Hello! The situation is that most games I play via Steam doesn't work in Parallels (or work with major visual glitches) compared to running the same games via CrossOver (including DX11 games). I am on Apple Silicon M4 Max MacOS 15.5, running Windows 11 VM. Is it the limitation of Parallels? or...

Trying to play this old video game from childhood. Its only requirements are listed in the screenshot I posted below. Basically a 32mb video card, directX 9 support, and 32 bit color compatible graphics. So my M1 Mac should definitely be able to handle this with parallels I would think...

I know this has been asked many, many times (including by myself) but was curious if anyone from Parallels (or someone with actual knowledge) can comment on if Parallels will ever be able to set up its graphics instructions to emulate (or whatever it is called) DirectX 12 instructions? Seems...

I'm trying to play a game on the epic games launcher through Parallels Desktop 18 for Mac (standard edition) on a M2 Pro (macOS 15.2) but I'm getting the error "dx12 is not supported on your system. Try running without -dx12 or -d2d12 command line argument." In my googling, I found a thread...

Like the title says - any news/updates on being able to run DirectX 12 games on Windows 11ARM under Parallels 20???

This is a shock to me. On a whim I downloaded Alone in the Dark (2024) which requires DirectX 12. The game is slower loading than on my Steam Deck (likely in part because the Steam Deck downloads a lot of the precompiled shaders when you install games) but the game does work! I haven't tried...

Have they finally added DirectX 12 support yet? I downloaded and upgraded my Parallels to 20. Went in to Windows 11 - did they updates and then tested the two installed programs that I need (Links 2003 for play and Lotus Approach for society work) and they are both fine. Have not tried...

I feel duped. At the least, misled. Parallels advertises that you can use their VM software to do Windows gaming on a Mac. I'm an avid PC gamer and I work in IT, so I know how VMs work. But they didn't even write in DirectX 12 support? I have a M1 Macbook with 64GB RAM. Here's my experience so...

I am running latest version of Parallels Pro with Windows 11 Pro. Windows says it is running Direct X 12 but when I tried installing Diablo IV it says that my graphic chip isn't supported (Apple Silicon M3 chip). Any news when Parallels plans to correct this - if it is actually possible? Thanks.

Easy to replicate, check for game Solasta, it says not compatible because the CPU, then check for Gears of War 4, it says compatible, they both are the same only available for x64 CPU architecture, and in the case of Solasta it only checks the CPU architecture as incompatibility reason. Another...

I am trying to run an older game on my Mac M1 Mini, and am getting severe performance issues from time to time and sometimes (not always though) an error message that DX9 failed to load. I have looked up in my settings and I can't change anything about graphics settings in control center, it...

Trying to enable DirectX 11, Running Windows 11 Home 22621.1635 with MacOS 13.1 as the host on Parallels 18. I've installed both DirectX End User Runtimes and Enabled Graphics Tools, yet Windows still thinks it's on DirectX 10. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I just got Parallels yesterday specifically so that I can play Hogwarts Legacy. I installed the game with no problem... however, it gives me this error every time I try to run it through Steam: I have spent hours trying to fix this with youtube tutorials yet nothing has helped. Any way...

Like the title says, any update on when (or if) Parallels will have support for Direct X 12? I am running Parallels 18.1.1 and Windows 11 PRO with the newest updates and it still appears that games that require Direct X 12 still won't work with an error message about the display. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am a big fan of retro FIFA games. Recently I switched from my MB Pro 2017 with Windows 10 to a new M1 MB Air 2020, 16GB RAM and Windows 11 - Parallels Desktop 17. After setting up Windows 11 and installing FIFA 08, 09, 10, 13, 16 and 17 (the latter three via Origin), I found out...

I contacted Apple to ask them more info about Apple Silicon family capabilities and they replied to me with this statement: They also added: So, dear Parallels, you have no excuses now to bring both AVX/AVX2 and DirectX12 to Parallels for ARM architecture.

I know there is probably a lot that will not be supported, but I thought I would ask anyway. DXDiag shows that Windows 11 ARM64 in Parallels is DirectX 12. There are still many games that don't work. I also can't really see a "driver" other than sometihng pretty generic. My question is whether...

Can you give us an ETA for DirectX 12 by chance? The 32 Core GPU will arrive soon (and mine, too) and with DirectX 12 support, Parallels Desktop for M1 would get a huge boost - I guess ;-) Looking forward to play AAA titles like Cyberpunk or RDR2. Kind regards Mario

Hi! Can't play games in DirectX 12. Already tried to force dx11 but still doesn't work. ( i have an eGPU) Any workaround for this?

Hello! I normally use my MacBookPro to administrate and code for a game server I'm currently running. So I recently bought a version of Parallels Desktop 16 to help me run an offline version of the game (DayZ) -where I can test my codes more effectively- without having to constantly switch...
