same here, have here a NVIDIA Quadro K4100M; latest driver is installed (R418 U9 (426.78) WHQL, Release Date: 2020.6.24 ). this graphics card support directx 11 (minimum requirement); directx function levels: 11_0, 10_1, 10_0, 9_3, 9_2 and 9_1 (dxdiag); so whats wrong; can we have a official statement from vmware please?

note: i have vmware workstation 17, not the player; the technology should be the same.

the vmx option mks.enableDX12Renderer=FALSE does not work; i have attached the mksSandbox.logs before and after the modification of the vmx.

Both Quadro K4100M and GTX 770 do not support feature level 11_1 (they are only feature level 11_0) that is the minimum level required by WS 17.

During installation, you should see a warning message saying that 3D will not be supported on such systems.

I don’t remember getting any such warning.
Any way to override it so one can run it using 11_0 at one own’s risk? Or disable whatever feature that requires 11_1?
Newer versions of windows 11 doesn’t work on vmware 16 so I sadly don’t have the option to simply downgrade vmware.

My CPU is Intel Core i5-4690, using integrated video card «Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600», which is supports OpenGL 4.3 and DirectX feature level 11.1, but it also have this problem. Tested in a Windows Server 2022 x64 vm, and VMWare Tools have been installed. Whatever set mks.enableDX11Renderer = «FALSE» and mks.enableGLRenderer = «TRUE» or not seems haven’t affect, always show «no 3D support». By the way, ISBRendererComm: Lost connection to mksSandbox (3093) SOMETIMES happened, A vm maybe works well a moment ago, but it may show ISBRendererComm: Lost connection to mksSandbox (3093) after shutdown and boot again.

Sam2555,

I would appreciate it if you attached vmware*.log and mksSandbox*.log files from a problematic session.

As a workaround, if GLRenderer worked for you, these are the vmx config options to enable GLRenderer in WS 17:

mks.enableDX12Renderer=FALSE

mks.enableDX11Renderer=FALSE

mks.enableGLRenderer=TRUE

When I set mks.enableDX12Renderer=TRUE mks.enableDX11Renderer=FALSE Everything is OK, but it said no 3D support. When I set mks.enableDX12Renderer=FALSE mks.enableDX11Renderer=TRUE Everything is OK, but it also said no 3D support.

Can you double check that and send me the *.log files as you are getting different beahviour from your original post?

I have an i5-4310M with the same HD 4600 and with the below configuration the VM will not start:

mks.enableDX12Renderer=TRUE

mks.enableDX11Renderer=FALSE

But with the below configuration everything works:

mks.enableDX12Renderer=FALSE

mks.enableDX11Renderer=TRUE

Immediately after I upgraded from VMware Fusion 10.x to 11.0.1, I got the following error when trying to start the VM of any «advanced» OS like Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04, which worked perfectly fine in VMware Fusion 10:

No 3D support is available from the host.
The 3D features of the virtual machine will be disabled.

After several hours of digging around and experimentation, I sorted out the answer which I’ll post below.

Revert to VMware Fusion 10.x, and open that app. It may prompt you to allow something in System Preferences and such; do so.
Start up every VM that is not in a fully shut-down state (anything you can «Resume»). Shut each down entirely.
Upgrade again to VMware Fusion 11.
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.
Then in the Display tab, turn on Accelerate 3D Graphics (if it’s not on already), and set the Shared Graphics Memory you need.
Shut down VMware Fusion.
Edit your main VMware Fusion preferences file. This should be «~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences«. Add the following lines (or edit any that are present to make them conform), then save the file:
```
mks.enableMTLRenderer = "0"
mks.enableGLRenderer = "1"
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
```
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.
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». Open its [whatever].vmx file, and add the mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE" line to that file as well. Save the file.
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. That is apt to really booger something up.
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. In that, see if there’s an option to go to Hardware Level 15; if not, leave it at 14. Your VMs should now work properly again. If not, undo the two changes made to the config files (preferences and *.vmx).
If it did work in VMware Fusion 11, then after restarting your VM fully, re-install VMware Tools from within the VM. This will upgrade the video drivers, etc., to VMware Fusion 11 versions.

What seems to have happened was that either Hardware Version 14 did support DirectX and this support was removed, or there was a Version 15 that did and that entire version was removed. Either way, any VMs under VMware Fusion 10.x that supported DirectX, under the highest Hardware Version then available, suddenly lost that ability in VMware Fusion 11.x, until upgraded to Hardware Version 16. And on top of this, VMware silently assumed everyone was using Metal 2 and had abandoned OpenGL, which of course isn’t true.

On the up side, you now get up to 3GB shared VRAM instead of 2GB, so you’ll be able to play some less-ancient games and use slightly more modern 3D-rendering apps. However, VMware is still lagging badly on 3D support (DirectX 10 has been obsolete since 2008, so VMware’s a decade behind user needs – it’s still stuck at DirectX 10.1).

By experiment, I found out with Prefer External GPU checked on Catalina:

If you enable on Fusion 11.5 High Performance Graphic support on Windows 10 guest with above lines added to preferences, it will use Open GL framework from dGPU. If you, however, disable High Performance Graphic support for the guest entirely, it will use eGPU, probably via Metal. Open GL with subjectively similar performance to host, perhaps bogged down by number of vCores assigned.

I ran a few WebGL demos and I can see eGPU (Vega 64 FE) utilized to 30% before hitting limits on CPU allocation (2C in my case). Performance with eGPU is significantly better than performance with 5500M dGPU where I see GPU maxed out before CPU.

Facts: VMware Player on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with the
standard Gnome desktop running an AMD WX-2100 graphics card. Both glxinfo and glxgears show 3d acceleration is
enabled and working on the host. In addition to VMware Player, the host is also running the qemu-kvm/libvirtd stack from Ubuntu’s official repositories. My use case for 3d accelerated graphics in a Windows guest is to occasionally play a Windows-only game.

Issue: Player barks this warning during installation of… anything.

Solution: This
askubuntu post, Powered by StackExchange[TM], provides the solution:

Make sure 3d graphics is enabled in the guest settings and VMware Tools installed in it.
Shut down the Windows VM and exit Player.
Edit ~/.vmware/preferences to add…

mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"

Start up the guest VM in Player.

NOTES:

Why not use qemu-kvm instead of VMware Player? Because there isn’t a working Windows driver for virtual 3d accelerated graphics. The virGL project had this as a goal around five years ago (back when I went all-in on qemu-kvm myself), but has yet to deliver for Windows guests.
Why not PCI (VFIO) pass-through? Too expensive for me, and I suspect for most ordinary users. If you need 3d graphics
on Windows, it’s probably justifiable. But then you could put the same money into a second workstation running Windows on bare metal. There’s still a frustratingly high learning curve for getting pass-through graphics up and running, and the premium hardware required is very expensive (high-end motherboard and two graphics cards, as well as a spare monitor or a pro KVM switch — like a Blackbox for reliability and durability).
You can’t run a VMware and a qemu-kvm guest at the same time, each virtualization system wants exclusive access to the kernel. For desktop use that shouldn’t be a problem, but if the host doubles as a virtual lab (as mine does) you’re going to have to shut down all your qemu-kvm guests before launching a guest in Player. It’s an annoyance, but manageable for me. Note that you do not have to shut down or recycle libvirtd before or after using VMware Player.
