Virtual Machines Beware

[Jerry Hatrick, M.D.™]

probably not a surprise to many, but unless you've configured your VM with some type of hardening, Easy Anti-Cheat does not allow the game to start. already requested a refund, but maybe this will save people some trouble



VMWare, ESXi, ProxMox, HyperV, QEMU, KVM

Why would you run it on a VM unless you are a cheater?

because my computer is a "home server". i don't use windows directly on any of my machines because it's a bad operating system packed as chock-full of spyware and telemetry as they can convince their userbase to accept.

why make assumptions about technologies you don't know or care to understand?

guys the game doesn't run on my highly specialized Arch machine that emulates Windows through 4 different layers of software, what gives???

Ur reaching to the stars. If you use windows without a microsoft account the Spyware and bloatware isn't that bad. I will keep using windows until they are implementing something like Recall.

This has been know for years EAC conflicts with VM machines, when I was a mod on another steam game years back like 10 years back I had to deal with this all the time from people with VM. Sad that this issue is still happening.

Why are you talking about technology implying you cannot turn this off when in fact you can and with a 5 second google search you can find out step by step how ?

bunch of windows throaters in the comments. yap yap yap yap yap. all i said was "if you use a vm, you may struggle" and people attacked me lmao. you can just use software without being defensive.

Realtalk, you're being the weirdo for trying to play a modern game in a VM. The reasons don't matter, it's weird nonsense.

Rofl, projection at it's finest, you are the one coming on here starting and now complaining you don't like the feed back you are getting and everyone not agreeing with you and praising you.

Using vm != cheating. I’m also did the setup using beaffy headless home server, running windows vm inside, and using local game streaming to play anything on my low power laptops from any place at home, it’s just more comfy.

Because your note is helpful and such, but obviously, extremely rare. Like not even 0.1%.

I'm in the same boat. Built my own "cloud gaming server" because my sons both wanted gaming PCs and I can run it as 2-4 VM. Cheaper than building 2 PCs. I don't know if I want Space Marine 2 badly enough to tear it all down.

OP, I heard the game runs in Proton. Maybe it can run in a container. Good luck.

[no dice]

just go the way of the high seas, not buying into a game that forces me to install windows on my hardware to beat the hackers that day one their game anyways

eac did SOOO MUCH LOL

played this game out. it was fantastic. shame we cant have nice things like eac not dominating everything or windows throaters being rude online.

what the hell happened to PC players... This is what people used to literally buy PC's for you lame asshats! Testing limits of what technologically is possible, experimenting, breaking rules learning what they can do by themselves. PC's are literally the master race because they can do all those things, not just fire up your game. Get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ console if the only thing you can contribute is a worthless comment about cheating. You people absolutely suck.

I salute you brother. Push the limits of what is possible. Make mistakes. Brake things. And keep posting about it. Ignore the console peasantry.
