I recently set up 2 gaming VMs using libvirt KVM with GPU passthrough on my Ubuntu install so me and my girlfriend can use the same computer to play games when she comes over. I played a couple games of deathmatch and casual on this setup on cs2 and today I discovered I have been banned. This never caused any problems before on cs:go so I figured it’s fine as this isn’t specifically prohibited by valve either as far as I know.

    Well actually, I decided to not stealth my VM on purpose because most of the time when a game detects a VM and they don’t allow it they just prevent you from playing rather than banning you outright. Like I’d rather not try to circumvent these checks because that’s where you get into territory where you usually may end up getting banned if the VM is detected regardless.
