Haven't played in about a year or so, want to pick it up cause my friend has it but the last time I heard about it, the anti-cheat was sort of invasive and ran even on PC startup, and when the game was closed. Is it still like this?

Hi everyone. My first time playing Valorant now that internet is good enough. Never played and I'm also new to streaming on twitch. Is there anyone who streams that would like to help me learn how to play and stream together?
