hi,

i am running 2 archeage in vmware works fast without single lag
here is the steps of how i did it

instruction :
1- install windows 8.1 - my spec are ( 4 cpu , 60gb size , 6gb ram ) you can do 3~4gb ram and it will work fine for 1 client
2- install vmware drivers ( to get graphic card updated )
3- install directx9 , and disable windows defender <~~ make sure of this step
4- install the game ( just install don't run it yet )
5- turn off vmware and edit vmx file add these data
svga.vramSize = 268435456
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"
isolation.tools.getPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setVersion.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "true"
monitor_control.disable_directexec = "true"
SMBIOS.reflectHost = "TRUE"
Click to expand...
6- run vmware edit register using ( Run ) -> ( regedit )
find ( @oem9.inf;%svga%;VMware SVGA 3D ) replace it with () <~~ replace it with empty data ( if this step shows error then use offline register editor or hiren's boot
find all ( VMware SVGA 3D ) replace them with ( GTX 660 ) <~~ i did this
7- reboot your pc and run the game


advice 1 : disable all windows visual settings to increase performance
advice 2 : run game as window mode and NOT full mode
advice 3 : lower game quality if you gonna run more than 1 client make lowest in the settings ^_^

as you can see vmware ram 6gb for 2 client and 2~4gb for 1 client also cpu should be 4 processor

Hey man,

I've been having issues at the green splash screen, specifically the program has to close and the error detail says "CryRenderD3d9.dll"

I checked on google and it said to do a bunch of things like update direct x and stuff.

And here I see that you're using Directx 9?
 
isolation.tools.getPtrLocation.disable = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.setPtrLocation.disable = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.setVersion.disable = "FALSE"
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "FALSE"

These four lines, you have them as "true" but Out has posted them as "FALSE". I'm curious what they actually do and what the value should be.
 
made all these changes and still can't get past the cryengine error

hmmm that is strange lets see what other members says

EDIT : try edit system.cfg in ( [user]\documents\ArcheAge\ ) there are settings to adjust graphic quality also go to your desktop make resolution 1280x720
 
I tried that, and even used the template info that you put into system.cfg

I'm close to giving up -_-
 
Get the directx 9 offline installer. The webinstaller showed me "components are ready to be used" after a second, therefor I concluded it isn't installed properly. After getting the offline installer the cryengine error disappeared.

However I still cannot play on the Host OS, while the VM runs it. I don't know why, but it crashes it.
 
I tried that one that he posted and I installed it. But when I check dxdiag I'm still on direct x 10 :\. I'm on Vista BTW.
 
Is the grahpic software of VMWare even good enough for Cry Engine 3 ArcheAge? Last time i followed such a guide it took me 10 min to see my own farm cart.
 
plz need help, when I run the game in vmware I get this error,,,,,,"Sorry,this aplication cannot run under a virtual machine"
 
Thanks this really helped got it running with game installed locally. Does anyone know how to get the game to load if I map a network share so I don't have to have the game installed on all my VM's?
 
yes, pop up error when trying to empty the oem9 value , i downloaded hirenboot cd, how to modify through it?? I couldn't modify still
 
Running this on Win7, one GuestOs, works quite ok.
I think issue people have is that they dont allocate enough RAM to the QuestOs, try to put in at least 4GB.
 
svga.vramSize = 268435456 <--wat does it do? increase performance?
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true" <--it will lock the screen resolution size and cannot adjust it , why do this?
 
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"
isolation.tools.getPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setVersion.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "true"

all the above vaules turn back to "False" when I restart the VM LOL...wat is going on? it turns to False automatically.
