Suggest running Fusion and game in full screen mode as there seems to be an issue reconciling resolutions between the game and the OS when Fusion is running in a window. |

| Fable: The Lost Chapters | Windows XP, SP3 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300GS) | javieraltman | Works excellent, you'll have to tone down the graphics a bit if you have an old video card like mine, though. |

| Wizards and Warriors | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (ATI2600) | TheLoneVM | Great nod to the old Wizardry games. Needs a couple of patches to get it going, see http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/44338-13-wizards-warriors-patch-both |

| Sam & Max: Season 1 | Windows XP, SP3 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300GS) | javieraltman | Works great, if you have a better video card it'll run like you were on Windows natively. |

| Total Annihilation | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (ATI X1900XT) | DarylF2 | Works well, sometime a box appears around cursor but is just a minor distraction; performance is quite good. |

| SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition\ | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro (Radeon X1600) | WelshSage | A little slow during UI updates, but very playable. |
| Spore Creature Creator | XP Pro SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | Mac Pro ATI Radeon HD 2600 | j0nn0 | Needs DX9.0c. Works great, really fluid, connects to Spore site for updates. Had problem uploading video to Youtube but that may be my network. |

| Puzzle Quest (Demo)\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.2 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (Radeon Mobility x1600) | jackfaust | Sluggish, but playable. |

| Galactic Civilization I | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.2 | 2.0b1 (89933) | Macbook Pro (GeForce 8600 GTM) | Sormine | Play very well. Speed ok. Music doesn't seem to work. Minimize and exit to desktop if switching to another space in MAC OS. Older game some most likely less demanding on 3D code. |

| Yahoo's FATE\ | XP SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Mac Mini (1.6GHz Core Duo) | jfriesne | Works well. Graphics were a bit slow until I turned down the effects, now it runs great. |

| SimCity 3000 | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0.1 | iMac (late 2006) (Radeon x1600) | aanhorn | runs well apart from some texture flickering in dialog boxes and interface |
| Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Demo\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | etung | Cursor has a box around it, some menus may have gray backgrounds (not sure if this is intentional). Camera sometimes jerks back and forth when moving. Other than that works well |
| Dungeon Seige Demo\, Dungeon Seige: Legends of Aranna Demo\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | etung | Minor problem with far clipping (lack of fog?), partial inventory screen shows through. Playable. |
| Dungeon Seige II Demo\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | etung | Box around mouse, halos around objects do not render properly. Playable. |
| Narbacular Drop\ | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.5 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | etung | Too much glow around light sources, poor framerate. |
| Ancient Quest of Saqqarah | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0 (116369) | Mac mini (Intel GMA950) | etung | Occasional slowdown and sound stuttering, probably because this was on a Mac mini. |
| Spectromancer\ 0.31 | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.4.11 | 2.0 (116369) | MacBook (Intel GMA950) | etung | Occasional slowdown and sound stuttering, probably because this was on a MacBook. |
| The Sims 2 | Vista Business, SP1 | 10.5.4 | 2.0rc1 (113392) | Macbook Pro 4,1 NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT | anw122 | The game runs, the intro cinematics are a bit jumpy, can't change the resolution past 800x600, graphics weren't bad for the resolution but weren't good, the game was jumpy when trying to move around a lot; I didn't try to install all of the expansions, but read that the ones with Securom make the program crash. |
| Phoenix RC\ | XP Pro, SP3 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI X1600 256 MB | bilboa | Program runs, but at slow framerate of only 25-30 FPS even with display settings on low. Sceneries display fine but models' colors are all messed up. |

Moving clouds, smoke and streamer effects all work. The simulation (with smoke effects aka particles turned off) is fast enough to be quite usable on a fast MacBook Pro, but has some problems...

| Uru Complete Chronicles | XP Home, SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro (Radeon X1600) | cwalther | Game is playable and runs very smoothly, but has moderately severe graphics glitches. Many objects appear black (for some, the texture returns depending on viewing angle); vertex colors and/or shading missing on some objects (appear at full texture brightness), depending on viewing angle; sometimes real-time shadows are also projected towards the light source, not only away from it; black beams from the center of the screen to animated objects; some objects with alpha-blended textures are invisible. |

On MacBook Pros, it helps to manually set the game resolution to the screens resolution. Edit the "ScreenWidth" and "ScreenHeight" values in C:Program FilesFiraxis GamesSid Meier's Civilization 4CivilizationIV.ini and set them to your screen resolution. |
| Everquest | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | glwarner | Mouse disapears when not being moved and there is a box around it when it is moving - most of the time black.

| Dungeonsiege II | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | glwarner | Mouse is choppy and slow to handle.Voice over dialog is normal speed but the text is not - it is slower. Have not tested combat yet. |
| CSI 3: Hard Evidence | XP Pro, SP2 | 10.5.1 | 1.1 (62573) | Mac Pro (GeForce 7300) | glwarner | Voice over will sometimes loop through the same dialog mutliple times. Some graphic issues on certain sceens. It appeas the geomertry is off. Mostly playable. |

However checking "Borders and Labels" or loading kml files that contain a large number of lines (several thousand) will reproducibly hang the virtual machine. Some of the lines are also often misdrawn before the virtual machine hangs. Often the hang also casues problems for the host OS with the host becoming unresponsive and requiring a reboot. Yes and OK Google Earth is not a game, but it uses DirectX, and I yes know it runs natively on Mac OS X, but I need to run with code that uses the OLE/.NET API only available on Windows. |
| Portal: The First Slice | XP Home, SP2 | 10.5.4 | 2.0b2 (107508) | MacBook Pro (Radeon X1600) | cwalther | Game runs, but rendering defects make it hardly playable. Menu screen has small defects but is recognizable (text readable). Once arrived in the game: With recommended graphics settings: screen is black, faint red and green gradients depending on viewing angle, no geometry visible. With minimum graphics settings: some objects are textured with what looks like a normal map, most have no texture at all but just a flat color (including crosshairs, particles, light halos). In both cases: text characters rendered as solid rectangles, stays that way when returning to the menu screen. |

This is the right area to post such things, though it is more efficient if you add your comments to the document rather than commenting. Comments don't scale well and will get out of date, and a table is much easier to quickly scan through.
Under the Actions box on the left, you can select "Edit document". Follow the existing format (it may be easiest to copy another entry and edit it).
COD4 not working either
I am posting a link to better describe the problem with Star Trek Starfleet command.

as can be seen several things are wrong like the entire space station has moved to the left, it is supposed to be in the red box.
I'm having trouble loading Microsoft Movie Maker. Error: "cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available." I'm running Windows Vista as a guest on my host MacPro with 4Gigs of RAM and two Digital digital displays. The video cards are ATI Radeon x1900 XT in slot-1 and NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT in slot-2. Is there a way to get applications such as Movie Maker or Photoshop to work on the virtual vista machine? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Just tested Counterstrike 1.6 and Source with Fusion 2.0b
1.6: Playable at lower resolutions! Though all of the text in the settings pane is garbled beyond readable ... if this is fixed then this will work 100%
Source: Nearly playable .. no text rendering issues like 1.6 has, but there is slight lag even with the settings turned down
Have tested the following games using VMWare Fusion 1.1 (62573) - on iMac 10.4.11 with XP Pro SP2. Also has 2GB RAM & Radeon HD2600 graphic card.
Hospital Tycoon, Space Invaders (30th Anniversary Edition) and Caesar IV.
All install okay, but don't play.
Installed the new MMO game Age of Conan under a VM of XP running on a macbook pro.
Allocated 30g of HDD and 2g of ram, game just crashes with error
Game does not work, see pics

Warhammer Online works with VMWare Fusion 2.0 release candidate 1 -- took me a bit of messing around with different mouse stuff to get it to work, but I finally did.
The first problem I had was that the mouse buttons appeared to be sticky -- I would right click on someone in game to talk to them, and it would act like the right mouse button was held down after that, until I clicked again.
In windows, control panel, system -> hardware -> device manager -> mice and other pointing devices
I disabled the 2nd HID-compliant mouse ( there are 2 on my machine)
(if I disable the first one, the mouse stops working altogether)
I also uninstalled the vmware mouse driver
and windows reinstalled a ps/2 compatible mouse driver
I rebooted, then ran services.msc and stopped the vmware tools
that's basically it I think for the relevant stuff.
One other thing I did, that I think was not relevant
I installed the logitech setpoint drivers -- but when I go into their settings, none of the mouse options are available -- I believe because it is not detecting a logitech mouse -- which is why I suspect it's not relevant
pretty sure those are all the details -- when I look at the ps/2 compatible mouse properties in device manager, under advanced settings they are the default -- sample rate 100 reports / second, wheel detection 'assume wheel is present', input buffer length 100 packets, fast initialization is checked -- the mouse feels like it moves a bit slow in windows also
anyway -- hopefully this information helps someone else get warhammer online working

Anyone familiar with UT2004 Editor? This should be working if you set the Mouse Preferences to Always Gaming mode...
says:
Ok, here's the scoop on how to get Lord of the Rings Online and/or Dungeons and Dragons Stormreach working. Both games use the same engine, and the problem revolves around UserPreferences.ini.
If this file exists, you can change AllowFakeFullScreen=True to AllowFakeFullScreen=False. That should fix the problem and let you play.
If the file doesn't exist, cut and paste the following into Notepad and save as UserPreferences.ini. Save in My Documents\Dungeons and Dragons Online\ or My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\. You may need to create the sub directory. BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR CURRENT FILE JUST IN CASE!

guys i am using windows vista and vmware workstation 6.04 i want to play a mmorpg (A3) simultaneously in host OS and guest OS(windows XP in vmware) is it possible i tried but the game doesnt load 
i want to login 2 characters at the same time so the effort
Don't see Second Life on either list. I keep getting a non-supported video driver issue. Any suggestions?
I don't see Dark Age of Camelot in the Compatibility List, so I thought I give some info on how it works on Fusion. I have a 3 year old Mac Pro 2.66 Xeon Quad Core with an ATI 3870 graphics card (I used to have a Geforce 7300). My OS is Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). So far I've been pleasantly surprised to see how well Camelot plays on Fusion. The frame rates don't drop, and graphics for the most part look good. There are a few quirks with the game; water and fire do not look right and certain effects (such as life-drain on a Bonedancer) our not transparent. Overall playing Camelot on fusion is enjoyable. If VMWare can get some the graphic issues fixed I won't ever again have to go back to Boot-Camp to play the game.
VMWare seems to be ignoring this one. I wish they would respond.
Following up on someone else's earlier post (http://communities.vmware.com/thread/146930) I'd like to know if Supreme Commander will now run in VMWare Fusion 3. Yeah, yeah, I know that even if it does run, it'll be slow... but somehow it's just the principle of the thing and I want to know if (slowness aside) it could work.
I upgraded to Fusion 3.0. Titan Quest: Immortal Throne now works with no problems. Unfortunately, Dark Age of Camelot still has problems. I still can not use reflective water; all I see is a spiral pattern with no reflectivity. Certain effects such as life drain or certain flame animations are not transparent. I also had to turn off dynamic shadows. With dynamic shadows turned on, Jordhiem, Camelot and all the three major cities looked white with just a pale texture on it. When I turned Dynamic Shadows off the Major cites appeared normal.
Fusion did improve certain things. The game is certainly snappier. I didn't do any test but it did seem to have a faster frame rate. I can now see the compass which I could not do in version 2.0.6. Another problem that was fixed with Fusion 3. 0 was the ground lighting issue. During night scenes certain parts of the ground would appear as if it were day; this is no longer an issue. With Fusion 3.0. the ground looks like it should, with no problems.
Dark Age of Camelot almost works in Fusion 3.0. If VmWare can get water reflection working, and fixed the issues with transparency I won't have to go back to boot-camp to play the game.
I've gotten ffxi working to some degree though some characters don't render without shadows, also chat box only works when its in full screen mode, certain peices of armor or parts of armor don't render, some npc's/monsters won't render but their names are there. other than those problems it works nice x.x noticed that vmware has the refresh rate at 85 hertz whereas my monitor is only 60 hertz think that might be the issue? at least with some of the rendering? looks like once those issues are fixed it might be completely playable. oh I'm using the vmware fusion v1.1 release candidate on a mac pro w/nvidea 7300 256, 5g ram with 2g's for xp pro sp2
sorry if im posting in the wrong area i'm new here
