Kaboom Error on Launch - Win7 VM

[Tunster]

Hi Support,

I'm trying to setup my RA2 multiplayer via CnCNet. I can get the game working no problem, however; the launcher errors every time. I've put it on Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode and always run as admin (although I've switched of UAC).

This is what I get and the log from client.log. I'm running all this on a VirtualBox VM.

Your VM lacks hardware accelerated graphics. The client needs, at minimum, a graphics card with DirectX 9 support, while your VM doesn't seem to have any graphics acceleration.

@Rampastring - I fixed the issue! I forgot to install the experimental 3D driver when installing Guest Additions. You can enable 3D acceleration without the driver installed.
