Guide Run D2R inside Hyper-V Virtual Machine
 

Requirements -

Windows 10 Pro iso
Current GPU Drivers (Nvidia)


- Installation Instructions -

Install HyperV (Turn Windows Features On or Off)
- Configure virtual switch for External Network
- Disable Enhanced Sessions

Verify GPU Compatibility
- Check with Powershell: Get-VMPartitionableGPU

Create New VM:
- Gen 2
- 8GB RAM, **Uncheck Dynamic Memory**
- 120GB HDD

VM Settings:
- 8 CPU Cores
- Disable Checkpoints

Start VM + Install Windows 10 Pro


- Driver Installation -

File Transfers
- HOST - C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_ dispi.inf_amd64_[UUID]
- GUEST - - To C:\Windows\System32\HostDriverStore\FileRepository \nv_dispi.inf_amd64_[UUID]

- HOST - C:\Windows\System32\nv*.* (Every file that begins with nv)
- GUEST - C:\Windows\System32\


- GPU Partition -

Run PowerShell ISE as Administrator

Open GPU-P-Partition.ps1
- Set $vm = [VM-NAME]
- Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
- Run Script with Play button

Start VM

Check to see driver is loaded


GPU-P-Partition.ps1

$vm = "GPUP-01"

Add-VMGpuPartitionAdapter -VMName $vm
Set-VMGpuPartitionAdapter -VMName $vm -MinPartitionVRAM 80000000 -MaxPartitionVRAM 100000000 -OptimalPartitionVRAM 100000000 -MinPartitionEncode 80000000 -MaxPartitionEncode 100000000 -OptimalPartitionEncode 100000000 -MinPartitionDecode 80000000 -MaxPartitionDecode 100000000 -OptimalPartitionDecode 100000000 -MinPartitionCompute 80000000 -MaxPartitionCompute 100000000 -OptimalPartitionCompute 100000000

Set-VM -GuestControlledCacheTypes $true -VMName $vm
Set-VM -LowMemoryMappedIoSpace 1Gb -VMName $vm
Set-VM –HighMemoryMappedIoSpace 32GB –VMName $vm

Which graphic card? :O

Here is everything well explained:

im fighting with error 43 on GPU in VM, tried literally everything still same problem

when you use Get-VMPartitionableGPU, you get output or error?

Nvidia Windows driver :) 800x600 ??

My laptop has 2 GPU the integrated and a 1060. I followed the steps but in device manager I don't get the 1060. What can I do differently?

i think the only way is use win11 vm

Maybe im retarded, but what is the point of running D2R in a virtual machine ? I assume it has something to do with botting, but what ?

Also, whats the diffrence between a hyper-v virtual machine and just a normal virtual machine ?

I think it is to Run more Games the Same time e.g. for a Bo Barb, Echant Sorc or self Rush.

With D2R IT IS a Bit more complicated then With old D2

I do have windows 11 but emulated a windows 10. Should I have emulated windows 11?

nvm

very long loading d2r ?
 

Any one know how to fix slow loading ? It is like 7 to 10 times slower on vm than host.
Is this considered common/normal ?

I find the settings only reduce my graphics stress. Graphix's love legacy mode.

Any one know if using NVMe for each vm/instance helps more than using ssd SATA III !? I'm running 3 Hyper-V vm's and the loading for d2r on the vm's is about 7 times slower than default on host. My task manager shoes the vm('s) ssd SATAIII hitting 100% performance on each loading screen. Is that due to low ram and the pc calling for vRAM/paging ?
Host only hits 100% for a split second.
