    Hello everybody,

    I'm quite curious that I can run easyly Civ5 with DX9 in all possible settings set to high quality but as soon as I start Civ5 with DX10/11 it's getting totally laggy (even with the lowest settings possible)

    Is this normal? It feels like I am missing some settings unless someone tells me that the hardware can't handle it. Here is my system specs

    Host: macOS Catalina - 10.5.4 - 2,9 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i9 - 32G RAM - Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB
    Guest: Windows 10 Pro | Parallels Tools: 15.1.4.47270
    VM Settings:
    - Optimisation: No-Limit | CPU: 4 | Memory: 8GB
    - Graphics: Scaled | Vsync: enabled | Automatic Graphics switching: enabled
    - CPU: Hypervisor: Parallels | Adaptive Hypervisor: enabled

    @sikei Hi, please ensure that the virtual machine profile was set to games only mode by referring this KB article https://kb.parallels.com/124264 and if the issue still persists please uninstall and reinstall the civilization 5 game to check it's working fine.
