Swift-R Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I have Windows 8 and Call of Duty 2 isn't working properly. What I thought is to use a virtual machine with Windows XP to play Call of Duty 2. How can I have FULL 3D advantage over the virtual machine and which vm software should I use?

0 link6155 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think the reason why you can't play CoD is that your drivers isn't updated Use a tool such as Ma-Config to find the drivers you need for Windows 8. If you can't find any Windows 8 driver, use windows 7 driver, they should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 redvamp128 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I know virtual box supports 3d but the video that it emulates will not run COD. It will not have direct access to your video card to use it . (even with passthrough) http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Swift-R Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have just tried virtualbox, well... The game works but it's slow. Mouse is laggy and I can only achieve ~120 fps whereas outside virtual machine I can achieve more than 600 fps. @link6155 I have the latest Windows 8 drivers. Thanks anyway !
