Unblock access to VRChat for Shadow PC users!

Since a recent update, Shadow users can no longer launch VRChat. It feels like we’ve been banned.

After further investigation, we have determined that these issues with Shadow PC are outside of our control, and are not a result of any configurations we have changed. We cannot make changes to VRChat or its configuration that would fix these issues, or future issues with Shadow related to this particular problem.
We understand completely that continued issues with Shadow may come as a disappointment, and that some users utilize Shadow to access VRChat. We feel it too - some of our team members are affected by these problems as well.
While VRChat may work under VMs such as Shadow PC, we cannot guarantee support for any specific VM setup. There are many factors at play and nearly all of them are outside of our ability to affect or control. As we note in our documentation, using VRChat via a Virtual Machine is not directly supported, but is possible to do if you are an interested player with the appropriate technical expertise.
In other words: "it might work, but we can't guarantee it'll keep working, and we won't help you if it breaks." That might sound harsh, but we simply don't have the ability to support these types of setups.
In this particular case, the most we can do is encourage those affected to contact Shadow's support for more information.

Vrchat can request to have shadow pc whitelisted for vrchat so why they taking their sweet time about it

It's becoming quite clear that vrchat and other games devs that utilise eac have access to block vms like shadow pc because to note in that document where got the difference codes it admits that vrchat devs don't support vms so who is the real liars here?

This topic isn't a conforming bug report for Canny, but a question appropriate for the VRChat Ask forum.

This problem is within VRChats control to fix. Other EAC games can work in VMs so it there is a configuration option available to VRChat to allow it. I would also like to reiterate that this problem effects all VMs, not just Shadow PC. It occurs because EAC has become more stringent at detecting VMs and VRChat has not enabled the option in EAC to allow running their game on VMs. Whether this is out of sheer ignorance or penny pinching to use the free or lower tier version of EAC, I don't know.

IT'S NOT JUST VRC, IT'S EVERY GAME THAT USES EAC, IT'S SOMETHING ON EPIC GAME'S SIDE!

We're now in February, and still no change. We know the VRChat devs are lying to us. I for one am not giving VRChat any more of my money or any positive advertisement until this is fixed. My 500+ member community is on the same page as me.

I will be visiting here from time to time to see if they fixed the issuse. Seeing how some of these comments are looking. I dont see it coming back anytime soon. But, i hope to see one day, a comment saying "its back" or "its fixed".

Hey! Im nikki im a shadow user and i recently had some free time to play vrchat. Shadow is the only way i can and it bummed me out seeing that i couldn't due to Vrchat not being able to be ran under a virtual desktop. I know this has happened before and they have fixed it. Will they be fixing it again? I really hope so

ღNikkiღ All I know as of the current moment, is that an update with EAC has blocked ShadowPC and ShadowPC are trying to reach (if not already) EAC. This was a week ago however. This is all I know so far. VRChat sadly cannot do anything as of the current moment.

I'm Shadow PC user and I couldn't access VRChat, too... Hope the team fix it.
