nomdeplume Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I think you'll struggle, since there's no dedicated server component - your VM will need to provide sufficient Direct3D graphics support for it to be able to load and display the 3D environment you get when you first run a MP server. Possibly the Workstation line may provide sufficient acceleration to make it possible. I'm not sure how much the graphic performance matters on a 'dedicated' server.
sungsam Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I just know for sure that there are starforce and activation problems with VMware. A lot of posts exist for that reason on Activations section ! VMware is bad choise for it. :) DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS ! DCS AH64D Longbow !
