So, I got into vfio a few years back when I switched to Linux, just when proton was starting to become a bit more relevant because of the upcoming Valve gaming handheld.

Nowadays many people have ditched their windows virtual machines to play games, because many games we want to play already work. But… Sadly there’s still some titles that are very strict on anti-cheat.

Then comes the reasoning of this post. It has been long since I’ve last looked into vfio tweaks because I left reddit shortly after getting interested on vfio.

TLDR: Please share the xml tweaks that you have applied to your gaming vm’s to improve anti cheat compatibility, I will be thankful and hopefully we will improve each others setups.
