How to play Valorant on a virtual machine
Honestly, playing Valorant on a VM (virtual machine) is a tough cookie to crack. Valorant's anti-cheat system, Vanguard, is super strict and designed to prevent the game from running in VMs for security reasons. Your best bet? Install it the old-fashioned way on a Windows PC without a VM. Keeps things simple and cheat-free!

Short answer: you can't. Vanguard, Valorant's anti-cheat, says a big no-no to VMs.
Tried it once for the kicks, can confirm it's a no-go. Vanguard treats VMs like they're the plague. Stick to a real PC; save yourself the headache.
