Applications/games not working in Windows on Arm

Company of Heroes Crashes on My M1 Apple Silicon Macbook Pro. The game starts to the game menu, but then crashes to desktop when you click on a new campaign.
Have Windows 11 installed, tried the fix on the internet with no avail (screendevice=DirectX10 or DirectX9 Rendering Device) . Think it's a rather M1 Apple Chip issue. It says playable here, which it isn't:

FIFA 23 fails to launch. Says connecting to server, and goes to 100%, then returns back to Origin/EA app

 

Having trouble with World of warships, it runs, the FPS is stable on max settings, but theirs a jitter issue which the mouse will not remain smooth during gameplay with optimizations on or off , ive tried full screen exclusively, ive tried mouse borders on and i just cant seem to the game to run properly.

Theirs also slight stutters occurring quite often

 

Having trouble with Wireshark... it can't locate the Npcap.dll

 

Microsoft SQL Server can't be installed on ARM. Azure SQL edge is an alternative but doesn't have some important capabilities like CLR.

 

After seeing all the trouble folk are having with various games, etc. - perhaps I should not be surprised that attempting to get Nota Bene for Windows to work inside of Parallels on my M2 air also doesn't work. The logs show two issues, starting with: Fatal ACCESS_VIOLATION exception occurred in nbed at 0x0c9c3892. These issues do not show up when installing Nota Bene for Windows inside of Crossover for the Mac, FWIW. Suggestions?

 

FYI for folks trying to run 'Stray'. I was very wrong about it working. it will only work until the end of the first cut scene after the rain from the cave. Then it will crash every single time. Even with 16mb ram allocated on an M! MBP under Windows 11 Pro 22H2 and Parallels Desktop 18.1.1. I've done suggestions from Reddit and elsewhere with setting the shader to the lowest setting. Even when using the Steam version trying to force -dx12 or -dx11 tags and it doesn't matter. The game will start fine. I move the cat around. I complete the first task in the cave till I nap, and after the cat wakes up, it will crash when a butterfly goes by every time. The crash is with the unreal engine. One suggestion even was to separately install the engine from Unreal. That didn't work either.

 

Hey @BradB7, JFYI, our developers have been working for some time on the "Stray" game issue, but there is quite a challenge to fix the game crash. We continue to work on it but please don't expect a fix in the near future. Looking forward to your understanding! If there are other games you have tried or about to try in Windows powered by Parallels Desktop, please let me know! I would love to know your experience.

 

Just upgraded to Parallels 18 and installed Windows 11 on my M2 Mac mini. Xbox app still doesn't allow for downloading games from game pass - getting a "unsupported processor" error. Unfortunate as this was the only reason I went to the trouble to get Parallels and Windows.

 

Dear Parallels Team
Is there any news regarding support for games like "Stray" on Windows ARM and M2?

 

Is there any news regarding DirectX 12 support? I've just bought Hogwarts Legacy, hoping to be able to play it as soon the download had finished, only to discover that DirectX 12 does not work on parallels.

 

Can't get Autodesk Inventor Pro 2023 to work on Parallels, it crashes after a short while after pushing Create.
Parallels 18.2.0, MBP 16 M1 Max and Windows 11 Pro for Workstation 22H2 OS build 22621.1265.

 

I've got an M2 Max w/96GB Ram, having an issue with a SignalHound Spectrum Analyzer device that utilizes CYUSB3 drivers. The auto installer completes successfully but when I plug that device in it popups up in Device Manager with the Alert Triangle. I point it to the driver folder the manufacturer directed me to but that doesn't help as it says no driver found. I reached out to the manufacturer and they don't support utilizing their devices nor software via VM. This device worked perfectly fine for numerous year on my 2019 i9 MBP. Any thoughts or help?

 

Resolved, it was mfc140u.dll ver 14.32.31332.0 that gave an error in the Event Viewer.
Installed mfc140u.dll ver 14.34.31938.0 with the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable x64 file.
3D in Inventor Pro 2023 is working. HURRA!

 

EA App launcher doesn't open... crashes right away

 

Same here... I bought Internet Download Manager when I had a windows 10 PC, and I bought Parallels to be able to continue to use IDM on my new MacBook Pro, but the Browser Integration is not functional and IDM support says they doesn't support ARM or the moment...

The Long Dark is missing snow terrain textures, I can see right through it.
Mass Effect: Andromeda Deluxe has blinding white flashes over most of the screen on the main menu background and during gameplay.

 

Diablo IV beta will not run on Parallels. I get an error saying no GPU can be found and that a GPU is required to run the application. I saw some people post on reddit talking about the same issue with the Beta 3 months ago. I did not see any resolution for this. Has anyone seen this error on other games? Any thoughts on a solution? I know it plays on Win10, I don't think its the usual DirectX12 issue.

 

Not sure if there can be a solution. Maybe Parallels could fake a GPU, but that might cause other problems. It's just bad programming from the Diablo IV devs. They check for a GPU and obviously don't find one, because M-Series is a SoC.

 

yeah, I thought it was strange that they bother to look for a GPU. I gave parallels 8GB for the GPU, so it would have been fine. Intentionally ignoring SoC seems like they are giving themselves unnecessary handcuffs.
