H&D2 Runs on VirtualBox

Unread post by Timeout » Thu Jun 19, 2014 12:20 am

I just came here to report that it's currently possible to run H&D2 on a VirtualBox VM.

I installed a Windows XP SP2 and then installed 3D accelerated graphics support (and then installed H&D2, of course).

In order to run without glitches, it's necessary to run H&D2 setup and disable Hardware T&L and Multipass Rendering, otherwise the graphics may glitch in some aspects (sudden transparent ground, flickering blocking triangles). The graphics quality itself is as good as native. I tested LAN MP games using my LAN with Linux hosts successfully.

It may still glitch if you try running another 3D accelerated app on host or keep minimizing the VM or maybe due to something unexpected. I don't know if it can be improved.
