- rcoveson 8y agoThey broke GPU passthrough setups as well at first. There was some community backlash and they rolled that back, and I believe they also mentioned they intended to work with the wine people on a solution for that as well.
- EvangelicalPig 8y agoHow did it break GPU passthrough? Then again I heard recent versions of VAC detect running under a KVM hypervisor and kick you out of CS:GO servers.

- Teknoman117 8y agoThat's unfortunate to hear that VAC looks for KVM. I was planning on moving my gaming partition to just a VM and using GPU passthrough. It's how I have my work PC setup, figured I'd replicate it at home.
- EvangelicalPig 8y agoSorry to be the bearer of bad news. I plan to reverse engineer VAC sometime to figure out how the detection works.
- IntelMiner 8y ago"they also mentioned they intended to work with the wine people on a solution for that as well" Be nicer if they'd just put the damn thing on Linux. They're already on Windows and Mac after all
- sandov 8y agoThey undid that.
- larrik 8y agoNo they didn't. Some people use a modified client, but that's super risky for a lot of reasons.
- imtringued 8y agoThis might also prevent it from running on ARM laptops with win32 emulation.
- dingo_bat 8y agoI think the number of people playing LoL in wine could be stored in a uint8_t.
- larrik 8y agoIt's a lot more than that, actually. Not millions or anything, though.
