Went to launch my VM after restarting to do a parallels tools update and now my VM looks like this. When it boots there is an error dialog but I can't read it because the display looks like this. I tried installing Parallels tools again but nothing seems to happen in the VM when I click the...

Parallels Desktop 20.2.0 VM Windows 11 Pro (multiple versions tested) Apple M1 Max, OS Sonoma. After upgrading to Parallels Desktop 20, Solidworks graphics performance in "Shaded with Edges" mode takes a massive hit, becoming essentially unusable. Models/assemblies rotate and zoom fine in...

I have read about the following problems occurring around 2020 when a change was made to the game, but since then, a game update fixed them. I am trying to run World of Warcraft, subscription based, regular content. I have not downloaded the latest expansion "The War Within". Main problem: No...

I am a graphics-heavy user. An important software package I use requires OpenGL 4.5. Without it I am losing graphics functionality, limiting the software's capability. I have no alternatives to this, so am relying on Parallels to upgrade this functionality.

My Mac is an M2 Max, 32GB I've been able to run most Steam games without any issues, however, when I tried running Core Keeper there were issues with the lighting (specifically the torches- they give off no light, making much of the game too dark to see anything) which prevents the game from...

Hi, I'm currently running a virtual M1 with Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91). Whenever I go into any game on Roblox, the textures start glitching out which basically make every game I go into unplayable as it blocks my screen as well. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Is it possible to have Vulkan? I need to run X-Plane 12 but it says I don't have Vulkan... I run XP12 on my mac fine but why not in parallels?

I have recently upgraded to Windows 11 with Parallels 18. I use two applications for opening 3d models. Both applications had issues with graphics rendering proper when 3d models were open. One app had partial graphics showing and the other showed nothing. Parallels customer support tried to...

I read on another thread about issues since Parallels 17 with Hardware acceleration (https://forum.parallels.com/threads/macos12-3-monterey-vm-issues-likely-bug-in-parallels-17-1-1.356945/page-2) I find it unbelievable that this still is going on? Apart from being unable to play any sort of...

I have found multiple threads describing this issue. Some claiming it has been fixed in the latest version of parallels and others with responses saying it has very much not been fixed and is still an issue and no further responses from Parallels after that. It has not been fixed. It is still an...

Hi I've upgraded from PD17 to PD18 in two macs (MB Pro Late 2018 and MacMini 2018, both with os 12.5). PD17 was working fine with VMs (Win10 and Win11) but since the upgrade I'm having a lot of graphics issues in the VMS (apps like Visual Studio, Chrome, Office...not games), for example: I...

Hi all, Although I only use Parallels to run a couple of Windows-only apps for work, a while ago I started getting the following error after logging in: "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD...

Dear all, i've installed Gentoo arm64 with xorg, KDE and such stuff, but im unable to get the Parallels org driver for X / GL or similar acceleration working manually. Parallels-Tools does not install out of the box - I had to comment "check_required_packages()" and copy an init script...

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...

Why can't I specify graphics memory on an Intel mac? The Parallels app automatically directs me to Use automatic graphics memory on a Mac with Apple M1 chip (parallels.com). I'm on an Intel mac and I don't even have an option to set the graphics memory on this new VM (I do on my older ones). New...

During the boot process of my Big Sur or Monterey VMs, my host machine actually hangs. This happens every time one of the VMs boots up. About 1/3 through the boot progress bar everything just hangs for about 20-30 seconds...cannot move the mouse, no UI gets updated, nothing (though, if audio...

Fresh install of openSUSE Leap 15.2 with online repos enabled during install. During boot, KDE fails to load and falls back to console. In reviewing /var/log/messages, noticed this: 2021-02-26T22:52:58.739360-05:00 localhost display-manager[1645]: Starting service sddm/usr/bin/xauth: (stdin):1...
