#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX GAMING SOFTWARE#
I used Virtual Machine Manager, straight out of Ubuntu's software center. 4GBs of RAM is NOT enough, you need at LEAST 8GB to game virtually. You really need a second gen i5 or better to do this, and a second graphics card will be helpful. I've since set the PC aside because I barely game anymore.

I got it working once, but due to my distro hopping ways, I scrapped the whole thing in favor of running the machine with XBox10 (Windows 10). The ONLY way to game in a virtual environment is utilizing pass through technology.
#VMWARE VS VIRTUALBOX GAMING INSTALL#
missing DLL errors give you hints for what you need to install to get the software running. The playonlinux debugger is useful when trying to get programs working. usually, the dependencies are loaded on the install media such as vcrun, dotnet and more. I am at work (on break presently) and I was unable to find specific system requirements for the software. That is the route I would go as it appears you will need GPU acceleration for that game. I have a video showing how you can use Steam's Proton within Playonlinux. If you can satisfy all of the dependencies, you can try running the simulator in WINE. VMware has much better performance than Virtualbox. IF you absolutely MUST game in a VM, your next best option is to use the VMWare player which is free for personal use.

This is due to the fact that your actual hardware (cpu) is doing the legwork rather than using a graphic interface. in many cases, 3D and OpenGL performance will be substandard. The "no hardware-accelerated" message is common in virtualbox.
