    Trying to get SignalHound's Spike signal analysis software running, and find a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" caused as a result of this error in syslog:
    ```
    meta_window_set_stack_position_no_sync: assertion 'window->stack_position >= 0' failed
    ```

    This happenes after starting Spike software from the command line. Same result when run as normal user and root. Same result with Signalhound device plugged in vs not.

    I ran the program with Valgrind and have attched the logs, perhaps that's of some use. Same with syslogs.


    Parallels toolbox for Ubuntu is installed and up to date on the VM.
    Parallels is up to date.
    MacOS is up to date.
    Ubuntu is up to date.
    I'm trying to run the most up-to-date version of spike.

    I've verified that the Spike software + Sigalhound hardware work just fine on a different (x86) computer.

    Specs:
    Macbook M1 Max (10 cores, 64GB RAM)
    MacOS: 15.0.1 (Latest available)
    Parallels: Version 20.1.0 (55732) (latest available)
    VM: Ubuntu 24.04 x64 w/ Rosetta enabled.
    VM Resources: 4 cores, 8GB RAM, access to the SignalHound BB60C USB device.

    Verified USB is connected:
    ```
    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$ lsusb
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 002: ID 203a:fffc PARALLELS Virtual Mouse
    Bus 003 Device 003: ID 203a:fffb PARALLELS Virtual Keyboard
    Bus 003 Device 004: ID 2817:0005 Signal Hound, Inc. FX3
    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$ sudo ./Spike
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$
    ```

    Any assistance is appreciated, thank you

    "Lost Ark currently has compatibility issues with ARM64 architecture, so running it on devices like M1/M2 Macs through Parallels can be challenging. Since Lost Ark is designed for x86, it doesn't natively support ARM64, which can cause problems even with emulation. A potential workaround is to use x86 virtualization within Parallels, but performance may vary. Hopefully, with the growing demand, the developers might consider ARM64 compatibility in the future. Has anyone found a more effective solution for this issue?"

    Amnesia: Rebirth and Amnesia: The Bunker both give black screens after the intro. I can hear the game music and people talking, but nothing on the screen.

    I have tried setting the graphics lower, turning off special effects, limiting shadows, switching to windowed mode, etc. Nothing makes any difference. Neither game requires DirectX 12 (I always check before purchasing a Windows game)

    This is on M3 Max MacBook Pro, in case that matters
