How to fix "This Application cannot run under a Virtual Machine"

So while searching everywhere to fix this error, I found something that fixes the error. The game for some reason thinks your PC is a VM if the name of your computer name starts with a "DESKTOP" within it's name. For example, DESKTOP-123ABC. To fix it, go to System -> Advanced settings -> Computer Name. Click "Change" and change the "DESKTOP" to something else, like Jamal-PC, etc, and then restart your computer and it will be fixed. If you have something different than "DESKTOP" header, then disable Hyper-V by going to "Programs and Features" and" Turn on and off Windows Features". Hope that helps. If only I can post this on the forums, but keeps getting cooldown.

Thanks man ! worked for me, all you have to do is uninstall the hyper-v feature and works perfectly kinda of an issue but will try raising it with the developer as well so this can be looked into.

I'm using a Windows 10 Preview build, I don't have Hyperthreading enabled, I changed the PC Name to something other than the default and Parallels 12 apparently doesn't have a 'VideoBiosVersion' key in the registry in it so that's not it either.

I'm still getting the error, any ideas?

Yup, doesnt work for me either. I tried to change the PC Name, didnt work. I went throught the programs and features but couldn't find that HyperV thing. Is it in a specific folder?
