Hello, I'm on Parallels 13 trial period. The only reason why I installed it, was so that my son's Mac (2011 running Yosemite), can handle the new game Minecraft Dungeons on Windows 10. Windows is running fine, and Minecraft Dungeons installed without problem. It opens and runs the intro BUT...

Dear Parallelers, as stated i am using a Parallels 15 Desktop 15 Pro on an MBP 16 with Catalina (10.15.3) as host and a Catalina (10.15.3) as guest. I first recognized problems with the Chrome UI (bars and tabs), which i was able to fix by turning of Chrome´s hardware acceleration...

I decided to install a Mountain Lion guest mostly for the purpose of viewing what software design was back in the day. I know around this time, @2x graphics were introduced. How can I view these on the guest instead of the normal resolution graphics?

I just set up a Mojave VM to keep my "old" 32-bit Apps running. In the configurations I can set the graphic memory up to 2 GB, but in the VM only 256 MB is shown. This affects the installation of MS Office 2011:Mac and software that needs more graphic memory (Civ V and others) won't start up. I...

Hi! Just installed Catalina release on 2016 MacBook Pro running PD13 and Windows 10 VM. Everything was working well before the install, but now VM is noticeably slow - hovering mouse over messages in Outlook, the highlight follows the cursor with a 0.5 second delay. Tried reinstalling Parallels...

Hello, I am wondering about the configuration for the allocated graphics in the configure menus. I have an eGPU with an AMD Vega 64 (8GB Video Memory) currently working properly on the latest Beta of Catalina with my 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro 2.7Ghz i7. In the configuration menus, under the...

Hi there, I installed Skyrim in my Parallels 14 VM, and after installing some mods it said 'd3dx9_43.dll' is missing at game startup and crashed. I saw that this was a common problem with the game / mods itself and the solution was to download the d3dx9_43.dll (Microsoft DirectX 9.0c) from the...

Running Parallels 14 and Windows 10 on Mac OS Mojave. My issue is that the settings under Hardware/Graphics regarding Retina/DPI are sometimes missing resulting in blurry applications in windows. Currently I only have the option "Memory - Auto (Recommended)" and not the options "Scaled", "Best...

In this old posting a problem was explained regarding graphical anomalies in the application. The poster was told by Parallels support to go to VM Configuration > Hardware > Video > Change to DirectX9 and disable Vertical synchronization. This was supposed to be for a macOS guest machine and so...

I found what is arguable either a bug or a (misguided, IMO) attempt to make the UI 'simpler'. Either way, it's incredibly confusing. What's occurring is that the Configuration->Hardware->Graphics options are not available in the Parallels configuration UI after a certain series of events...

Hello Parallels Forum, Might you enlighten me on the changes to "recommended" and "required" for VRAM in Guest OS's? This is universally for any guest os. I am trying to understand the changes in Parallels 13. In the past the "recommended" memory for Graphics was much high. In Parallels 13 it...
