How to fix game in BlueStacks which is displaying graphics in black?

When running KoA in BlueStacks Android emulator on macOS Sierra (MacBook Pro), most of the graphics have black patches, although it works fine on the phone.

I've reported the problem in BlueStacks support, but they're not supporting Mac without even investigating the issue. Although maybe there is some simpler solution or hack which somebody came across, since BlueStacks operates in VirtualBox environment running Android OS, so maybe there are some tweaks to fix this issue.

There is a related issue: Why Am I Getting Black Screen On BlueStacks? and Why Am I Getting Black Patches On Clash Of Clans?

In ~Library/BlueStacks/Android I've got some .vdi along with Android.vbox.

I've tried to edit Android.vbox manually (which is in XML format) and enabled 2D and 3D acceleration, so the line is as below:

<Display VRAMSize="12" monitorCount="1" accelerate3D="true" accelerate2DVideo="true"/>

However after BlueStacks restart, it didn't help.

Solution 1:

It seems the problem exists only on macOS and probably on Linux as well. However, I was able to run BlueStacks App Player on Windows 2012 virtual machine on Amazon EC2 and connected to it via the Remote Desktop app client on macOS and the graphics seem to works fine. It works slow on a medium type of instance but should work a bit faster on the large one.
