Hello, I have downloaded parallels, i guess you would call it a beta for the Mac M1 chip, and the Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview and it was at first running fine. I was doing this so I can play Apex Legends on my Mac computer and I got all the way to the end. I have both Steam and Origin downloaded and on both with Apex Legends, when I go to start up the game it says "Launch Error Unsupported host machine architecture. (ARM64)" If anyone knew how to proceed through this error, or avoid it I would very much appreciate it. This is literally the one step I have to succeed through to be able to actually play my game. Thanks.
How do i fix Launch Error - Unsupported host machine architecture. (ARM64)
- Thread starter JumperC
- Start date

Hello, what is your Parallels Desktop version?
Do you have a backup copy of your Windows virtual machine?

SOLUTION (at least for me):
For some reason I cannot edit my previous reply, I mistyped and my answer is a bit short there too so I will explain better here:
To start the game do NOT start it from your shortcut on the desktop. Start it by going into Steam and hit the green play button. A pop up will ask to play the game WITH or WITHOUT anti cheat function disabled. (this confused me because of the double negation) The top one is default BUT pick the BOTTOM option instead that says to disable the anti cheat. Now IT WORKS! At least it does for me. If you have issues with crashing every now and then (I did), change the video setting to "low". It works like a charm now on my Parallels.

I am having the same issue! The "Iris2" guy from above said he clicked the other option. That's fine if you want to play local but I specifically want to play online multiplayer. Is that even possible? The only way to allow this to happen is for the easy anticheat to be functioning. Please please please fix this! Now more then ever. The new Mac's that are coming out with the new M1 pro and Max are going to be amazing for gaming and we need these things working. Thank you!
What makes you think I am a guy, dude...
Please submit a tech report (like Parallels asks above here, so attach it to their comment please ) so Parallels can see if they can do anything about it ..
Anyway, I think the issue lies with the anti-cheat, not Parallels, not even the game itself, but (in this case) the code of the anti-cheat will not work on M1 or ARMS, hence disabling the anti-cheat makes the game work (again; in this instance, some games don't work at all. Some games do work normally; I am able to play Batman Arkham asylum just fine). It would be great if Parallels could look into it though; to make sure there is not something they can do, but honestly I think it is up to the game devs.
