Anti-Cheat

The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), which detects virtualized environments at a kernel level and prevents the game from launching entirely. When executed inside a VM, the game is blocked before initialization — no window, no splash screen, and no menu appear.

Graphics

Not applicable, as the game does not launch.

Performance

Not applicable, as the game does not launch.

Required Tweaks

None effective. The following workarounds were tested unsuccessfully: - CPU feature/flag masking and spoofing - Hypervisor concealment - ACPI table patching (DSDT recompilation with replaced QEMU/BOCHS identifiers) - General VM fingerprint reduction techniques None of these methods allowed the game to start.

General

Easy Anti-Cheat appears to reliably detect QEMU/KVM-based virtual machines regardless of common spoofing or concealment techniques. As a result, the game cannot currently be played in a VM environment.
