Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Lots of players play on Linux, so I don't see why it would be an issue.For an official response, you can contact the CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznix.1068 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 I want play on windows on a virtual machine made in linux and not specifically on linux.I think there could be a problem because I heard that cheaters use this method.But I just want play in a secure way on a virtual machine.So I thought it could be a problem.

VAHNeunzehnsechundsiebzig. Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 last time I checked, graphics performance in virtual machines was abysmal. You might want to use wine instead. ArmoredVehicles package works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Posting in the Library won't garner you a response. Again, for an official (Dev) response, you must contact the Tech CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crepuscular.9047 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Depends on the virtualisation, I don't think the game will run without fully virtualise your GPUsee this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotlex.7580 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I hear that if you give your virtual driver full control over the graphics card, virtual emulators will manage to give you 99%+ of Windows's performance. however, as far as I know, this means 1. You need a second card in your setup, and 2. You cannot change the setting without a reboot. So you'd be reserving the strong video card for your virtual environment and nothing else (if one is going to reboot to toggle said use of the card, then may as well just install windows in a separate partition). As for how safe it is... I play GW2 in Linux + wine since years ago and I've been fine so far. I have no idea if others have had issues using virtualization instead (since nowadays, a well patched wine gives GW2 performance comparable to native, I wonder if anybody would go the virtualization path instead).
