Windows 11 VM hide VM status

[MichaelBernasconi]

I'm trying to get a Windows 11 gaming VM to work. GPU passthrough went very smoothly and my benchmarks so far show that the performance is almost identical to bare metal. I have, however, run into an issue with easy anti cheat.

What I have done so far:

• Set "-cpu host,hidden=1,-hypervisor,kvm=off" in the VM config
• Use the "LSI 53C895A" SCSI Controller instead of "VirtIO SCSI single"
• Use Bus/Device "SATA" for the disk
• Set proper smbios and smbios1 fields (copied from the host)
• Use the "Intel E1000" network card.

I installed Windows 11 from scratch with all of these modifications. When I check the task manager windows no longer seems to know that it's a virtual machine. But EAC still detects it. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Did you find a solution? I'm mainly trying to run Valorant but maybe this helps

I did. I wrote a guide on how I got my setup working here. I did not test Valorant specifically. So your mileage may vary.
