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 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…

      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

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

          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
