High Sierra Host crashing and problems with Virtual Machines window and settings - Fusion 8.5.8

[haralds]

With the beta 4 of 10.13 things were fairly stable, but I am seeing a lot of issues with beta 5 and Fusion 8.5.8 independent of the Guest.

Settings for the network are locked, Windows like About and Virtual Machines do not always open. The Virtual Machine Window is often corrupted.

When the whole interface is not crashing, Guests seem to work fine.

The tech Preview of Fusion did worse.

My main system drive is APFS. The VMs are on an HFSPlus drive. I have cleaned and reinstalled. No change.

Anybody else see these issues?

Hello,

Are you using the latest Mac with the touch bar? You may want to try the below:

1) Select "Always Use High Performance Graphics" for "VM->Settings->Display->Battery Life"

2) If the issue still persists, add config option(.vmx file entry) mks.enableGLBasicRenderer = "FALSE"

Hi,

In the Fusion Preview section of the forum there was a mention that beta 6 solves issues in regards to crashing.

Is an application crash when "clicking on Settings -> General for a given Virtual Machine" a know...
