On iPad and I suspect on all such like devices, it is hard to click with your finger on the AceM2 Server link at the top here in order to refresh or whatever. The add (now Myth of Soma) is tight just under it and I keep clicking it instead of the link to refresh the forum posts. Could you make at least one line space under the link so the add is not so tight under it?

That is unless its a ploy and you get some income from the add. :bord:

Must be an iPad thing. I've added a space, does this make it better for you?

 

[mir2pion]

Yes, thanks

I have fat fingers for iPad Mini it seems, I use it to keep in touch with what is happening.

I can't play currently (till end of September) because mir won't run on my setup -

I am running Win7 in Fusion on a MacBookPro and when I start the virtual machine it says something about 3D support or something like that missing and right enough when I try to launch acemir I get this note pop up:

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers on your virtual setup, if you can even do that lol.

I've posted a link to drivers elsewher on this forum - please do a quick search as it resolced the other macbooks users' problem.

 

[mir2pion]

Thanks, will look into it. I thought nothing can be done about it as it is between Fusion and Mac (Fusion is on Mac what Vmware is on Windows)

Usually it installs its own driver which interfaces to Mac display driver. Perhaps in this case, Fusion determined that Mac video driver is not up to the task of 3D something as it gives notice during win7 installation and everytime you restart or boot windows. Vmware has Tools that sort such things out, not sure about Fusion, will have a look. But given by end of September I am back home in EU, I don't think I will force the issue. Thanks

I'm running on Parallels for MacBook Air and I just use an XP stack, everything works fine.
At first I tried a Vista / 7 setup but got similar errors for any mir I ran, but XP works like a dream.
