vmware has anyone tryed

[Delsus]

I tried the benchmark (after some dx issues) and the Square Enix logo lagged like mad when it came up, and into the CS all I was getting was a black screen with the performance graph on and then a white screen nothing more (on the black screen it was at 50) so yeah looks like it will not run in VMware.

Also Indira it's basically what you need, VMware Workstation has more features than Virtual Box, things like Unity mode and VMware tools to enhance the virtualisation, but there are places virtualbox is better than VMware.

And who needs to pay for Workstation....... that's all I'll say on how I um... acquired it /innocentwhistle.

if your just running a VM to play FFXIV, cant hurt to see how it works on your system. you can always hit delete.

I know, just decided to test it for the OP, btw it's been awhile since I used virtualbox, does that recognise the physical network adaptor or is it emulated as well? If it shows the physical one in dxdiag it may work, and for the OP I think there is a Linux version of virtualbox as well.
