Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 1. Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 09, 2020 11:01 PM Hi, I've posted about the full screen blur issues with Fusion 11 previously, but I've finally upgraded to Fusion 12, and unfortunately the issue is still there I'm using Fusion 12 on my 2019 16in MacBook Pro (Catalina 10.15.7), connected to my external 3840x1600 ultrawide monitor. The VM I'm testing with mainly is Windows 10 (1909 currently), with updated hardware version and VMware Tools. Scaling in Windows is always set at 100%, MacOS runs at native 3840x1600 with no scaling.When a VM console is in Windowed mode, it is crisp (see reply for screenshot), but as soon as you go fullscreen the rendering becomes blurry - see attached screenshot.I more often actually use Fusion a remote console for vSphere VMs, and they all exhibit the same behaviour, regardless of the OS.This issue was persistent through all the versions of Fusion 11 that I'd previously used as well - so it's not new to Fusion 12. 2. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 09, 2020 11:02 PM Here's the Windowed mode screenshot to demonstrate the difference. 3. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 12, 2020 10:20 AM From the screenshot, it seems your VM doesn't enable the Retina display support. If there is any Retina display in use, please make sure things below:1. The vmtools are installed properly2. Check the Settings -> Display, make sure the checkboxes "Use full resolution for Retina display" and "Automatically adjust user interface size in the virtual machine" are checked. The comboboxes in "Virtual Machine Resolution" section are "Use Fusion Display Preferences"3. Open VMware Fusion -> Preferences -> Display. Both of the comboboxes are "Resize the virtual machine ..." 4. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 13, 2020 04:52 AM There is no Retina display in use most of the time - only the external monitor which it NOT retina. This is all on only on the external monitor.VMware Tools are installed and up to date, and the other settings are as you suggested. When the VM is in Windowed mode, it's perfect - it's just in fullscreen it messes up the rendering. Honestly, I think Fusion just sees 3840 horizontal resolution and assumes it must be retina, so turns on scaling somewhere in the back end.... 5. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 19, 2020 11:54 PM I've now upgraded to Big Sur as well - same issue still persists. In windowed mode VMs are crisp, but switch to full screen and even though the VM resolution switches to match the full screen native resolution, it still renders with a noticeable blurriness. 6. RE: Full Screen STILL blurry in Fusion 12 Posted Nov 24, 2020 04:12 AM Upgraded to Fusion 12.1 today, and re-checked all the settings - no change, still blurry in full screen.Would be nice if

How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? 1. How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 29, 2015 07:27 PM My understanding that hardware needs to be brought up to version 12. I am running XP on my virtual machine 2. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Best Answer Posted Aug 29, 2015 09:11 PM In Settings>Compatibility, you'll see what hardware version is currently being used and if it's not version 12, click the Upgrade button.BTW, when updating VMware Tools, did you get either a Windows "Found New Hardware WIzard" popping up repeatedly during the install, or have the Tools install hang altogether forcing a Power Off? For me the Hardware Wizard kept popping up in XP Pro and XP Home just locked up. It was necessary to force a Power Off and then run the Tools Repair option in Reinstall VMware Tools. 3. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 30, 2015 03:03 PM Got it and it was at 6 and I went to 12. Still struggling with tools update - looking for the ISO file??Thanks 4. RE: How do you check VM Fusion hardware on VM 8? Posted Aug 30, 2015 08:10 PM If I remember correctly, the installer packages eventually appeared as a virtual network drive; the D drive always came up empty. But since the Tools update is often automatic, does the Virtual Machine menu say Update or Reinstall tools?

EFI Boot delay in Fusion 11 1. EFI Boot delay in Fusion 11 Posted Sep 27, 2018 10:32 AM I upgraded my existing VM in the newly-installed Fusion 11, but now the boot screen hangsfor about 1 minute with messages:Attempting to start up from:-> EFI VMware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive (0.0)... unsuccessful.-> EFI VMware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive (0.0)... unsuccessful.-> EFI Network...after finally booting. Why this delay?FWIW, the delay goes away when I revert virtualHW.version = "16" to "14" in the .vmx file, butI presume that the upgrade to "16" is there for a reason. Is it possible to make that delay go awaywhile keeping virtualHW.version = "16"? 2. RE: EFI Boot delay in Fusion 11 Posted Sep 27, 2018 01:28 PM After further investigation it appears that Fusion 11 (VirtualHW.version = "16") does nothonour the EFI Boot order, whereas Fusion 10 (VirtualHW.version = "14") does.The EFI Boot options include EFI VMware Virtual SCSI Hard Drive (0.0)EFI NetworkEFI Internal Shell (Unsupported option)which appear to be hardcoded in the VM, because they reappear at the next boot when Idelete them with the 'efibootmgr' utility.The boot option for my OS, Debian GNU/Linux, was added and made first in the boot order.This works fine in VirtualHW.version = "14", but not in "16" where options further in the bootorder are tried first. This even happens when my OS is specifically made to be the next bootchoice.It is unfortunate that Fusion 11 does not implement EFI booting properly. 3. RE: EFI Boot delay in Fusion
