I'll be honest, at this point, I'm having to choose between my current fury over all the shit this game has going on that has stopped me at every turn from just playing the game on Linux and the fact that I otherwise enjoy this game and can always just continue running it from my dual boot as I have been.
For now, this is an issue I'm going to leave for a time when I'm not fucking furious about this bullshit.
@auravulpes it has kernel mode anti-cheat
@noiob Like I didn't already know that.
@auravulpes then why exactly are you suprised that it detects VMs?
So...
The less awful explanation would be that they just don't think a VM can be powerful enough.
But, let's face it, this is likely just the issue I had with lockdown browser but even less excusable. I mean, the existence of lockdown browser is inexcusable, but at least in theory, it has a reason to exist and not run under a VM. There should be no reason for this piece of shit game to not run on a VM.
