EAC Update v2601.1

Update: We have rolled back to the previous version (v2511) due to a potential issue preventing game launch using virtual machine.


A new EAC client v2601.1 has been deployed for Steam.

This update includes:

  • Improved support of the latest Windows 11 update.

This shouldn’t cause any notable changes, but please let me know if you experience any EAC-related issues here. Thanks!

Hi, sorry i’m totaly new to using Fatshark forum.
Just wanted to say that the Easy anti cheat maj now ban any virtual machine from playing vermintide (i was playing before the maj without a problem, now i can launch the game.)
For reference i’m using a “Shadow computer”.
Is it a definitive decision?

@cyaanure ah! I believe I’ve just responded to your support ticket.

I’ll respond here also - we’ve rolled back to the previous EAC version, could you please check if you’re able to play using virtual machine again now?

Please let me know, thanks!

It work perfectly fine again! Thanks for ur quick answer and reactivity to the problem!

Is this recent? Shadow is no longer allowing vm for me

Hi, I’m new to the site and I’d like to better understand the EAC issue.

I’m using Shadow, and when I try to launch the game I get an error saying that it cannot be started inside a virtual machine.

How can I fix this?

Is there any workaround, or is this a permanent limitation?

Thank you.

Having spoken with Epic, it’s my understanding that EAC does not allow most VM by default, and as updates are released, more will be disallowed.

That being said, in future we should have an option to specifically allow VM for Vermintide 2; but not with our current EAC implementation. This is something we’ll need to explore further.

For the time being though, we are parked on version 2511 and will need to decide on next steps.

@cyaanure we’re looking into possible future solutions to this, and it could be helpful if we can review one of your console logs with Shadow PC used - I appreciate the log may not be accessible due to Shadow PC limitations - but if it is, it would be greatly helpful:
