Beware that if you have this issue -and your host has more than one GPU- that it also might be because the wrong GPU was selected for Vulkan. | Beware that if you have this issue -and your host has more than one GPU- that it also might be because the wrong GPU was selected for Vulkan. | ||
There's another switch to use the openGL renderer instead of Vulkan: | |||
mks.enableVulkanRenderer = "FALSE" | |||
mks.enableGLRenderer = "TRUE" | |||
and a switch to allow the Vulkan rendered use unsupported devices: | |||
mks.vk.allowUnsupportedDevices = "TRUE" | |||
There's even a way to force your VM to use a specific GPU, such as the discrete GPU instead of the integrated GPU.. if your host has both. | |||
mks.forceDiscreteGPU = "TRUE" | |||

==== Disable mitigations ==== | |||
A message about disabling side channel mitigations shows up only when the ULM is used instead of the ring 0 VMM as the hypervisor monitor. | |||
That means the Windows host has been detected to have Hyper-V enabled. | |||
https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/05/vmware-workstation-now-supports-hyper-v-mode.html | |||
There is no advanced options in VMware Workstation Player. | |||
To disable the side channel mitigation, shut down the VM and add the following to the VM vmx configuration file. | |||
ulm.disableMitigations = "TRUE" | |||
