Re: 1 WEEK AND NOT SOLVED ERROR ANTI CHEAT FROM CLOUD GAMING EA FC 25 ( SHADOW PC )

I do not have this game. However, I have another game that uses (I assume) the same anti-cheat: Battlefield 2042. My rig is set up such that I run a Linux host with a Windows 10 virtual machine. The way it's set up, I've been able to achieve near-as-makes-no-difference native performance. Up until today, I had no issues loading into the game even after EA switched from Easy to their own in-house anti-cheat. Tried to play tonight and it's completely borked on my setup with the error message telling me to exit my VM and try again. Since I lack Windows on a host level, trying again is not an option.

I should iterate that I absolutely abhor the idea of cheating in multiplayer games to gain unfair advantages. Under no circumstances had I ever considered using this VM for such malicious purposes. But since EA's anti-cheat has now decided that I am a no-go for committing the heinous crime of using a virtual machine, this forces me to pick one of two options: wipe my PC and get Windows 11, or just convert my rig entirely to Linux, since Battlefield was quite literally the only reason I had Windows anymore. I am not going to get Windows 11. So, given that EA will not cater to Linux users, I have no choice but to cease playing Battlefield 2042 altogether.

It's a shame that it has come to this, but such is life. It was fun while it lasted, for what that's worth...
Feel free to point and laugh; I probably won't see it, but oh well...
