Running Unity in VirtualBox

Hi guys, I installed Unity2018.2.6f1 on guest VM Windows 7 sp1, Ultimate.

On guest OS:
I installed VirtualBox GuestAdditions
Enabled 3d acceleration and 2d video acceleration
Gave 2 virtual CPU cores to VM.
Gave 4 GB RAM to VM.
Gave 256 MB VRAM to VM.

I'm trying to make it run on my laptop:

Dell Latitude E6540
Intel Core i5-4200M CPU @ 2.5GHz (2 physical, 4 virtual CPUs)
12 GB DDR3L RAM
Intel HD Graphics 4600 integrated graphic card with 1GB VRAM

I am runningsame Windows 7 sp1, Ultimate as host OS.

Reason i'm doing this is I want to have Linux as host OS and Unity for Linux is beta and not so stable, so I wanted to try this first instead of dual boot.

Take a look at attached screenshot to see what I get when I start Unity.
Editor.log is also attached to post.
Also another screenshot showing that I can open build window.

I think that main problem is in this:

```
Assertion failed on expression: 'SUCCEEDED(hr)'
(Filename: C:\buildslave\unity\build\Runtime/GfxDevice/d3d11/D3D11Window.cpp Line: 73)

d3d11: swap chain: w=688 h=291 fmt=28
d3d11: failed to create swap chain [0x887a0001]
```

yet not sure and can't find anything about this online.

Thing is that Unity actually works (at least some of it) and not renders. I can open build settings and hit build button (see screenshot).

Can anyone help me? It seems like I need something to configure with graphics, but i'm not sure is it possible in VM at all?

I plan to run small projects on it with simple 2d graphics, without postprocessing or any fancy stuff, so I think I won't need much of GPU power at all so I thought to try with VM.

Thanks

 

Try using a -force-glcore switch.

 

I have the exact same issue. Did you find the solution?
