Virtual Machine

Postby FreakshowTJ » 12 Aug 2012, 21:01

I am running windows on my mac computer throught the vitrual machine VMware to play FA. The new update required me to update to NET Framework 4, so i did, then rebooted the virtual machine. I then try to attempt to update my faf to play this morning but it tells me faf cannot be installed on virtual machines. So am i screwed? Or is there another option to allow me to play?
It Windows 7 32-bit

FAF is fully incompatible with VM machines, I made it that way.
You can thanks all the people that used VM machines to created smurfs.

I thought the mac has the bootcamp to use windows ? You should use that.

(Also, terrible idea to play FA in a VM, even it can work, the performance -sim speed- must be very mediocre, even in a 1v1).

You win a license to run win 7, inside a VM or outside, it's the same. I won't answer your question as you are using a illegal win7 copy (inside a VM, but still illegal).
I highly doubt that VMWare is packaged with such thing as a free win7.
