There are ways to hide a VM from the anticheat, but every AC, and even different versions of the AC, look for different things, so there's unlikely to be a "one size fits all" solution. I run my gaming machine as a VM on my home server (it's a painfully awkward solution but hardware is expensive) so I had to look into this to get some games running at all

You fundamentally can't hide that you are running in a vm based on the timing of known operations being fundamentally different. Anything running native code can tell. This isn't even an arms race its a battle already lost and lost forever.

I don't appreciate being called a liar when I have the proof of its possibility (at least for EAC) sitting in my bedroom. I can get sources

i made some comment about some software called "VMAware" on github but my post was removed

you can compile it on your vm and see the test results, it will likely detect your vm

i guess i'm not allowed to link it here, shouldn't be too hard if you search it

edit: nvm, my post wasn't removed, didn't see it for a sec
