    Yep. It's basically the same kind of stupid programming that prevents some programs from being installed because the installer checks for an Intel CPU. The app would run fine with Microsoft's emulation otherwise.
    I suppose Diablo IV wouldn't work anyway, though. It requires DirectX 12.

    I just installed Diablo 4 (Open Beta) on Parallels Desktop 18 Pro running Battle.net on Windows 11 Pro 22h2. The game does not launch due to the "No GPUs found!" error. Parallels Desktop was configured for games only. I tried to update and restart Battle.net and then "Scan and Repair" game files to no avail. Error message as follows: No GPUs found! A GPU is required to play Diablo IV. This might occur if you are currently installing GPU drivers.

    I also tried updating Battle.net to beta then rebooted both Windows 11 & Ventura - the same result. I guess Diablo 4 can't detect "Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM)" as GPU although the M1 chip had 8 core GPU. My other games Diablo II LoD and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 worked fine.

    Unfortunately, SQLServer cannot installed either here. I tried a lot but failed.

    Did not want to waste a separate thread, but I can confirm that with some flickering (though I've yet to mess with settings), on a 2020 M1 MBP with 16gb Ram, under parallels Pro 18.2 and Windows 11 Pro, that the Frogwares game "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2023)" remastered version of the 2008 release works Good under Steam. Upon first launch it will tell you to run as DX11, so simply use steam to update the launch parameters to "-dx11" and it will launch and run fine.

    At this time: The Witcher 3 runs... but all characters are invisible in Parallels. This works fine in Crossover.

    I am trying to install X-Plane 12 under Parallels latest version / Win 11 Pro on my Mac M1 Studio Ultra.

    Either the newest parallel update or the newest game updat has fixed this issue.

    Unfortunately, there is no land visible while playing "Knights of Honor II" through Parallels Desktop for Mac as everything is covered by water (see attached image).

    How could such an issue can be resolved.

    Hello! I want to launch the game editor, it starts, but when I try to open the map, it gives an error "texRT: failed". I contacted the developer and he said that the engine is written in directx 9 and there may be some problems with creating textures when emulating windows. I tried to install older versions of directx - it does not help. Can you help me please?

    Neither ESRI Drone2Map nor Fallout 4 are working for me. Both crash after I try to run the app from the launcher (fallout after the launcher changes settings, Drone2Map after trying to create a new project. I have Parallels set to Design but it does it on Gaming mode too.

    Hello,
    We have created a support ticket for you to further investigate the behaviour of these applications.
    Please check your Parallels account e-mail for initial instructions.
    Thank you!

    Didn't see world of warcraft classic mentioned (sorry if I overlooked it)

    Battle.net launcher seems to work although with some rare occasional graphical glitches/slowdowns. Can download and play diablo 3 and hearthstone without issues but launching wow classic results in bluescreen "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" 0x0000001e and just reboots.
    I've noticed that the game itself is the arm64 version so the game should in reality have a pretty nice performance (if it worked). Thinking it would be related to the arm version, I also tried to manually transfer a x86/x64 version of the game and launch but that didn't work.

    Also tried adding -d3d11 as additional command line argument, still same...

    I know theres a native arm m1 version for macos but I dont wanna install battle.net + discord etc filling up my main drive or add lots of bloat hence i'd rather run the vm on a nvme thunderbolt drive which works perfectly fine for other games and tasks.

    MBP M1 Pro, Monterey 12.6.7
    Parallels desktop 18.3.2 (53621)
    VM: Windows 11 arm64 (clean fresh install, tried reinstall aswell)
    Anyone have any idea what to look for to help solve this issue?
