    Games that require DirectX 12 most likely won't work (Alone in the Dark 2024 is an exception that I found in that it does work, a bit slowly however). Games that require OpenGL newer than version 4.1 also do not work.

    I try to check the requirements for Steam games prior to purchasing them. When I've bought one I can't make work Steam has been accommodating in giving me a refund.

    I have recently started using CrossOver to play DirectX 12 requiring games. I have found a few games that it runs perfectly (Talos Principle 2, Alone in the Dark 2024, etc.), but there are many that I would expect it to run that I can't manage to get to work. Even many listed as supported I can't get to run.

    Parallels would be nearly a perfect PC virtualizer if it supported DirectX12, but alas they have no timeline on when (if?) that will happen.

    I hope this thread is being monitored. To the Parallels support folks, I am in my trial period and I also got tired of Crossovers and other Wine skins. This seemed perfect but having some problems in Steam. An example: Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific, an older game. All that happens when I hit play is it looks like it tries to run, no error messages, but the game never comes up. The system requirements for the game are:

    Operating system Windows 10 (64-bit versions)
    Processor AMD Athlon @ 3 GHz, Intel Pentium 4 @ 3 GHz, or better
    RAM 2 GB
    Video card ATI Radeon X1800 (256 MB), NVIDIA GeForce 7800 (256 MB), or better
    Hard drive 6 GB available storage
    DirectX version DirectX 9c

    Thank you. Need help before I bite the bullet and pay (in my trial period.)
