[vfio-users] Steam blocking VMs in csgo?

[Brandon Ganem]

Just got disconnected again after being able to play. I'm not sure what
else I can do. I've got the following in my xml:
  <features>
    <acpi/>
    <hyperv>
      <relaxed state='off'/>
      <vapic state='off'/>
      <spinlocks state='off'/>
    </hyperv>
    <kvm>
      <hidden state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>
