Vanguard support for Virtual Machines

[codetit4n]

Valorant can be downloaded and installed on apple silicon devices using some Virtual Machines, but it can't run because of vanguard. Please make vanguard work on Virtual Machines.

Vanguard is a kernel driver. Kernel drivers cannot be run on virtual machines because they're on the same tier as the local OS. That's a big part of what makes it valuable as an anti-cheat solution.

So if i am able to run windows using Bootcamp this problem will be solved?

I have not done that personally but from what I understand, yes, I believe you can. I found the article below about someone who has claimed to have done it:

Some people like me tried to use a QEMU KVM with GPU Passthrough (passing the host GPU to the VM) and it doesn't work too. KVM is a Type 1 Hypervisor (VirtualBox is type 2), how can it break ?

Because they still can detect vms and ban them but there is a approach of bypassing it:

If some users manage to fix the vanguard issues of this project it will work with kvm
