Any way to avoid that FM16 detects virtual box?

Hi!

I have all my games on my windows through Virtual Box, and like to keep it that way. Problem is just that when I try to launch FM16, I get a popup saying that they have detected that I am on a virtual machine, and that I have to close all virtual machines, etc etc.. Is there a way to fix this? A third party thing, or..? Played FM15 this way without problems..

Thanks!

If you want a definitive answer then you'd need to ask the FM16 devs what method they use to detect a VM, and then we can tell you if that can be circumvented.

Usually the answer will be no, at least not if the programmer is even half way good at his job. Timing discrepencies alone would be pretty bulletproof.
