Hello Maria, did you find a solution for the problem? I encountered that myself. Doom 2016 looks vor AMD drivers on the virtual machine but can't find them. Parallels seems not to tell windows that it works with my eGPU. I use a Razor Core X with AMD card. Thanx, Jens

Thank a lot for the provided tech report. May I ask you to update your Parallels Desktop version to the latest build (15.1.3) and check the issue.

Great article on the Steam Deck queue system! It's encouraging to see measures being taken to combat scalpers and ensure that genuine customers get a fair shot at purchasing. This kind of approach is essential to maintaining consumer trust and satisfaction.

For those looking to enhance their gaming setup even further, consider upgrading your storage with a SATA 6GBPS SSD/1.6TB-RI-2.5Inch. This high-capacity SSD offers fast data transfer speeds and reliable performance, perfect for handling extensive game libraries and ensuring smooth gameplay.

Thanks for the insightful read!
