[in progress] OpenGL 4 Support (list of app titles and their status inside)

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

We've clarified the information with the Development Team, and we'd like to confirm that indeed currently Parallels Desktop only support up to OpenGL 3.3 in Windows virtual machines. Our Development Team is working on implementing support for higher versions. At the same time, it is important to note that in macOS itself, the support is limited to up to OpenGL 4.1. Therefore, it isn't likely that support for higher versions of OpenGL in virtual machines running on macOS will be implemented in the foreseeable future.

This could be a great opportunity to go way beyond what MacOS natively supports.
One path to achieve that would be for Parallels to implement drivers for Vulkan (possibly achieved as a thin wrapper around MoltenVK).. which may then provide a path to using Zink to achieve OpenGL 4.6 support.

Hello!
As per our tests, the Dialux Evo app works fine in a 24H2 Windows 11 on Arm virtual machine in Parallels Desktop 20 running on a Mac with an Apple silicon chip. Please test it and let us know if you have any issues.
 
Hi there, I'm trying to install the newest Dialux EVO version DIALux_evo_13_2 because Dialux don't support my older version anymore who was working fine. I have a Mac M1 Max 15.6.1 (24G90) 32GB Version, when I try to install DIALux it says it needs to have at least a OpenGL 3.2 Graphic card, any idea what I need to do that this is working again? would be happy to get support here
Kind Regards Rachel
 
It is weird because the apps in CYPE3D and CYPECAD they open, but I cannot use the 3D view. I will post an example.
I would love to see this fixed.
When I move it, it looks awful, and sometimes I need to meet with my clients.Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.47.35 PM.png Screenshot 2025-12-11 at 5.47.05 PM.png
