macOS Sierra - graphics problems

[ManuelF3]

After a bit of a struggle, I was able to create a Sierra (10.12.6) VM on my MacBookPro running High Sierra.

The graphics for at least Chrome and Spotify are not working correctly. I get either strangely rendered pages (Chrome) or black areas (Spotify) making both applications unusable. I tried increasing the video RAM to 512MB and still no go.
I have a MacBook Pro Early 2011 with High Sierra 10.13.1 and Parallels Version 13.2.0 (43213).

Can anyone help?

Hi @ManuelF3 , please try installing Parallels Tools by checking this article and check if that helps.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling according to the link you sent and I still get the same symptoms.
Any other suggestions?

 

[ManuelF3]

Any recommendations? BTW, I tried setting up a VM in VMware Fusions and it seems to work fine.

Please provide an update.

I worked with support and this issue has no solution.
Closing investigation.

Hello @ManuelF3 We would request you to refer to this article http://kb.parallels.com/120876 and check if it helps. Applies for the latest version of Parallels Desktop.

I tried that though a previous email. Parallels technical support had a live interactive session with me and took control of my Mac to try some things. It was concluded that this issue cannot be fixed.

I have iMac Pro (10.13.4), and I install High Sierra on Parallels 13.3.0 (43321)

I have the same rendering issues with Chrome and Spotify.

I am having the same issues with Chrome and Opera. You would think someone from Parallels would be interested in at least figuring our what the issue is.

I have the same symptom, installed a Mac OS X (Mojave) guest in parallels. But some elements of graphic, such as tabs on Safari, Terminal, Chrome are flickering and not updating. Traces of the mouse shows when hovering over. I tried: reinstalling Parallels tools, changing resolutions, different options for graphic memory, and all combinations of settings available in Parallels -> Settings -> Hardware -> Graphics. Also tried reinstalling Mac OS Mojave, and then various combinations of settings in Mac -> Settings -> Accessibility. The issue seems to be related to the graphic card.
