Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a guide on how to bypass anti-cheat such as BattleEye in my Windows 11 virtual machine. I'm currently running Proxmox VE as my host with GPU passthrough enabled. I just recently got kicked from a Rainbow Six Siege game because I was using a VM. I'm not looking to cheat, I'm only using a virtual machine because anti-cheat software is very invasive. TIA!

This isn't really guide. More a tool for finding what makes your system look like a VM. pafish is a good tool for detecting vms. It also tells you what gave it away. You can use pafish to find out what is giving you away and fix it.

I've been looking for something like a this for a while. Thanks!

This guide has helped me achieve what you are looking for in virtmanager. I haven’t used proxmox before, maybe there is a similar guide or similar settings apply, but this may at least be a good start.

Great docs, thanks!

I played Apex legends on a VM, before it worked on linux and never really had issues with AC. I'd just say that if you wanna play games with an intrusive AC on a VM, you should just accept the risk and roll with it...

You are just eventually going to get caught and potentially lose your library. Just Olay them normal imo.

And „normal“ would mean a total invasion of privacy and accepting games installing malware? Bowing your head and install bootloader destroying windows on an otherwise fine machine instead of owning your system? Then I'd recommend not playing those games

Do whatever the fuck you want. If you want to skip those games go the fuck ahead.

That's not what they are asking though. Try to keep up and read the question.

They are looking for technology wiork arounds. Which, gasp* shockingly will get you banned.

Image your system before you install the games, or keep two windows installations around maybe?

[-] derbolle@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

that is of course an option. not my cup of tea though. if I need to do things like that to play some games, I'd rather not play them at all and put my time into games from devs which don't actively sabotage linux compatibility. That doesn't mean I don't miss playing for example pubg or valorant

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
