Has anyone got MTW1 up and running on Win10 with VMWare?

[Michael60622]

I tried to get MTW1 going with Hyper-V. But after 6 hours it seems that configuring graphics/DirectX is only possible with WindowsServer2016+. So I am trying for VMware. But before I waste another day I wanted to ask if anyone else already tried it.

I tried VMWare a while ago, I think I tried running XP on a Vista host. I don't think MTW like the graphics driver, but I don't really know what I'm doing with VMWare so it's possible someone might get it going. Win 10 inside the VM is probably not the way to go though, I would choose an older OS.

Welcome to the Org! ~:wave: If you do get it running, let us know the hoops...

Not sure if this got asked but... it doesn't work on Windows 10?

As far as I've investigated, not the disk version.

So only the Steam version works on Win10... ?

To the best of my knowledge, yes. You could apply the Steam "patch" (explained here: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php/152891-Unofficial-Retail-Patch-for-Win10-Modern-Systems?p=2053757970#post2053757970), but I have questions about the legality since the .exe is involved.
