I hope i posted this in the right place. I just noticed there is a vmware section, I am thinking this problem is with my build though.
Ok so for starters this is my first question on this forum and I want to take some time to thank the community, I have used this website for years and it has come to the rescue at times. I am hoping this falls in line with a much needed knight in shinning armor. Also please excuse my poor grammar. So here is my problem.
I play alot of MMOs in my spare time and have really gone into extended play in one called ArcheAge. The limiting factor in this game is a rare resource called labor points. the entire game revolves around this points and the only way to get them (or at least the best way) is to keep your character*s online. So me being the super genius i am i looked into the rules and found you can run as many characters as you want, there is no limit as long as your doing the controlling and not any software moving your characters. I quickly installed the archeage game onto my gaming desktop and gaming laptop and started 2 characters. I soon realized 2 was not enough so i decided to install and run vmware player on my laptop which was easy enough to get working with help, it is hard to get VM to play direct X gaming. I have a total of 6 vms and 1 main game going on my laptop and no desire to add vms to my desktop because i want the entire thing for performance. Long story short i wanted to have even more characters so i purchase the following hardware.
Norco RPC4220 case.
1 Intel DBS2600CW2 Server Board.
2 Xeon E5-2620 v3 Hexa-core (6 Core) 2.40 GHz Processor
1 Crucial 64GB Kit (16GBx4) DDR4 2133 MT/s
2 500GB samsung evo SSD 850 seris
1 intel 530 ssd
1 GTX 970 evga
1 microsoft 8.1 pro (also tried server 2012 r2 w/ hyper v and remote fx)
My problem is that after everything is put together i can not seem to run the vms without them freezing. I think i have tried every KB article vm ware offers and the gaming community is also stumped as to why this is occurring for me. The server works flawlessly at normal server stuff just not these vms. I can not see anything in the vmware logs becuase the vm locks up and only way to restart it is to stop all process. I can play the game for a minute or so before the freeze occurs. Any help is much appreciated.
If i can not get this working i will be selling this and just buying another simaler laptop to what i have and settle for 15 accounts instead of 50
Thanks in advance also! I AM VERY THANKFUL for even remote guesses. Also i have scoured the bios and not found anything out of place at least that points to a problem.
