"I would suspect its DirectX 9.0c minimum and DirectX 10 recommended/capable."
Ya, I'll have to wait as it does need 9c. It will come, in the mean time I'll test Ghost Recon, Battlefield 2, Tiger Woods 08 and Leisure Suite Larry 7. If they are fine my faith will be restored. I still need to test boot camp but I really like Fusion.

As with a lot of new game releases... I would suspect its DirectX 9.0c minimum and DirectX 10 recommended/capable. Hence the lack of VM support.

Can you find out exactly which version of DirectX CoD4 requires? Currently, Fusion only supports DirectX 9.0 (not 9.0c or 9.0b, etc.) without shaders. Given that CoD4 isn't even released yet, it probably wants more than that.

There is only partial experimental support for DirectX 9.0. There is a list here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-1287. My guess is that as time goes by there will be more complete support.

I installed Vista Ultimate on my Mac Pro, 4 GB'sof RAM, and downloaded the demo for the new CoD (www.callofduty.com) and I get a DirectX error. I tried in safe mode, no change, then got DirectX 10 and no change. What is the incompatibility? I really need this to work. My friend has the same computer and tried it on his Parallels and it gave a video card error. So I'm a bit lost if anyone wants to try this and find a solution. Awesome FPS game. But I'm concerned as I was bragging that everything works great via Fusion till I tested gaming which is important. I was hoping not to use Boot Camp for all gaming.

Thanks a lot!
