Unable to make 3D graphics work on VMWare workstation 17

[HFox31]

Hi everyone,

I'm running into an issue and been unfortunate solving it attempting solutions I've seen here and there.

I installed VMWare on my host machine (Windows 11 Pro) and set up a VM (Mac OS Sonoma). My problem is that in VM options, I can check the box "Accelerate 3D graphics" but a warning shows up right underneath that says "3D acceleration is not supported in this guest operating system". 

Even though, I'm able to run the VM but as expected, there are some graphics issues. For instance, after few seconds running, the desktop background becomes all white, but I still can use the VM. 

I've checked that my host has 3D graphics on using "dxdiag" and everything seems to be OK. (See attachments DxDiag.txt)

I also attached my mksSandbox.log and vmware.log

My question is, how can I make VMWare let me enable 3D graphics without this warning that seems to troubles the guest graphics ?

I've asked a moderator to lock this discussion.

It is against Apple's licensing agreements to run macOS on non-Apple hardware. VMware could get into legal trouble with Apple by encouraging macOS use in violation of Apple licensing. Therefore this topic is off-limits for discussion in this forum. 

Also, to run macOS on VMware Workstation you had to make unauthorized modifications/patches/hacks to the Workstation software. You've come to a vendor supported web site admitting you've made modifications to their software in violation of the VMware EULA, and then are asking for help?
