hi,
i have a problem with vmware Fusion(11.5 Pro) and a Blizzard classic Game called Diablo 2 (LoD).
i give Fusion a try because i want to upgrade from Mojave to Catalina, what means i can't play that game anymore.
So i tried to install 2 VMs, one with macos Sierra (10.12) and one with Mavericks (10.9).
Everytime i try to play the game i get a black screen and the VM is dead.
I managed it to start the game in windowed Mode, but get the following error
[2020-05-08T06:32:17Z][source/main.cpp:168][INFO]: Sending Report...
[2020-05-08T06:32:18Z][source/main.cpp:203][ERROR]: CURLcode 0x00000001 (1): Unsupported protocol
[2020-05-08T06:32:18Z][source/main.cpp:764][INFO]: Exit value: 1
the problem seems to be the resulution, Diablo try to start in 640x480 and then you can select a so called hires mode with 800x600 if you want?
But i cant get below 1024x768 - tried that with vmware Tools cli command
volkers-Mac:~ volker$ /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-resolutionSet 800 600
Invalid width specified. Valid range: [1024, 8192]
volkers-Mac:~ volker$
so, what to do?? seems that is it not possible to play clasic games with a mac vm ?
dont want to go to the crappy Windows ??
why isnt it possible to select Video Modes below 1024x768, i mean even on my real Mac i can do that easily ?
regards
Volker
