Anyone get games to work in vmware fusion?

[FearoftheNight]

I've tried warcraft 3 and the mouselag is so crazy it's not really playable. What are your experiences?

Some games work and others don't. I find that TF2 runs decently for example, but is ultimately constrained by the lack of VRAM.

Yea.. I have only gotten older games to work well.. (ie. Quake 3 Arena, original HalfLife, Sam & Max, etc...) And even then they aren't perfect.

I haven't had much success with games and VMWare Fusion. The best and easiest way to get games running is to dual-boot with Boot Camp and run Windows natively.

I've played some C&C games in Parallels at least with no problem. Not tried Fusion since I switched back to it full-time.

The question is, why play Warcraft 3 in Windows? IIRC, the CD is a dual Mac/Win CD and it runs natively in OSX.

I believe the save game files are the exact same format too, so you could move those over to OS X from Windows.

I'm actually replaying WC3 right now on OS X, I bought the Battle Chest since I had played WC3, but haven't played Frozen Throne. I've also picked up the Starcraft Battle Chest, but was extremely disappointed. No jewel case.

All Blizzard games can run either on Mac OS X or Windows so just install it on Mac OS X and run it natively.
