Please update the Parallels graphics driver to support Blender’s minimum OpenGL 4.3/Vulkan 1.3 requirements.

Blender 5.2 ARM64 fails to launch in Windows 11 ARM on Parallels Desktop 27.0.2, running on an M4 MacBook Pro. The Parallels Display Adapter lacks the OpenGL extensions <span>GL_ARB_shader_draw_parameters</span> and <span>GL_ARB_clip_control</span>. Its Vulkan implementation also lacks required features, including multi-viewport, logical operations, dual-source blending, buffer device address, and <span>VK_EXT_provoking_vertex</span>. Please update the Parallels graphics driver to support Blender’s minimum OpenGL 4.3/Vulkan 1.3 requirements.
 
The VulkanSDK now includes a fully conformant Vulkan 1.4 driver for macOS (26,27) / Apple Silicon called KosmicKrisp so there is little excuse for Parallels to continue not supporting Vulkan.
