I am sorry to be the bearer of bad tech news.įortunately, BeamOff - an application desinged by JasF on GitHub, has been created to fix this issue. As an added pain, unfortunately, you'll have to repeat the process everytime you login. I even tried increasing the number of CPU cores that VMware Player could use - that was practically useless.Īs a result, it is suggested that you disable Beam Syncrhronization by going into Apple's native Quartz Debug developer tool, and selecting 'Disable' under the 'Beam Sync' menu. As you noted, changing the amount of RAM won't change a thing. It's because the new Beam Syncrhronization system doesn't appear to have been designed with virtual machine users in mind. As a result, Mac OS X now uses a lot more physical memory, but runs well on physical hardware (especially MacBooks, obviously).īut, this change hurts virtual machine users - the new system slows down performance on virtual hardware. With the advent of OS X Yosemite (and newer versions), a new system for Screen Redrawing and Window Management was introduced. I believe that a recent advent in Mac OS X development may be to blame for the issue delineated:Īccording to multiple sources (including the one listed above), even having the VMware Tools installed won't help much - it's the way in which Mac OS X handles graphics and GUI. Which means the virtualised OS X doesn't even recognise there is an emulated graphics card.

The Windows VM can play the same game, altough it's laggy even with 8GB allocated RAM, whereas the OS X VM can't even open the game, the application crashes at start. For example, I created two virtual machines, one with Windows XP and one with Mountain Lion. You will notice that resuming the machine is much slower than if you didn't purge the RAM of the file cache.Īlso, VMWare seems to not work well/recognise graphic cards in virtualised OS X. You can test this by running sudo purge in the Terminal after you close a virtual machine, then re-opening it.

This is done for speed purposes, so that if you close the VM and want to open it later, it will take much less time to resume the VM if there is a file cache in RAM, than if there isn't one. For example, if I run a Windows XP or Mountain Lion VM in VMWare on a base Yosemite system and allocate about 4GB of RAM, VMWare will use more than that for caching files. Virtual machines use a lot of RAM in Yosemite for creating file caches. Once I open other applications and run one or two virtual machines the available RAM can go down almost to under 1GB. I have 16GB installed on my system and Yosemite is using about 4-5 GB without any application running. I imagine in virtualised mode it would take even more. Please note it was working fine when i was having Mavericks (have 1366*768 resolution at login screen and desktop both).įrom my experience, Yosemite is using a lot more RAM than 3GB if you run it natively (no emulation). It changes to 1366*768 resolution after login process is complete and desktop is loaded. I am having resolution of 1366*768 but When i am at login screen of Mavericks, i am not having this resolution (some black margins from left and right, looks like 1024*768). But to my disappointment, this improvement in performance (graphics + speed etc) was not too much great as i was having when using OS X Mavericks.ġ.Speedup OS X Yosemite performance (graphics + speed) as i was having before in MavericksĢ. So i added it to login item so that it may start with login of Mac. It suggested to run application called BeamOff (download link available on same site) and add it to startup to disable Beam Sync feature of Mac to improve graphicsīy using option 6 mentioned above, when i launched BeamOff application, it suddenly made graphics smoother. Tried to increase Virtual Graphics Memory size using configuration file of Virtual Machine and adding this line to itĬame across a link on internet link here. Rpaired file and folder permissions both using Mac OS X's internal utility and using CCleaner application also.

These drivers were working well with Mavericks and made it blazing fast in vmware in my previous experience)

Tried to install SVGA drivers again (could not find update for OSX Yosemite SVGA drivers here.

I updated latest VMware tools from VMware site.

I cam across many problems on this update. When Yosemite released, I updated it from App Store. It was working fine with VMware Tools installed and SVGA Drivers also. I was having OSX Mavericks 10.9 in Vmware.
