Hide application from seeing it's running on a virtual machine?

Good evening,

I was finally excited to have Tibia installed on my Qubes laptop but as soon as I hit “Ok” to enter the server, I was hit with a big ol’ NOPE

Does anyone know if it’s possible to hide from the application that it’s running on a VM?

Edit: Setting to HVM does not work.

Thanks much,
V :saluting_face:

It’s very hard to hide that you’re running in a virtual environment, in fact “systemd”-based machines have a built-in command, systemd-detect-virt, exactly for detecting this. And almost every virtualization framework has documented ways for the VMs to detemine that they run under the respective virtual environment.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for the information! It looks like I’m way out of my depth to run Tibia on Qubes OS, then. :sweat_smile:

I’ll mark your reply as resolved.
