I ran into performance issues with them on my older hardware that I didn't have with vmware. When I started in with virtualization/emulation, I messed around with QEMU (again, Linux) and then did quite a bit in VirtualBox. I believe enough in it that I personally bought it and upgraded it several times (even though as a personal user, the license would have allowed me a free license). Workstation lets me manipulate the ESXi server with my Linux box (before I had to use the vSphere client on a Windows machine). I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 at home that has ESXi on it. For work, we use ESXi (a lot - because of things that don't work in Hyper-V) and deploy product on Linux or UNIX. For work, I have stuff that works in vmware that doesn't work in Hyper-V. VMware Workstation/Player installs both on Windows and Linux and I prefer tools that don't lock me into high-cost operating environments. I'm a Linux user wherever possible/reasonable (and have run LOTRO in Linux since I started playing in 2016). Out of curiosilty: why did you opt for vmware rather than hyper-v? vmx file and added a line (after another one that also started with "mks."): This answer was the golden ticket for me. I could landscape relatively well, but there's no way I'd want to use this in a heated battle.Īfter digging around a bit, I stumbled across How to disable mouse integration in VMware Workstation Player?. I tried a few other things, but they didn't seem to improve the situation. Setting Camera Aligns to Slopes helped a lot. It was important to use the WASD keys more than the mouse. With these settings I was able to wander around and mostly play except that it was still too easy to get my view off. I also ramped up Options | Input | Mouse Look Sensitivity to 0.50 or higher. To play at all, I had to set Options | Input | Mouse Look Sensitivity to 0.00. To make things easier, the VM options were edited and set to go full screen automatically when the VM powers up. I'd read that for best graphics performance, I should run the VM full-screen, so I did do that (which makes sense anyway to lessen likelihood of mousing out of the VM). Samples pretty high, but I don't have it set insanely fast, and, besides, the KVM does emulate keyboard/mouse soĭoesn't necessarily pass-through the mouse as-is.
I do have a Logitech Gaming Mouse and it runs through a KVM, so unsure what interactions were at play. Using mouse buttons to walk / control the camera was a disaster. I accepted both.Įverything except the camera worked fine at this point. Naturally, 3D graphic support is enabled.Īfter Windows install (nothing added except vmware tools - essential), LOTRO was installed.Īfter the initial install "finished" it let me try to launch the game, but it crashed so had to be restarted.Īt this point it offered to install additional software and to use DirectX 11 vs. The VM has 8GB RAM, 2GB of graphics RAM, and 2 Cores.
