DirectX 11 Support (list of app titles)

After upgrading to Parallels Desktop 15 and Catalina, my light design software Dialux Evo 8.2 is no longer starting up. I appreciate if you could look into it, since I use it daily at work...

 

Hi KennethE1, we will take a look.

 

Much appreciated and thanks for the quick response!
I found a link on dialux forum that has similar problem, but he is running native windows and a dedicated graphic card.

My specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
2,8 GHz Tokjerners Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

 

Has anybody been able to get AutoCAD and it's verticals to utilize DirectX 11 in Parallels 15? I tried running AutoCAD and AutoCAD Civil3D with Parallels 15, but I couldn't turn on hardware acceleration in AutoCAD.
I'm using a late 2016 MacBook Pro 15" running the latest version of Catalina
Radeon Pro 455
16 GB LPDDR3

 

Hi @alev and other Parallels developers,

Could I please get a response on the DX11 to Metal crash stack trace that I posted earlier in this thread? I was a trial user, but received no response during my 14 day trial period. I'm not sure how you can list this feature as complete when many users are still reporting issues.

If you would support me, I would happily become a paid user.

Regards,
Chris

 

*** SOME SUCCESS ***
After having another try at upgrading to Mojave since Catalina was just released I experienced some frustrating troubleshooting, but ultimately had some success. Upon upgrading this time I was surprised to find that I wasn't experiencing the same disconnection with an "authentication to instance" error. I was surprised but happy and continued to then make other necessary adjustments to other things like updating mail database etc. I ran an update and things still seemed fine, but then I was prompted for another update, after which I was back to experiencing the same problem albeit not every time, usually I can load up a Toon in Path of Exile on the second attempt. But there is still something else going on because loading new areas is slower and can lead to disconnection by taking too long. I rolled back in an attempt to identify the patch level where things seemed to be fine, but in the end I couldn't be sure. So I've ended up at 10.14.6 at this stage.

HOWEVER, I have noticed that if using the Apple OS Hypervisor instead of the Parallels Hypervisor I no longer experience the disconnection issues. Interestingly I've not noticed any significant or even minor negative performance mismatch between using the Apple Hypervisor. Indeed at this stage, I'm not experiencing the disconnection issue AT ALL, and game performance is as good as ever. Upon enabling the resource monitor provided by Parallels I've noticed that although there's no concerning difference in CPU usage, there's a considerable difference in RAM usage on the part of the Parallels Hypervisor.

When running with the Parallels Hypervisor the Parallels Monitor indicates approximately 45% to 55% CPU usage during most normal gameplay, this is in keeping with the Apple Hypervisor. However RAM usage is reported as fractionally over 9GB (in the windows client) and an additional 12GB in the Host machine.

This is compared to the Apple Hypervisor session which will report approximately 6GB in the client VM and no discernable additional RAM on the Host. With or without the windows paging file enabled there's no difference. In fact I'm concerned that the Parallels Hypervisor session appears to be using more RAM than the client machine can have when I've disabled the paging file.

I will probably move up to Catalina when I've found a suitable replacement for a couple of other applications that are not 10.15.x compatible. But at this stage my resolution seems to be use the Apple Hypervisor for the present. I'll keep checking with each Parallels update, as well as 10.14.x update. I'm just not wasting anymore time troubleshooting at this stage.

 

Thanks for your work so far!

Been playing the new Halo : Master Chief Collection. When I play in bootcamp, on 1080p, "performance" graphics settings I'm getting a silky smooth 60FPS. When I play in parallels, I'm lucky to get 20 FPS and its more choppy than a set of kitchen knives. Obviously part of me is thinking this is an optimisation issue, but I'm not sure for who. It requires DX 11 (which is now a thing for us, YAY!) and the devs have specifically came out to say they've made it to play on as many different and legacy machines as possible, so as far as it being demanding, it's no where near other AAA titles coming out this year. It works in bootcamp well so hardware shouldn't be the issue. Any chance you guys could look into this and see if there's anything you can do?

For reference:
15" MBP 2018: 2.9 GHz i9, 32GB RAM, 560X 4GB, OSX Catalina, Parallels 15 Pro -> Win 10

Thanks again

 

Hi @LewisF2, to ensure that your Windows virtual machine shows the best performance, please follow the steps below:

1. Shutdown Windows virtual machine.
2. Open virtual machine's configuration > click "Change..." button > select "Games only" profile > click OK.

Note: This profile changes macOS and Windows sharing settings. If you want to enable Shared Applications and Shared Profile, visit Options tab > "Sharing" and "Applications" settings respectively.

Also please check in-game settings and try to lower resolution and graphics quality. Hope that it helps!

Cannot get rFactor2 to work on Steam... DX11 compatible but will not lead past Launcher screen.

 

Could you collect the tech report right after the issue reproduced please? And post the tech report ID here?
Also is it possible to make a short video recording of the issue and post or send it to us via the private message?
Looking forward to your reply.

 

How well does it run?

 

Hello I want to play call of duty warzone, but I can't enter in the game, all the time is
directx has suffered an unrecoverable error. Any one knows when is available direct 12??
I think is the problem, or If someone knows another solution please tell me....
thanks

 

I am also unable to launch WarZone and it would be great if you could let us know if it is even a possibility to run with Parallels. With COD's popularity it probably makes more sense for one engineer at Parallels to figure this out instead of hundreds of users wasting hours banging their heads against a wall. If it's not possible, great, I'll move on.

They have a couple of commands you can run in BattleNet to switch to Direct X 11 using the
GameOptions->GameSettings->Additional command line arguments
-d3d11
-d3d11legacy
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/56554

Neither of these seem to work and still get the direct X unrecoverable error. In all fairness, this error is fairly prevalent with PCs too, but at least there are usually know work arounds for those. On the PC there are reported issues with RTSS (Riva Tuner Statistics) and overlays. Maybe that's related to Parallels issues?

Also I find it a little weird that if I run dxdiag on Windows it tells me in the system info I am running in DirectX 12, but in Display it looks like its DirectX 11.

Thanks in advance.

 

Crossout, please! Doesn't work properly on PD15 or PD16, with a broken screen full of artifacts...

 

With the addition of the Metal 2 API in "High Sierra" it should be possible to get the full DirectX 12 feature set.
But note that for those games, being able to use more than 2GB VRAM is also important. I'd like to see that increase to 4GB at minimum, but if the only limitation is my physical RAM
This will give the windows VMs a real boost in graphics compatibility and performance.

 

Is GTA 5 still working?

 

Hey Guys,

dont know if this is D11 or D12. But can we maybe get support for Diablo II Ressurected. I get the Error, Failed to initialize graphics device. Please ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements and your drivers are up to date.

Im on MacBook Air with M1.

 

Hi, could you collect the tech report once the issue reoccurs and post it here please?
Looking forward to your reply.
