Hey everyone,

I recently set up a Windows virtual machine on IBM Cloud to test some applications, including San Andreas. However, I'm running into some issues:

• The game installs fine, but crashes on launch.
  Sometimes, it runs but lags heavily, even though the VM has enough resources.
  I tried adjusting compatibility settings and installing DirectX, but no luck.

Could this be due to GPU limitations in IBM Cloud's VMs? Has anyone successfully run games on IBM Cloud, or is there a workaround? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Running GTA San Andreas or GTA V on an IBM Cloud virtual machine can be challenging due to the lack of GPU support, graphical acceleration, and real-time input handling. IBM Cloud VMs are typically not optimized for gaming, leading to issues like poor performance, crashes, or missing sound. To fix these, you might need a GPU-enabled VM, install DirectX and .NET Framework, and adjust settings like running in compatibility mode or windowed mode. Alternatively, using cloud gaming platforms like Shadow or GeForce Now might offer a better experience, as IBM Cloud isn't designed for gaming workloads.
