VM Hangs

[larry989]

I have installed VMware Fusion 13.5.2 on an IMac 2017 with 3.8 GHz quad core i5, 16 GB memory, running Ventura 13.6.7
I set up a Windows 10 VM which appears to work fine.
Am trying to play a game call Railway Empire and it starts fine, runs for a while and then hangs up.
All I can do after it hangs is shut down the VM.  I allocated more memory to the VM but that did not seem to help.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I assume you have VMware Tools installed to provide the latest VMware SVGA 3D driver.  Check to see that you have the shared memory in the VM's display settings set to the max (8192). 

It's also possible that there's an issue with VMware's 3D drivers - support for games is not exactly a strong point for Fusion (yes, this is the understatement of the year). It's also possible that the game might have issues with a virtual graphics adapter.

I have Fusion Player Version 13.5.2 (23775688) installed on a Mac M2 Pro hosting a VM running Windows 11 Pro 3H2. I am trying to do software development using the community version of Visual Studio (version 17.10.5). Performance is more than acceptable, but the VM hangs and the cursor freezes often enough where it's unusable. The only remedy is to reboot the VM.

Is there any information I can provide VMware dev to help diagnose this issue?

13.6 seems to have resolved this issue. Thank you Fusion dev team!
