The company said the update breaks the 3D acceleration feature used in Fusion. Users, “will likely see issues ranging from slow performance, to incorrect rendering, and even crashes, when you run your 3D applications in a Windows virtual machine on Mac OS X 10.5.7.”

VMWare also said that both ATI and Apple were aware of the problem and working on a fix.
