The game still just stays stuck at a black screen after the Global VR logo. Also anyone know how to set this up with launchbox?

With that version of VMware the game boots. I can now get to the level select screen. But it wont let me shoot, and then crashes with an invalid dongle error. Its so close. Great work either way.

After entering a game, how are you getting past the dongle error? Also, is there something I need to do to disable the CDROM and enable multikey?

I'm getting a BSOD after launching the vm with the vmdk. I have no idea what's going on.

 

Edit: I figured it out. You must absolutely set the VM to Windows XP or it will BSOD.

But The Swarm doesn't have an ISO, and you have an ISO marked in that file? So I don't understand what path we should set for The Swarm. I keep getting the same error: It can't find the dongle and the controls don't work to select scenes. Any solution, please? Thank you very much.

can you explain pointing to an iso that doesn’t exist? (Cd rom settings) do we need it?

 

Also, do we need to run multikey somehow before the game starts? Starting the vm boots the game so I’m not sure what to do.

 

Thank you!

As mentioned in a previous post, you have to press the O key. Also, the game probably needs I/O support

[southpark472]

crosshair do not work probably needs I/O support

do we need this iso to get beyond the dongle error?

will definitely need the NITRIC usb card emulated for I/O to work properly.

Vmware workstation pro v17 gives an error:

The configuration file "The Swarm.vmx" was created by a VMware product that is incompatible with this version of VMware Workstation and cannot be used.

Cannot open the configuration file.

Are you using the vmware he posted up above?

 

With the iso that was just posted the invalid dongle issue and control issues still persist. More work is needed.

[famawizard]

I was using 17.2, now I with the 17.5 posted it works.

Thnaks for the tips.

quelqu'un sait si une équipe travaille sur ce jeu pour le rendre jouable sur PC ?

merci pour l'information.

Hi there I appreciate the good work you guys do and what you share. 

I was just wondering if there had been any progress on this.👍

the begin to hack this game ?..........i hope.....

[jcstahl1]

A talented developer would really be needed to actually get this playable at some point.  TP team has already stated they pretty much have no interest in touching it.  

[bigdenny]

😂 

[kkmedia]

it would need a "Gvr" I/O board emulator for control and also the way to start the game by passing through a virtual machine is not very recommended. It would really take someone talented to run this game on an OS ( Win 10 or 11 ) with an emulator of the I/O card ( Very complicated thing... )

 

But fingers crossed LOL😅
