If the game throws such error, and it didn't in the past, then either something on the VM side changed, or the game got a patch and it now checks if it's in a VM or not. The latter cannot be solved, except running the game native. The game creators obviously don't want you running it from a VM, probably due to debugging/reverse engineering possibilities. Hence we won't help you with that.
