The Isle cannot be launched in a VM at all. Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) detects the virtual machine environment at the kernel level and blocks the game before it even starts — no game window, no menu, nothing. Extensive workarounds were attempted including CPU flag spoofing, ACPI table patching (replacing QEMU/BOCHS strings with real vendor equivalents via DSDT recompilation), and more. None of them worked. EAC is currently unbypassable in QEMU/KVM regardless of how much you spoof. If you want to play The Isle, you need bare metal. There is no way around it.
