Hello,
I am getting an error message that will not allow for me to play Fortnite through my Parallels environment. I did not have this issue with my older MacBook Pro from 2019.

When I go to load Fortnite, I get teh following error message
Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Driver Load Error (1275).​

Below are the details of my virtual machine. I am running an Apple M1 chipset.

Please help!
 
I had a similar issue when I tried to run Fortnite on my M1 MacBook using Parallels. After doing some digging, I found out that Fortnite's anti-cheat system, BattlEye, doesn't play nice with virtual machines. It's super frustrating, I know. You might want to consider setting up a dual boot system with Windows using Boot Camp, which should work better with Fortnite. It's a bit of a hassle to set up, but it's worth it to get your game running smoothly.

By the way, I got some awesome Fortnite accounts and skins from https://flipd.gg/Forum-Fortnite-Accounts-for-Sale a while back. It's unrelated to the issue you're having, but I thought I'd share since we're both Fortnite fans.
