Overwatch texture glitches

[TomT1]

Does anyone have suggestions on getting overwatch to run? It actually runs at 60fps as well but just has these weird glitches sometimes: http://i.imgur.com/3Xyt7EF.jpg

Guess there's nothing that can be done but thought I'd ask.

Hi TomT1, Configure Parallels Desktop for games by referring to this article.

Yes I did all that, all settings for best performance, the VM has 8GB ram and 2GB graphics memory (also tried 1GB), set to DX10.
Still always get these issues, I guess just some error in the dx/opengl translation?

Hi, could you please check if your Virtual Machine meets the requirements for Overwatch.
Also let us know the Direct X and Open GL version required for this game.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I've been trying to avoid having to figure out how to reconfigure my setup to support boot camp as I'd rather continue to run windows in the VM. I'm running on a 27" iMac with 8 cores, 8GB and 2GB of VRAM allocated. iMac specs 27" 3.5GHz Core i7 (Haswell), 16GB DDR3 and a GeForce GTX 775M w/ 2GB VRAM.

yeah I think overwatch is DX11 only and parallels only supports DX10 fully currently so I think that's the reason, so I doubt there's anything that can be done right now apart from real windows...

Ah, that would explain the graphical glitches. I caved and installed via bootcamp but since most games I play actually do run just fine in Parallels I really hope they update to support DX11 soon (though that may be a while if it depends on Apple updating OpenGL).
