Letting you guys know it does not run on Mac M1 Parallel which is a shame

If there is just a simple problem with a work around then let me know.

Hi,
Looks like this thread has been turned into "all things Diablo 2 Ressurected on Macs under parallels", so here's me:
*Error message attached*
"Failed to Initialize graphics device. Please ensure your PC meets the minimum..."
On a 2017 MacBook Pro, latest Parallels, latest Windows 10. (2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16GB, Radeon Pro 555 2GB).
My searching and research suggests the problem is either:
1) Parallels not supporting DTX12 in quite the way it needs to?
or
2) Windows on Parallels can only see the integrated (Intel HD Graphics 630) and can't see the Radeon Pro card?
best regards!

I watch the forum every day hoping someone can find a solution to run the game. I made an email support request to Parallels, but they never answered me ... I got the exact same error message with Parallels 17 and Windows 11 on my MacBook Pro M1

Haven't seen any updates from Parallels support yet but since someone from their team responded to this thread I hope they're keeping an eye on it... Even a quick update of "yes, we're aware there is an issue and we're working on a fix" or even "there won't be any way to fix this" officially from them would be appreciated.

Has anyone tried installing it via Linux? I've seen threads that it can be. Try a linux distro VM under parallels and use that? I'm thinking once Steam is supported for a release, you could use something like ZorinOS to do so.

I'm not a Gamer, but all these posts about games not working now with Windows 11 ARM in Parallels (especially Steam), I'm wondering if the WDDM 2.0 driver is the issue? Parallels only has 1.3 in DXDiag for DirectX 12.

Interesting. I haven't heard any updates from Blizzard or Parallels. I wonder if there is a patch someone can make?

Would love to know but my "other" issue is I had my M1 iMac built with 8GB RAM and Parallels will only use 4GB for Windows 11 - which does run fine on 4GB - but D2R requires 8 so don't even know if it will run after the issues are solved by Parallels.

I see that Parallals Desktop has just been updated to 17.1.0. Has anyone tried to run d2:r on it?

i also have the same error , last version Parallels on new iMac 24 M1 with 16gb , I try also to "estend" ram to max 16GB (so 8gb for graphic): same error so I think is not a diablo 2 graphic memory requisite (min 8gb). I have new license key of WIN 11 PRO from Microsoft store.
I purchesed Parallels to play with Diablo 2 Resurected. thanks bye
