Parallels 17 screen flickering, artifacts and red flash

[fpmalard]

Hello,
Just installed Parallels 17 with its default video settings and have also tried a bunch of OpenGL boot flags like "video.gl3=2" and "video.gl3=1".
In all cases I can see red flashes and graphical distortions on some applications like AutoCAD.
This wasn't happening with previous latest 16.x version.
I was hoping the new version would come with lots of improvements and bug fixes with OpenGL but it seems it is quite the opposite.
Disappointing.
