Cultivation in Virtual Machine? | Grasscutters | Page 1

Hi, I'm currently using Windows on VMWare to try and run Cultivation with 4.1. I completed all of the steps to set up Cultivation and tried to open it. This led me to the error message in the image that I provided. It says that the application cannot run under a virtual machine. I saw this and went to this server to try and find a solution, which I did sort of find. I found the pin in #general (#general message) that seemed to offer an answer, except when I did all the steps, it didn't change my outcome at all, and I continue to get the same error message. I downloaded and am currently unzipping 4.0 as I realized grasscutter doesn't work with 4.1, if that is relevant. I'd appreciate any help possible! I'd prefer not having to redownload the game for the third time if possible though 😕. Thanks in advance! (Please mention/@ me when responding to make sure I see it please, thanks!)

First replace mhypbase.dll in your game folder with the patch, so take version.dll from C:\Program Files\Cultivation and copy it into your game folder, then delete mhypbase.dll, then rename version.dll to mhypbase.dll

#

Then in Cultivation, check the setting for "run the game non-elevated" and then try again

#

I mentioned in my last message I was unzipping 4.0, after doing that I cannot set the executable in Cultivation to the GenshinImpact.exe. Is there something else I need to do as well? I can't test what you said to try because of this.

#

You can't set the executable in Cultivation?

#

How so

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 12:39 AM

#

When I select the executable in the settings menu, it seems to work. But when I close out the menu and open it again, the field is blank. When I try to launch, it simply shows this.

#

Ok can you go ahead and confirm for me the setting you're using in Cultivation (to be sure), your Cultivation version, and a screenshot of your game folder?

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

Of course, attached an image of the setting I'm trying to use. Attached a screenshot of the top of the window where it says Cultivation version 1.2.0 in the window, and also attached a screenshot of my game folder.

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

Ok go ahead and close Cultivation, go open configuration.json in %appdata%\cultivation, and set the game install path in it to C:\Program Files\Genshin Impact\GenshinImpact.exe save and start Cultivation again

#

Or just restart Cultivation and use the settings menu again

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 12:46 AM

#

Just tried the config edit, it didn't work. Gave me this message at the top of the window right when I started. Also just tried using settings menu again, didn't work either.

#

Cultivation removes the game path if you have it set to an invalid location is why

#

Give me a minute and I'll make you a version without it

Thank you!

📎 Cultivation_1.2.2_x64_en-US.msi

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

Should I delete the original install, or just install this on top of it?

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 1:02 AM

#

Just run this installer

#

it just updates you

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 1:05 AM

#

Thank you, that worked in making it start to launch, but then it gives me the Virtual Machine error code still

if you followed the guide and still got this warning, you either reinstall the vm or give up

#

it's too late

#

reinstall the vm and follow each step again

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

Oh, thats a bit tragic :( would it work if I copied the game files from the old VM to the new VM instead of redownloading the entire thing again? Already redownloaded it 3 times and it always takes forever.

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

I'm not sure, if you still have the vm can you try to move "GenshinImpact.exe" to desktop and try to launch it? Does it still give you the vm error?

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

Yes, it does. I'm just gonna restart fully scratch like you said then.

#

Just to make sure I download the right thing, to get 4.0 to run it on should I go to this: https://github.com/MAnggiarMustofa/GI-Download-Library/blob/main/GenshinImpact/Client/4.0.0.md and download the "Client | 4.0.0" link?

#

Yes you need the client

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 8:18 PM

#

solemn grail Yes, it does. I'm just gonna restart fully scratch like you said then.

wait

#

if it does, then instead of redownloading genshin again, if you're not sure the vm is fully completed, you might just want to keep that exe file and test on it until you don't get the vm error anymore, you should get something like unity player is missing

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 8:20 PM

#

Sorry, I already deleted that VM and the new ones setting up 😭

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 8:22 PM

#

do you have genshin in your local pc? you can also use that one

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

I do, but I'm a bit paranoid about messing it up, even if its a small chance. Also, iirc cultivation needs 4.0 or lower, and my local pc is 4.1

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 8:24 PM

#

just copy only "GenshinImpact.exe" to another folder and then use on the vm to test it, doesn't matter which version is, what you're trying is to see if it detects the vm and gives the error while launching 👍

Not Cultivation that needs it, Grasscutter only supports 4.0 and earlier

#

Cultivation can run any version of the game you want

#

Are you only trying to run this on a vm in the first place due to paranoia about bans or something?

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 8:32 PM

Ohhh, I didn't realize that, thanks!

Alright, the VM is setting up right now, should I do that after I do the program that blocks registry reading for Genshin?

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

strong pulsar Are you only trying to run this on a vm in the first place due to paranoia about...

Partially, it's for that, which I know is unlikely, but still. Also, because I thought it had to be 4.0 and didn't want to get my game versions mixed up.

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 8:34 PM

#

Sad to see so much effort put in for no reason is all

#

There's no risk whether you use vm or not

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

solemn grail Alright, the VM is setting up right now, should I do that after I do the program...

from personal experience, you can skip that because doesn't really do that much it was just for more privacy

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 8:35 PM

#

And just keep the folders separated like Genshin4.0 in your downloads folder or something, it would be very hard to mix them up

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 8:37 PM

#

strong pulsar Are you only trying to run this on a vm in the first place due to paranoia about...

i played with the vm for about 3 months for the same reason, until i realized that it doesn't really matter but having a vm that runs genshin is still nice tho

#

it's more like a "fuck you" to mhy for blocking genshin with thermida

Alright, I put the .exe into the VM and tried to start, gave this message.

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

Means the exe successfully ran, but errored because you only have the exe and not the rest of it

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

Does that mean I'm past the "cannot run under Virtual Machine" error then? I didn't do the XMS edit yet or anything though (I forget what the 3 letters are, but there are 3 of them!)

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

Probably

night shadow Oct 4, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

you should be fine now

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 11:24 PM

#

It finally finished unzipping, and I guess not :(

#

Should I add that VMX code line and then try again?

#

I added the lines to the VMX file and its starting now!!! :)

#

That was without Cultivation though, haven't installed that. Just wanted to make sure the base game started first. Will try with Cultivation, but I assume it'll work!

#

I'm sorry, I know I keep appearing with errors and stuff 😭 I'm hoping this is the last issue I run into, but how do I fix this?

strong pulsar Oct 4, 2023, 11:54 PM

#

Graphics driver issue on your vm

solemn grail Oct 4, 2023, 11:55 PM

#

How would I fix that?

strong pulsar Oct 5, 2023, 12:01 AM

#

That's up to your vm and it's settings, you'd have better luck googling about your vm

solemn grail Oct 5, 2023, 12:01 AM

#

Alright, thank you for your help!

This, I know it's unlikely but I'd prefer to use a VM. (also learned the second part is irrelevant). If you think its unnecessary, that's fine, you don't have to help or deal with it.
