I´m running Parallels 5 and use WindowsXP from the bootcamp partition. While windows runs games fine when running from the bootcamp partition only the games doesn´t work under Parallels5. The games seems to either CTD when loading 3D or not drawing any 3D models so the only thing i can see then is HUD and the background images but no polygons. I tried it with some simulations BOB2, Fighter Squadron, GTR Evolution. Then i ran DXdiag and in the 3D test the Cube is rendered flat. I can see the texture but not the cube itself. Looks wired. I can upload a video to youtube if needed. Specs: Parallels5, WindowsXP SP3 and DirectX 9c.
Hi Rends, please try the troubleshooting steps below: 1. Reinstall Parallels Tools 2. Disable Shared Profile (Virtual Machine > Configure > Options > clear Enable Shared Profile checkbox) 3. Enable 3D acceleration and vertical synchronization (Virtual Machine > Configure > Hardware tab > Video) Please check the performance of games after these changes are applied. I have some doubts regarding Fighter Squadron though - this game was developed for Windows 95/98 a while ago. Let me know the results.
