I dont know what else to do, I did read i should install my graphics card driver on the VM? but noting is missing in the VM hardware.

Dont install the graphic drivers in the VM. Whoever suggested that doesnt know shit about VM graphics. Install the VMware tools. It contains the graphic drivers for the virtual display adapter.

VMware tools is installed :(.
 
You can never get a equivalent performance of a physical machine from a VM. PCI devices are emulated on VMs. The VM cannot directly benefit from a good graphic adapter on the physical machine. This is limitation of all virtualization softwares.. whatever you try. The CPU is used heavily for the graphic processing on the VM.
What I would suggest is to create multiple VMs. Reduce the resources allocated to the VMs and see whats the bare minimum to run a D3 copy.
Make sure to keep enough resources free on your host machine. And yes make sure to enable HT for the CPU. Workstation benefits a lot from it.

HT= Hyper threading? Yah thats enabled.

Yah if i have 2 run 2 VM's for 2 Diablo going to suck when i want to run 6.

My pc can run 6 NO issue at all and still play SWTOR or anything else at full settings in fullscreen windows mode.

But the game i want to play now only support Full Screen, And when i play the game the bot's stop and just sit there and the diablo is frozen in spot till i alt tab out.
 
Proxmox VE is based on Debian GNU/Linux. Meaning you can't install it over/on Windows.

That's the good thing about! ;)

1 PVE Base System with 8 Win7 VMs. Works like a charm.

Greetings

All of you posting about black screens? some of u list cpu and ram... but did u ever stop to consider you video card much be choking trying to display multiple devices? Graphics Processor Unit = GPU. I had a gtx460 768mb vram got black screens alot, bought a 670gtx 4gig vram not a problem. Point being there is a multitude of different things a system needs especially when running into having multiple graphical environments. When 6 different "machines" try to access the same shared vram simultaneously and each are reading and writing into memory others are, would it not make sense it would cause display errors and a black screen? As in it returns a null because data conflicts with previous data at a location.

Just some food for thought, changing programs wont so much as change your problem just might bring it forward in a different direction either way, I dont think recent bans were the drive of this. I have been Using VM's with V*P*N's for a while just because its good practice when botting on a above average capacity for a single network and physical address.

The problem is, when the host's physical graphic card crash, it recovers fine, but VM Ware doesn't recover, meaning basically everything is running fine, but each VM has a black screen and unless you force a reboot on your VM you can't see what's happening (except with VNC/Teamviewer of course).
I am not sure if it is either due to Nvidia Drivers, NVRam overload, or VM Ware not being able to handle a graphical driver recover on the host.
 
* did not read all posts in here ..

but did you update to latest graphics driver ? I also had some crashing driver issues cleaned the driver with a driver cleaner ... then reinstalled everything with latest driver

I have the latest graphical driver on the host yes.
 
HELLO, Do each VMWARE Instances have different MAC ADRESSES please?

Each VM = a single Virtual Computer with a dedicated network card = a different MAC address, yes.
 
I got vmworkstation 8 and created a vm win7 86bits, installed d3 and db

but my char used to get 450k gold/hr but running on VM its get maxium 300k gold/hr, anyone now why?

My laptop is a alienware i7 12gbddr3 ssd 128gb and radeon 7970m

My vm is 2 proc and 2 cores, 6gb memory and 60gb disc

hi are you getting any blackscreen or crashes on your VM with HD 7970 ?
 
your'welcome

try to remove floppy/cdroom/audio/printers aswell and put windows to best performance
use just 1proc with 2 cores, is enough

any problem tell me
 
how to put windows to best performance?I got the black screen the same with 3 vm...
