Unable to run in a Virtual Machine. Please exit the VM and try again. (142)

What the F EA?! I have played more than 190 hrs on my VM this game, under Steam, and now you decide to stop that with your AntiCheat. Playing on VM is not cheating!!! This is unbelievable. Please can anyone direct me to the information, that playing WRC 24 on VM is not allowed??? EA should have given that information before you buy the game.

Even Call of Duty Warzone is playable on VM's. It's one of the most famous game cheaters are exploiting, but still their AntiCheat allows you to play on VM.

Using a VM as your daily driver is more reasonable than using your PC only for gaming. All that hardware wasted for only one activity.

I really hope you fix this!

    Outright banning VMs altogether to "protect" against cheating is a lazy solution, get better Engineers instead of making us suffer.
     I have 200+ hours of gameplay in many games over the years, VMs are the only solution for non windows users to play games that only run on a Windows OS, Either support Linux and Mac from the git go or allow VMs like you have done for many years with no problems.

    Please fix this, we are paying customers and we have done nothing wrong, The only thing we have done is decide to buy from EA, which is something you should reward us for not punish us.

  • I bought the game and I might as well throw it away after installing it because I have a cheat o:O. Then, there's a message telling me to disable my VM machine. When do you plan to fix this?

  • Please disable blocking of virtual machines, or we must stop buying your games.
