This will upgrade the video drivers, etc., to VMware Fusion 11 versions. If it did work in VMware Fusion 11, then after restarting your VM fully, re-install VMware Tools from within the VM.If not, undo the two changes made to the config files ( preferences and *.vmx). In that, see if there's an option to go to Hardware Level 15 if not, leave it at 14. If you just cannot get it to work at all, set the VM's Hardware Level back to 14, and its VRAM (Display > Shared Graphics Memory) back to no more than 2048 (the max in VMware 10), then downgrade the VMware app back to VMware Fusion 10.x.That is apt to really booger something up. Under no circumstances should you fire up the VM entirely (i.e., past the point where you get a login screen and can pick the option to shut the VM down) until this "No 3D support" problem is fixed.vmx file, and add the mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE" line to that file as well. If it still doesn't work, shut down the VM, and VMware Fusion, then go find your VM in the macOS filesystem, right-click or ctrl-click it, and pick "Show package contents".
If you have a 2013 or later Mac, and a recent version of macOS, and are running the Metal 2 3D graphics library, you can try setting the first of those (the MTL one) to "1", and could try setting the one below it (GL) to "0", but I have not tested this personally. Add the following lines (or edit any that are present to make them conform), then save the file: mks.enableMTLRenderer = "0"
This should be " ~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences". Then in the Display tab, turn on Accelerate 3D Graphics (if it's not on already), and set the Shared Graphics Memory you need.Įdit your main VMware Fusion preferences file.For each VM in which you need 3D stuff, go into its Settings and pick the Compatibility tab, then Advanced Options drop-down, then select Use Hardware Version: 16.Start up every VM that is not in a fully shut-down state (anything you can "Resume").It may prompt you to allow something in System Preferences and such do so. Revert to VMware Fusion 10.x, and open that app.
