Thanks alot !

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.

We've clarified the information with the Development Team, and we'd like to confirm that indeed currently Parallels Desktop only support up to OpenGL 3.3 in Windows virtual machines. Our Development Team is working on implementing support for higher versions. At the same time, it is important to note that in macOS itself, the support is limited to up to OpenGL 4.1. Therefore, it isn't likely that support for higher versions of OpenGL in virtual machines running on macOS will be implemented in the foreseeable future.

 

Pixera requires OpenGL 4.5. please add support for this version when it becomes possible.

 

AutoCAD and Civil3D please!!

 

This could be a great opportunity to go way beyond what MacOS natively supports.
One path to achieve that would be for Parallels to implement drivers for Vulkan (possibly achieved as a thin wrapper around MoltenVK).. which may then provide a path to using Zink to achieve OpenGL 4.6 support.

Can I do something about it?

 

Hi @CyrillZ, Vulkan API is not supported by our graphics driver. Have you tried running the program with the OpenGL 3 driver as the message suggests?

 

please add for giants editor (OpenGL 4.5)
