Show threadWORM MOTHER1d ago

For a year or two I was just able to play anything without problems. Then EA anticheat figured out how to detect my VM, and nothing I tried worked. I figured this was kind of a good thing because I have better things to do than play Battlefield. Last week EasyAntiCheat updated, and now it has figured it out as well, with seemingly no documented workarounds

The issue is that when I'm back from work, I don't want to be editing XML files, recompiling QEMU and rebooting for several hours. if I'm not able to start the game trivially I'm probably not going to play it at all

At the same time, I can't really run Windows on bare metal, since I'm using the same PC as a remote build server, and in the future a network storage controller, which sucks to do without Linux. At this point, I'll take any suggestion I can get

@Agatha if you only use it to play games you could consider just(tm) running them on linux. Between steam and lutris it worked for me so far without having to touch settings for the most part. But I also probably rolled very lucky with the games I wanted to play combined with my system

And I guess I did stop playing escape from tarkov but that's probably a benefit

@lunathemoongirl the majority of games that complain about a VM will also not run under linux. this would also require me to interact with a graphical linux system, which I would like to avoid

@Agatha fair enough, yeah i guess if they have vm detection
