Display rendering issues on VMWare Fusion: Chart candles flickering, etc.

[jmaurice]

I just installed NT8 on a Windows 10 VM running inside VMWare Fusion on MacOS. For some reason, the candles flicker and blink and charts don't render properly. I imagine this is some glitch with hardware acceleration - any advice?

Thanks

Hello jmaurice,

Thank you for your post.

While we do not officially support running NinjaTrader on a Mac we have specific installation instructions for VMWare Fusion which will allow you to run NinjaTrader on your Mac. I would ask that you ensure these settings are set up as needed.

When configuring NinjaTrader on a Mac running VMWare, users will need to ensure that the following steps have been taken prior to the installation of NinjaTrader.

1. Start VMWare and select your virtual machine
2. Press the "Settings" button on the bottom
3. Under "System Settings", select "Sharing"
4. Uncheck "Documents" from the "Mirrored Folders" list
5. Close the "Settings" window and start the virtual machine

If these steps have been followed I would ensure the VMWare Windows install meets our minimum PC requirements at the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...quirements.htm

If these items have been followed then I would ask you to run dxdiag.exe on your Windows install and provide screenshots of the system and display tabs.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
