"Cannot run in a virtual machine. Please exit the VM (error 121 or 123)" quite funny "exit the VM" but I can't figure out what to change to make it work, tried custom firmware, smbios, hyper-v, disabling hypervisor, compiling QEMU etc. it worked from the launch on Easy Anti Cheat to about Season 3 I think when they started replacing it with EAAC, it worked well to end of last season when it outright in July of 2025 stopped working at all.
Since EA updated the anti-cheat software from Easy Anti-Cheat, to EA Anti-cheat (Javelin), the games does not even run, it stops with a message that it does not run under a virtual environment.
