Multiple clients through vm error

mscuil · 07/04/2010, 21:02

Please done trash me too badly, seeing i tend not to post for that reason...

Anyways. im running 3 game clients from my pc, using vmware workstation. runs fine enough for what i use it for, but i get the occasional random hshield speed mod detection error. anyone run into this before? it seems to only happen during high traffic times of the day... thnx in adv for any insight.

The speed hack error triggers abnormally when hackshield recognizes a manipulation or irregularity in the games running or rendering. This is usually caused in VM's by a lack of resource allocation. A quick way to avoid this error would be to open up the VM's options and increase the allowance of physical (if applicable) and virtual memory that the VM is allocated. This will prevent the irregular processing of the game within the VM and as such avoid the HS error.
Hope that helped.

i think bishop is a pretty cool guy. eh answers mscuil and doesn't afraid of anything

i usually didnt get the speed hack error unless i minimized one of the games to the taskbar. then that would trigger it in the vm

Minimizing the game, in VM or not, will cause the games speed and actions to fluctuate irregularly. The chance of this happening is increased in a VM due to the aforementioned allocation of resources.

ive never had that error in the native client or whatever you want to call it. only in the vm. that would be pretty bad if minimizing your game was enough to set off hackshield. that was even a built in feature in fantasia wasnt it?, 0% cpu usage when minimized

Over stating, or sometimes even randomly using dumb meme makes you sound like a newb. That and, you did it wrong.

Lol, I wouldn't expect you to encounter this issue when running a native client because your computer should be able to handle that with ease.
If you use a desktop like my old computer which is a Pentium 2 with half a gig of ram and integrated graphics, you can encounter this error if the client is minimized due to the bottle-necking of processes.

lol i gotcha. ive only played mabi on a geforce 6800 or like my main pc is a 9800 gtx+

btw bishop this is off topic but, to me it seems really hard to buy geforce 9800 gtx+ anymore. i was wanting to buy another one and do SLI rather than jump up to something else and just have this odd 9800 card that i dont have a computer to put it in. because aside from this computer all my other computers are agp.

do u know where to get BFG 9800 GTX+? i thought this was a popular card ._.

i've had a few random times where i did minimize and that was all it took to make the speed hack come up T_T.

sorry inusuka come harder

If you're using Workstation7 + one of the newer Intel processors, make sure you have VT-x enabled (or whatever Intel called it). I found that it vastly improved the efficiency of my VM.

If you're using Player3, then I think you're out of luck. Try allocating more RAM to your VM, if you have enough to spare. I go 2GB and it's plenty (Win7 VM on Win7 Host).

To be perfectly honest, my comp does not have the resources to run a vm efficiently. I'm only using workstation because I received a license after becoming VCP and had no plans on using it until the 4th of July event....

But Ive added some more memory to each vm and they are running smoother. Thanks for everyone's help!
