When using VMware Fusion on a Mac, resolution issues can become distorted or incorrect after switching between screens. This is a common problem that’s easily solvable!
Issue
Incorrect display settings can cause the screen to become distorted or incorrect after switching between screens. This issue is more noticeable when switching from the host screen back to the VMware Fusion window where the game or application is running.
When playing several FPS games on my Mac using VMware Fusion, I have noticed that my mouse won’t turn around correctly.
Software
VMware Fusion (13.5.2)
macOS Sonoma (14.5)
Windows 11 Pro (23H2)
Cause
VMware detects the mouse movement inside the game and also in the host machine’s environment, which causes issues with mouse detection and handling. When I try to turn around using mouse, it cuts off at the edge of the virtual machine and is then detected as mouse movement in the host environment. For example, this issue affect Counter Strike 2 game.
