Re: "This game will not run in a virtual enviroment" Error

Hi @Bready_To_Toast,

Just checking: are you getting this error for just a few games, or all the games you're trying to play?

On a side note, I have a feeling this might be due to your machine's specs rather than Windows itself. For instance, the system requirements for Dead Space include needing a dedicated graphics card in addition to your CPU.

You could try the following steps:

Disable Hyper-V

Hyper-V is Microsoft's virtualization technology and could potentially cause the game to think it's running in a virtual environment.

  1. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off.
  2. Uncheck Hyper-V and restart your device.

Check for Third-Party Virtualization Software

Ensure that any third-party virtualization software (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox) is not running or conflicting with the game.

  • Close any virtualization software and services running in the background.

Hope this helps!
