Running windows 8 mouse lags

Post by Griffin Malone »

Hi okay so Ive had virtualbox for a while now and i decided to download DC universe whic is a somewhat big game but i assumed it could run it. When i run it the video lags and every like ten seconds it gets pixelated. The mouse is super slow and jumps around. Anyways to fix this. Im running on a macbook pro. Everything else runs smoothly. Thanks

Virtual machines will never be as powerful as the host, specially on the video side. Applications that have high requirements on the GPU (drawing, 3D, games) are expected to not work as good as on the real hardware.
