HowTo: Run in VMWare Workstation 9

Recommended Posts

I am successfully running 20 VM's all running the free version of the bot. Below are the steps I took.
 
Install VMWare Workstation 9.0.2
Install Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
 
Settings for VM install:
30GB HDD (Single file)
2GB RAM
Default for everything else
Install
 
Inside Windows 8:
Uninstall all the apps you can
Go to desktop, right-click task-bar and set it to boot to desktop/use desktop as much as possible.
Turn off automatic updates
Run updates manually
Install VMWare Tools
Install Path of Exile from http://webcdn.pathofexile.com/downloads/PathOfExileInstaller.msi
Install DirectX End-User Runtime from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Install Exile Bot

Reboot as needed

(I did not change any performance settings within Windows 8)

Optional: Install and configure a VPN program to have multiple IPs. I recommend/use HideMyAss

 

Path of Exile Settings:

Lower all graphics to minimal allowed. (800x600)

You should now be able to run Exile Bot and Path of Exile without error.

You may create a linked clone of this virtual machine. In the clone, you'll have to configure a different Path of Exile login.

 

Let me know if any errors occur or how I may make this HowTo better.

 

FAQ

How are you able to run 20 VMs with Path of Exile?

I have a high-end computer, made solely for botting various games. Specs:

iIntel 7-3930K (6-core, 12 threads) OC'd to 4.8GHz

64GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz

256GB SSD Samsung 830 Series

EVGA GTX Titan SC

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

 

How do I get rid of the Gamma flicker?

Pressing F1 in game will reduce it significantly. This is a Path of Exile bug and can not be fixed otherwise.

 

Do other operating systems as virtual machines work?

I've tried Windows 7 Pro 32-bit and the game crashed for me after 30 minutes of botting due to running out of graphics memory.

I have not tried any other operating systems, but feel free to post what works with what virtual machine settings.

I'm pretty new to VMware, so forgive my newbie questions.

 

If you wanted to run a 2nd VM, does that require you to create a 2nd 30GB/1GB instance?

 

I'm trying out VMware Player right now, and it seems like that's what I have to do to get a 2nd VM up and running.

How could you run over 20+ Vmwares when you only have 256gb ssd? Since you mentioned you spent 30GB for each window?

it is just the vmware settings for the maximum size. 30 gb =/= 30 gb on the hard drive.
