3D Acceleration Support -- Games & Apps status
Posted: 20. Jun 2009, 17:11
3D Acceleration has developed very much in VBox 2.1 where OpenGL first appeared and again with 3.0 where Direct3D is first available. It is still experimental however.
Previous topic became kind of a mess, so I decided to start this one, to show current status, and make it sticky & locked topic.
Host: Windows XP + ATI Radeon HD 3850 (drivers from 2008)
Summary: (it is continuously updated)
============================================
Working OpenGL Games/Apps: (VirtualBox version - application name)
2.1.0 -Celestia
2.1.0 -GL Excess
2.1.0 -Google Earth
2.1.0 -Really Slick Screensavers
3.2.8 - Unigine Tropics (VBox 2.1.0 lacks GL_EXT_draw_range_elements)
4.0.0 - Vulpine GL Mark
2.1.0 -Quake III Arena
2.1.0 -Return to Castle Wolfenstein, GOTY Edition (reported by cpedgin)
2.1.0 -Serious Sam 1
2.1.0 -Tux Racer
2.1.0 -Unreal Tournament 99
2.1.0 -Warcraft III (with -opengl parameter), but slow
3.0B1 -Counter strike (reported by "mrproper")
3.1.0 - Call of Duty
3.1.0 - MDK2
NOTE: All the working tests are very responsive, have great performance, and rendered correctly. No issues so far. Games are playable !
Exceptions: Wacraft III which is slow - 9 fps vs 40 fps on host.
Non-Working OpenGL apps:
2.1.0 - FarCry (with OpenGL settings) (reported by cpedgin)
2.1.0 - GL Extension Viewer (shows extensions, but tests fail). In 3.0B1 situation is much worser, as VM will stuck.
2.1.0 - Starwars KotOR (reported by xasx)
4.1.8 - WebGL (OpenGL ES for Web, in Google Chrome 9+ and Mozilla FireFox 4+ browsers)
Working Direct3D: (NOTE: only Direct3D 8/9 is partially supported, 6/7/10 is not supported)
DX8 - 3.0 -3DMark 2001 (some issues with old ATI and NVIDIA drivers, before 2010)
DX8 - 3.0 - Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. slow. 13 fps@640x480. Disable mouse integration.
DX8 - 3.0 - C&C: Renegade. Disable mouse integration.
DX8?- 3.0 - Rise of nation (reported by pchev)
DX8 - 3.0 - Unreal II - works. 8 fps@800x600. Disable mouse integration.
DX9 - 3.0 - Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Graphics renders, but unplayable. 1 fps@800x600. Disable mouse integration.
DX9? - 3.1.6 - Homeworld 2 - reported by keshon. Disable mouse integration.
non-working Direct3D:
DX8? - Codecreatures, app crashes & locks up the VM. Requires VM reset.
DX9 - 3.0 -3D Mark 2003 - failed to run due to lacking features: DXT1, DXT3.
DX9 - 3.0 -3D Mark 2005 - failed to run due to lacking features.
DX9 - 3.0 - Unigine Tropics - process locks up with black screen, and I need to use Task Manager in Guest OS to kill it. VM is alive.
DX9 - 3.0 - Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, game crash, VM alive
DX9? - 3.0 - Chess Master 10th edition -- incorrect rendering & behavior - menus are misplaced, and I cannon start game due to this
DX9 - 3.0 - AMD nBench 3 - fails. VBox log shows "Guest Log: VBOXNP: NPGetUniversalName: NPGetConnection returned error 0x43"
DX9 - 3.0 - Heroes of Might & Magic 5 - tries to start, and self-exits. Nothing interesting in VBox logs. VM is alive.
DX9? - 3.0 - Call of Duty 2 - fails. incorrect rendering & behavior. menus are black.

Stability: (+ bugs opened)
1. BTW: OpenGL also works on Windows 2000 guest ! So not only XP/Vista!

2. When entering OpenGL mode, please disable Mouse integration by default. It is incompatible with all OpenGL games anyway.

3. Paused mode rendering incorrect
