[SOLVED] Undetectable VM help

[main dust]

Myself and another user were looking into making virt-manager VMs a bit more functional for a not so fringe use case. Got pointed here.

This is my current XML

@alpine locust Since you were also looking into it, I thought I'd ping you in here.

[alpine locust]

thanks

appreciate it

[crisp prairie]

@alpine locust @main dust in virt-manager?

[main dust]

Yes sir. At least in my case.

[crisp prairie]

what game(s)?

[main dust]

In my case, just Maplestory. Sol wanted something school related I think

It USED to work some time back in my VM.

[crisp prairie]

it's not a vm, it's using bottles

[main dust]

Would I run the launcher installer via bottles, or the .exe from steam with it?

[crisp prairie]

read the guide

[main dust]

Nope, the launcher doesn't seem to like Bottles very much. It seems to crash the launcher or something.

[crisp prairie]

try adding it to steam

[crisp prairie]

did you install the flatpak of bottles, or the aur version

[main dust]

Uhh... I think the aur version

[crisp prairie]

they recommended using the flatpak version

[main dust]

I guess I'll give that one a try. The game IS on steam, but launching with proton also fails.

Nope, that's still just crashing when the flatpak version runs. In the VM, it works for a few minutes, but then boots me out

[crisp prairie]

undetectable does not equal unbanable

[main dust]

I suppose I'm stuck with the queue times of geforce now then. :c

[crisp prairie]

@main dust does it work?

[main dust]

Geforce now?

The flatpak version fails pretty hard. Steam/proton crashes at the anti-cheat. the VM DOES run, but after a seemingly random time between a minute and an hour or so, it boots me out. and Geforce now DOES work, but boots me hourly due to time limits in the free tier. Also queues

Why are you using bottles when you bought the game on steam?

Also heroic and lutris are far better them bottles

https://www.protondb.com/app/216150 also this game is borked not gonna work on Linux

[main dust]

Because Tofu suggested to try it on bottles. I was trying to see about making a VM not be detected to run it in a VM

[thorn meteor]

Well then we are still not anticheat yet

[stable iris]

Well there is no way to make a vm undetectable there are anti cheats that can still detect that you are on a vm like valorant's vanguard
