How to run root-hating games in rooted PDAs (Fate/GO; PUBG Mobile; Genshin Impact)

This article is out of date, pending update that factors in Magisk 24.0.

Intro

Here's my personal guide to make root-hating games such as Fate/GO, PUBG Mobile, & Genshin Impact run on rooted PDAs.

Works on Pie, A10, & A11 (for A11, I've only tested Fate/GO). Not tested on older Android variants, such as Nougat & Oreo.

Requirements

• A rooted PDA, preferably PrivModded. Any kind of Go-ogle dis-services has to be installed if you want to play these games, so I recommend microG if you need it.
• A root-hating online game that you really want to play (such as the aforementioned Fate/GO, PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact). Install them, but don't open them yet, at least until Magisk & Magisk Manager is hidden.

Checklist

Let's check a few things before getting into this guide.

• microG / Play dis-services installed & available. For microG, it doesn't matter if it's user-app / system-app, it'll work either way.
• USB debugging disabled, or, even better, not self-enabled on boot
• MagiskHide is enabled. If not enabled, go to Magisk Manager settings & enable MagiskHide there.
• Magisk Manager app is hidden (and given some random name if you're running > 7.3.5). Follow the "hide Magisk Manager" section below if you haven't.

Hide Magisk Manager

Again, if you have hidden Magisk Manager (and given it another name, if you're running > 7.3.5), skip this step.

Magisk Manager (or just Magisk starting 22.0) > 7.3.5 : First, connect to the Internet, otherwise the Hide Magisk Manager option won't be available. Then, open the Magisk Manager & enter its settings. Select Hide Magisk Manager. Give it a name & select OK, then watch as Magisk updates its Manager app & hides it. Re-open the Manager app & let it fully download the APK. Afterwards, reopen the new Manager app.

Magisk Manager <= 7.3.5 : Open Magisk Manager, enter settings, select Hide Magisk Manager, done. No need to connect to internet.

Enable MagiskHide for the app

Enter the MagiskHide menu (Shield logo for 8.0.0 Manager > MagiskHide) & select the app you'd like to not gain any root access.

Afterwards, connect to the internet (if you haven't connected yet) & open the app. It should just run now. If it doesn't run, make sure you have checked everything in the checklist & MagiskHide is enabled for that app. Then clear the data of that app.
