Alistair McFarlane announces the upcoming TPM requirement for RUST.

That vile bald shitbag announces on X that he plans to make Secure Boot and TPM mandatory by the end of the year.

Alistair : Rust: We’re continuing to strengthen our anti-cheat efforts. From March, server owners will be able to opt in and only allow connections to players who have Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled.

We know not everyone is on hardware that supports Secure Boot or TPM 2.0, which is why we’re taking this middle-ground approach to start with.

This will launch as an optional setting for server owners, but over time we’ll be reviewing the metrics and expect to move towards making this mandatory across all servers.

Adoption rates for Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are now significantly higher and continue to rise, they’re increasingly standard across competitive multiplayer games.

Will this shake up the cheat market?
Will the different players manage to step up to the challenge?
Will it become harder to spoof?
Are prices likely to shoot up?
What do you predict?"

ive seen people selling tpm bypasses on a few occasions but i imagine that would be the solution and heard they work fine on valorant and faceit

My assumption is this

• It will only be enabled for Premium servers

Most spoofers already support TPM spoofing, even most perm spoofers has a way to spoof TPM chips.

I don't know a single cheat currently that is utilizing Secure Boot, the last provider in my knowledge that abused it was Crocus / Dopamine and they are long gone from the scene.

I am not quite sure how it affects the temp spoofer market, but I am pretty sure reported already supports TPM spoofing.

So I dont really see a real impact what so ever, at the worst you spend 20$ per ban using the TPM-SPI headers on your motherboard
