Some software, mostly multiplayer games with anti-cheat but also RDR2 singleplayer, attempt to detect VMs. Probably because cheaters use them. I love my pci passthrough setup but these anticheats are a pain.
Hopefully not relevant for uni work, but still worth mentioning.
- taskforcegemini 3y agopubg recently also started to kick me for detecting a vm. currently am using two separate windows installations (one native, one in a vm). will try to switch to one installation that can be used for both usecases, but this will cause headache with drivers, or some that is tied to certain hardware ids (copy protection)
- ookdatnog 3y agoThis may actually be relevant if OP has to take remote exams with mandatory invasive proctoring software :/ Although I'm not sure if these attempt to detect VMs.
- itsmartapuntocm 3y agoThey can and do refuse to work if they detect they're running in a VM.
