    Hello,

    last weekend I was trying to install my sons Game Lego Batman 3 for Windows on my iMac.
    On his computer all is running well and he is using a native Win10 PC.

    However, the install running through and all seems to be good.
    Not really, to play the game it seems all to be fine, but the sequences like intro or between the levels are looking strange.

    Does anybody know why or what should I change in the setup?
    Direct X 10.0 and vertical... is activated for the Parallels Win10 session.
    I have increased the Graphic Memory from 512MB to 2GB.
    Still strange sequences.

    The setup:
    Software: OS el capitan, Parallels, Win10
    all are up to date.
    Hardware: iMac 27 Retina, i7, 16GB, 4GB Graphic

    I hope anybody can help me.
    Best regards

    Hi, no errors, the installation run through without any trouble.
    The whole game is running fine, only the sequences are strange.
    I guess the issue is the 3D emulation on parallels?!
    Cheers

    Thank you for your reply.
    And did you try to change the graphics memory?

    Hello Michael9,
    You may try to change DirectX to version 9 and if your resolution settings are not being saved in-game, you can do that manually by altering pcconfig.txt file. You can find the file in C:\Users\your_user\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGO Batman 3 Beyond Gotham.
    Open the file and change the resolution to your linking and save the changes. You can mark the file read-only so that the game does not overwrite any changes you made earlier.

    Many thanks, I will try all these settings tomorrow.
    Do you have an advice for the resolution?

    Good morning PaulChris,
    I was trying your hint this morning with direct x 9.0 and a fixed resolution of 1280x1024 and afterwards with 1024x768.
    Lego Batman 3 is not running anymore, it stops quit after starting a new game and before the intro sequence starts. There it is like a dead loop, black screen with a rotating bat symbol in the lower right corner and alternating hints on top how to play the game. Thats it.
    Lego Marvel Super Hero, looks the same, still damagef sequenced and the game itself is all fine.
    Btw, the damaged sequences looks like you seeing a science fiction movie when the camera view is out of a starship window and they use hyper boost
    Best regards

    Hello,
    I found a solution, but you won't like it.
    I was downloading a trial version of an other distributor.
    All runs fine, no extra configuration, simple run through all the setup routine, that's it.

    And now?
    Any idea?

    I would prefer to support a Mac dinosaur product!

    Best regards
