Host: Mac mini (2007 model) - Intel GMA 950, Core 2 Duo (laptop) 2GHz (T7200?), 1GB RAM

Guest: Windows XP Professional SP3, 256MB RAM

During movements during gameplay, there is tearing on the terrain and the background, leaving areas of blackness or the background (behind the terrain). This occurs regardless of whether 3D Acceleration is enabled.

I noted that in the frontend the stars move extremely fast, could these two things be related?

WA version: 3.6.29.0

Example video (the tearing effects are reduced somewhat by recording, but not fully gone - FPS issue?): http://lsproc.exclaim-project.org/example.mov
(QuickTime H.264 IIRC)

It's a known problem with VMware virtualization products. I'm not aware of a fix or workaround.

I.E. a common fault with software in general under VMware (in which case could you link me to some further information as I would be interested), or a incompatibility with Worms and VMware.

Thanks
