![]() | Playing on VirtualBox under MacOSX Hi all, I have a little question. I have a MacBook, and I play UO (legacy) from it. I installed WinXP on a Virtual Machine, and works like a charm. The problem is, thath Ctrl+Clik, on Mac, is Right Click, and I can't open the menu from a NPC. For example, I trying to buy some regeants from the NPC on the Necromancy house, but I can't do it. There are some option to change this to work? I would like to solve if possible, instead of install BootCamp again, and restart every time I want to play. Somebody get KR running on VirtualBox? Sorry, I'm new :S Thanks in advance ![]() ![]() "I belong to you, you belong to me...forever" |

Have you tried submitting a question via UO Feedback? Jeremy would love to address this I bet. Click on the Feedback link in my signature to get there easily. You can do it either as a question, or as a general UO:KR issue. ![]() Useful links [UO:F Common FAQ] [UO Stratics] [UO Guide] [Official UO Play Guide] [Search UO] [FindUO.com] [UO Feedback] [More Links, gathered by the Forum] [b][size="3"]Got a Question, or a great answer?

![]() | Re: Playing on VirtualBox under MacOSX Thanks ![]() The problem with KR is about hardware renderer error. VirtualBox doesn't virtualize 3D hardware, for this, if could be possible to activate Software renderer, this problem, IMHO, could be solved. Some screens. ![]() ![]() If I install BootCamp (software to install WinXp in other partition and start from it), KR works good (well, I tried it in beta, now I don't know), but I need to restart every time only to play (i don't use MS Windows for other thing), and create again this partition. ~2GB of KR, plus ~3GB of operating systems are about 6GB only to play. I will do it if there aren't other options, but I want to spent the possibilitys ![]() ![]() "I belong to you, you belong to me...forever" |

![]() | Re: Playing on VirtualBox under MacOSX 2D UO runs extremely well using CodeWeaver's CrossOver bottle software. (It's kind of like Wine for Linux) I haven't been able to get Kingdom Reborn to work in a VM or in a bottle on my MacBook. It runs fairly well from XP via Bootcamp. I've tried using VM Ware's Fusion and Parallel's Desktop. From what I can tell from what I've read online - no one has been successful at running KR in a bottle. |

![]() | Re: Playing on VirtualBox under MacOSX Your best bet it to change the setting in the options menu to use shift for context menus. that way you only need to hold down the shift key and use the only mouse button you have to get to the NPC context menus and such. Good luck! Zavi Torgal |
