I was considering purchasing Parallels 17 for gaming, but I wanted to see if Fallout New Vegas was playable first. It's not. The game loops between the last two frames when you look at certain areas. The game doesn't crash, as soon as I look away it continues running like nothing happened...

What settings are suggested for best gaming performance on Windows with Parallels on M1 Macs? Most games run fine, but there is an occasional stutter, which is a bit annoying. Thank you!

Hello! I normally use my MacBookPro to administrate and code for a game server I'm currently running. So I recently bought a version of Parallels Desktop 16 to help me run an offline version of the game (DayZ) -where I can test my codes more effectively- without having to constantly switch...

If anyone from Parallels can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to run Train Sim World 2 on my Windows ARM VM on my Mac mini. Unfortunately, the game hasn't been able to run on my computer at all, and it's primarily the reason I would've purchased Parallels in the...

Hello, whenever I run Roblox on my Parallels Desktop all of the textures glitch and do not work. Is it because I am playing on a 64 bit emulator and roblox is a 32 bit game?

SYSTEM iMac 3.8GHz, 8-core i7, 64GB RAM GPU Radeon Pro 5700XT Parallels v16 Windows 10 PROBLEM Parallels (even Parallels Pro) is beginning to struggle to run current games which use modern graphics cards. Live example is Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), released August 2020, which creates a...

I've recently bought the game Fall Guys and it's great for the most part except this one game type that requires you to pick up these eggs, I can see some of the eggs, but then they will flicker and disappear and a majority of them are just invisible the entire time. I've also encountered a...

Hello, I'm on Parallels 13 trial period. The only reason why I installed it, was so that my son's Mac (2011 running Yosemite), can handle the new game Minecraft Dungeons on Windows 10. Windows is running fine, and Minecraft Dungeons installed without problem. It opens and runs the intro BUT...

I am using the latest version of Parallels 15 and I would like to game on Windows 10 using my Bootcamp image via Parallels. Lately, however, games refuse to start. When I try to play Forza Horizon 4, I get an error message saying that my Graphics card doesn't support DX12 although when running...

I've purchased Parallels 15 this week to run Win10 on Catalina. Goal was to get rid of Bootcamp and do some light gaming that is not available to MacOS. So far I've tried DayZ and Euro Truck Simulator 2 but both games have extremely poor performance (5-10 FPS on lowest settings) Setup: 2018...

Hello there, after a long time I thought I want to play again some game. And I stumpled upon Disco Elysium which really looks & feels great. No problem there on my windows PC, but I want not to play such a game in my office. So I thought to install Parallels with an Win10 VM. Installed GOG...

Hello, in https://www.parallels.com/blogs/just-released-parallels-desktop-for-mac/ , Parallels Audience Marketing Manager Kayla Myrhow mentioned that lots of people have been able to run Doom 2016 in Parallels, but I can see no evidence of this in the forums. When I try to run it, I get...

I upgraded to Parallels 15, and am trying to run Overwatch in a Windows 10 VM. While some portions of the game run at a smooth (capped) 70fps, it will suddenly stall for seconds at a time, making it unplayable. Video: I'm running a 13" 2018 MacBook Pro with a Razer Core X and RX 590. (Running...

Hello, I am wondering about the configuration for the allocated graphics in the configure menus. I have an eGPU with an AMD Vega 64 (8GB Video Memory) currently working properly on the latest Beta of Catalina with my 2018 13-inch MacBook Pro 2.7Ghz i7. In the configuration menus, under the...

Hi there! I was wondering if the performance improvements for DirectX11 are already noticeable in the Catalina beta, if I wanted to try that? I assume these performance improvements are due to native Swizzling support in Metal 3.0?

Hi there! Whenever I want to play Black Desert Online in my Parallels virtual machine, it gives the message 'This app cannot run under a Virtual Machine'. I know that we are able to fix this ourselves by deleting the contents of 'SystemBiosVersion' entry in RegEdit (Windows), as the app seems...

Hi there! I've been seeing a bit of chatter about DX11/12 support in the feature requests section, and I was wondering how you plan to implement this? Do you have your own in house DX11/12 --> Metal translation or would you be using something like MoltenVK + DXVK? Any information is...

I recently downloaded Parallels 13 to play a game on Steam that only supports Windows. The game is Hakuoki Kyoto Winds and I was able to install it but when I click play... the game runs and a black screen pops up for a few seconds and closes and nothing happens. It's like the game crashed...

Hi to all, I am using my Macbook Pro 2017 for business purposes. But I am also a video game player, so I want to play games on my Macbook. It has Radeon Pro 560 GPU, 16 GB RAM and i7 processor. It can handle most of the games I think. Now, I am trying to play Division 2. I installed the game and...
