Description
i did some digging the template feature seems broken for games like enshrouded
Excellent — that confirms it. 🎯
Diagnosis
The GPU-PV setup is working and Enshrouded itself works correctly in ESTest.
The problem is therefore with the original GuestGamingVM storage configuration, specifically its differencing VHDX chain:
GuestGamingVM
└── disk.vhdx ← differencing disk
└── GuestVM\disk.vhdx ← parent/template
That VM was generating thousands of Disk Event 153 retries when Enshrouded streamed its assets. The clean ESTest VM uses a standalone VHDX and has 0 Event 153s, while the game works.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the GuestGamingVM storage configuration and its differencing VHDX chain, then compare it with the standalone VHDX used by ESTest. Check the Disk Event 153 behavior while Enshrouded streams assets; done means the template-based setup runs the game without those retries.
