Riot Vanguard outright states that virtual machines are not supported (for valid reasons; how do you ensure the guest OS memory isn’t just tampered with by cheats outside?). It doesn’t surprise me that it doesn’t work.
- Youden 4y agoYes, I know Riot has stated that VMs aren't supported. I'm no expert on anti-cheat but other popular games (e.g. Apex Legends) run without BSoD and as far as I can see don't have serious issues with cheating. I don't think this is an issue of technical necessity so much as an issue of there being very few Linux gamers and even fewer using something like VFIO to run games rather than dual-booting.
- smileybarry 4y agoApex Legends has its own troubles of cheating but it’s less seen because it’s a battle royale game, you spectate them “once” compared to playing 20-so rounds against a cheater. And IIRC Vanguard is purposefully strict.
- EE84M3i 4y agoDoes this mean you have to disable Hyper-V to run LoL?
- smileybarry 4y agoNo, League doesn’t use Vanguard to begin with, and Hyper-V is excepted because your OS is the root VM, i.e. another VM can’t manage it. Just LSASS and such, and they’re trusted.
