Sun VirtualBox

[PuB_Evo]

Been trying to run the game client on Sun VirtualBox(OS: XP Home) and that error message popped up. It was also telling me that the game is running on 32bits resolution and that i should change from 16bits to 32bits for better performance.
Clicked and tired everything, the client runs but at a very very slow speed. So slow that it sort of would never go on... Need advise on this. Thanks!

Is this the same issue as the thread you started in the games section? If so I assume the same will happen.

Did you enable 3D acceleration in Virtualbox?

And did you update Direct X in the Virual host?

Also.. what is the host OS that is running Virtual box.

An OS in Virtualbox will run slower then a native OS.

This post and the post in games section has got nothing to do with each other. The software and programs i used on and ask on this thread are all legal.

1) Can you tell me more on how i would do that?

2) Do u have the direct link of which Direct X i should run?

3) The OS which is running on the VirtualBox is Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

4) Okie, if its that way and i cant do anything about it.

Thanks for the answer in advance.

*OvRiDe: Very sorry about the thread in games section. Its a promise that will not happen again.

Here is a step by step on enabling 3D acceleration in Virtualbox.

Give that a shot and let us know if that solved it.

Gone through all the steps till i came to rebooting the VirtualBox OS. After the system coming up normally, i checked if the 3D acceleration is enabled by running dxdiag. Here is what i get...

Need advise to fix 3D acceleration so i can go on. Thank you so much!

I'm not sure what the problem is. If you followed all the steps, it should work. What video card is currently in the machine. And what is the host OS. Does the host OS have the proper drivers loaded?

This is as far as I can take you, maybe check out the Virtualbox forums. http://forums.virtualbox.org/

Profile info on my system is updated. Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X 1GB GDDR5 is my current video card on the system.
Host OS refers to the OS used by the program VirtualBox? If so its XP Home Edition.
Do i also have to load and update the drivers once again for the VirtualBox host OS(XP) too?

[OvRiDe]

Im not sure.. I believe that the Virtualbox only needs the Guest driver.

I guess the part I am confused is .. why are you running an XP virtualbox on an XP machine. Why don't you just load the game directly on the machine?

I am running Windows7 Home Prem 64bits. Which is on my system specs.
Only the VirtualBox OS is on Windows XP Home.
