For many people, VRChat serves as an essential outlet—it's a place of therapy, a hub for hanging out with friends, and a platform for building meaningful relationships. Recently, however, the implementation of Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) has effectively banned all users accessing VRChat through virtual machines (VMs) like Shadow PC. This has resulted in hundreds of users experiencing a complete blackout from the game, stripping them of their digital community and support network.

Using Shadow PC has been a viable option for several players who rely on it for running applications that are too demanding for their personal hardware. Until recently, it was possible to enjoy VRChat on Shadow PC without any issues. The recent ban has raised significant concerns among the affected users, who suddenly find themselves cut off from a virtual world that plays a substantial role in their mental health and social well-being.

This is not the first time the community has faced such a challenge. Similar issues have emerged in the past and were resolved much quicker than the current predicament. The delay in addressing this problem has left many feeling frustrated and neglected, yearning for a swift resolution so they can return to their beloved digital haven.

We believe VRChat and Shadow PC can work together to find a solution that considers the needs of VM users while maintaining the necessary security measures. It's imperative to revisit the current implementation of EAC to ensure that legitimate Shadow PC users are not unjustly penalized.

We call upon the developers of VRChat and Easy Anti-Cheat to prioritize resolving this matter. By doing so, you will restore access for hundreds of users who rely on Shadow PC, thus allowing them to reconnect with their virtual communities.

Please sign this petition to urge the developers to restore access to VRChat for Shadow PC users. Your signature can make a difference in ensuring that everyone has equal opportunity to participate in the vibrant world of VRChat.
