I stopped playing back before the AH got shut down and now im back to play/bot the new expansion. I am running DB on my host and everything works 100% but on a VM is a different story. I did notice that DB requires Vista+ so my old XP VM's got tossed. I only have 1 VM right now while I tested but no matter what the settings are the D3+DB=horrid lag.
Host:
2011 i7-3820 3.6 OC 4.2
3x GTX 660
2x ROG RAIDR 256gb PCIE SSD
64GB Dominator Platinum
Win8.1 Pro
Guest:
Win7 Pro x86 (also tried x64)
2gb ram (adjusted this from 1-3 without a difference)
40gb hdd single file
I have re-adjusted the settings in workstation so that it performs better overall which does make a difference but not enough. Before I got to the point im at now D3 would lag all by itself however now I can get D3 and DB running but after about 30min the whole VM locks up. Just so we are on the same page, when I stopped playing D3 I was running 5 VM's and the host without a touch of lag. Seems to me between the new OS and the new DB VM's appear an unviable solution.
