the bin — it is a direct road to a ban and to a publisher complaint.
Interface languages
The storefront lists 14 interface languages — Ukrainian and Russian are both there. Full audio is ticked for English only; the rest is menus and prompts. So you will hear the fight in English and read the shop in your own language.
The Steam spec is a floor, not a 140 FPS promise
Storefront minimum: 64-bit Windows 10, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 / RX 590 class, about 50 GB, broadband. The recommended block is Windows 11 and RTX 3070 / RX 6700 XT class. We do not publish “leaked benchmarks”. Kernel Easy Anti-Cheat is a separate disclosure: Secure Boot and TPM are often required, and there will be no bypass. A controller is not a promised launch priority — do not expect “console-ready” on 10 September.
