Description
Hi,
Starting with VirtualBox 4.3.14 I've remarked that many 3D games stopped working under my Windows 8.1 guest.
Among the list :
- FarCry (before 4.3.14 the game started but there was a mouse issue)
- Warcraft 3 (worked before 4.3.14 but was damn slow while very fast under my Windows XP guest on the same machine)
- ... and many others (I can give you an exhaustive list if asked)
Interestingly, other games work like Age of Empires 3.
Host : AMD Phenom 9850 8 GB RAM NVidia GeForcfe 660 Ti with NVidia 331 binary blob Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bits
Guest : Windows 8.1 32 bits 2 cores assigned 2 GB RAM 256 MB VRAM Configured as Windows 8.1 and not Windows 8
To perform your tests you can pick up a (French) demo of Warcraft 3 there : http://www.jeuxvideo.com/telecharger/jeux-et-demos/00004991-warcraft-iii-reign-of-chaos-pc.htm
