I need Open GL 4.5 as soon as possible. If I had known, that the Programm I really need to do my job, is not Running on Parallels, I would not have bought Parallels.
And I only bought Parallels to run this specific Programm. this make no sence.
 
I'm seeing that OpenGL 4.5 is getting closer. Blender needs it apparently, which means I can't run Blender on my M2 Mac Parallels install without it.

Hey @RobertC51, rest assured that we keep working on leveling up OpenGL for Windows support, but please don't expect it anytime soon. Meanwhile, please check if the Blender 3.3 LTS version suits your needs, as reportedly, this version runs under the latest Parallels Desktop version 19.1.1. If this version is not good for you, please let me know what features you are missing so that we know what to focus on.
 
@Dmitry@Parallels that is the most weird way to respond, given you are at the end of a thread with probably a hundred users telling you at least 4 is imperative.
I bought parallels for 4.5 is a release from almost 10 years ago, it's pathetic that it isn't already supported. to say "don't expect it any time soon" is such a sorry joke

@IoanE, I understand your frustration, I just want you to have realistic expectations. This story would progress faster if only OpenGL wouldn't be deprecated in macOS and capped at version 4.1.
 
We need Open GL 4.5 support in order to run out lighting simulation software „Relux Desktop" in our office. As long as there's not such a feature, we cannot use Parallels Desktop anymore.
 
We need at least OpenGL 4.3 in the near future otherwise Parallels can not longer be used by our company for the new versions of the Cadence PCB tools (Allegro X, Orcad X) for the their new 3D environment. We are going to switch to the new versions of the tools with or without Parallels. When there is no VM solution available we will switch to native installations.
