Virtual Machines Outright Blocked on Linux Guests
closed

VRChat's EAC specifically blocks execution in a virtual machine under Linux guests, while Windows guests are allowed and the docs do not mention that linux guests are explicitly blocked. My vm configuration is very typical and is attached linked as the upload is blocked. https://paste.debian.net/1410637/

To address Tupper's comment on the developer stream directly ( https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2750638358?t=01h31m43s >"...or lessen the security capabilities of eac on virtual machines which we also cannot do" )
the current method to play on
any
virtual machine solution is to spoof many devices in the system to appear as real hardware via hacks and patches. This is not a "security" thing VMs get wrong, this is simply necessary evasion when an application is trying to block the execution in virtual machines. I am still very much interested in a direct addressing of whether or not VRC can simply no longer try to detect and block VMs.Knowhies

It's blocked on all platforms and requires settings that hinder performance to work at all now. It works now by tricking EAC into thinking it's not a VM by disabling all hw accel with the hypervisor extension disabled.

Closing as not a bug: Unfortunately we don't support running VRChat on Linux guest VMs on any host OS.
