Hi.
I could use some help...
i've seen people in here say they've gotten EU3 working with Parallels. I had tried on Parallels 3.0, and just given up because of its poor 3D support, but most of the games I had that were broken with 3.0 are now working in 4.0. EU3, however, is still not working for me.
I have an early 08 Macbook Pro, 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, GeForce 8600M GT 512MB VRAM, 1920x1200 LCD, and a Hitachi 185GB 7200rpm HDD, running 10.5.5 with all updates current. The install it is running off of is my BootCamp partition, running Windows XP SP3 with all current updates and (Apple-supplied) drivers, on the same HDD as my OS X install.
I always get exactly the same symptoms, no matter what I do - everything starts and runs fine through the intro movies and initialization, but when it gets to the start menu, the menu graphic is centered at the upper right hand corner of the screen (so I only see the lower left quarter of it), all the button graphics are mashed together, and the actual button hotspots are invisible at, presumably, their normal places on the screen.
This has happened with both Parallels 4.0 builds 3522 and 3540. It happens both with parallels in fullscreen mode and windowed. It happens in both those cases with EU3 running full screen or in a window, with multiple different resolutions chosen. It happens both with and without the 'Adjust the Host computer's resolution in full screen' box checked. It happens with parallels set to both 128mb and 256mb video ram. It happens with and without antialiasing on, and with and without each of all four video options checked in EU3. It happens at both 1024 and 1536mb of memory dedicated to the virtual machine. It happens with base EU3, with the Napoleon's Ambition addon, and with the In Nomine addon.
The game and both addons all run flawlessly when booted into Windows XP through Bootcamp.
I am out of ideas. Has anyone else seen this happen? Has anyone solved it, or does anyone have any suggestions of what else I might try?
Thank you.
