In order to avoid the compatibility issues like crashing, freezing, lagging and slow performance, we suggest you to keep your graphics drivers up-to-date.

If there is a graphics driver update, it will be included in the macOS update.

What do I need to do with my settings andor driver updates to be able to run video games within the VM Ive installed Parallels tools.

Video Driver From Within

Ive tried to download and install the GeForce Driver from within windows.

Ive looked all throughout my displayvideo settings in the configuration editor of parallels.

I cant seem to modify the settings within the RAM or display settings tabs.

The only way you may increase perfomance: Configure - Video - increase Ram and enable 3D acceleration.

Please check the list of supported games and applications by Parallels Desktop.

The particular game Im trying to get going at this point is DemiGod from Gas Powered Games.

Its really the only reason I bought Parallels, so if I need to switch to using boot camp to make this work, please let me know.

I have recently upgraded my parallels to 4.0 and I am attempting to play Final Fantasy XI in parallels.

I noticed that this game is not confirmed as being tested on the list of compatible 3d games for parallels.however it seems that other players have been able to play this game on a mac using parallels 3.0 and above) After many hours of troubleshooting to get the 3d stuff to work.i now am getting a message saying: Failed to Recognize Hardware TnL.

I have already: 1.) made sure the enable 3d acceleration box was checked in my video settings for parallels 2.) tried to increase the Ram and Video Memory in the video configuration of parallels.

HOW to get over this step.

While others have had this error message come to them they seem to all be coming from people that were using an earlier version of parallels.

The parallels video driver does not contain the information necessary to accurately display the games on your screen.

Unless Parallels were to patch their driver or include additional compatibility in a future upgrade, theres no solution.

I recommend installing Windows direct to Boot Camp and booting directly to Windows when its time for some gaming.

Keep in mind you need your MacOSX install disc to dump the necessary drivers into Windows once its installed.

Pretty easy. So heres what you need to do.

Leopard. 2. From within the Boot Camp assistant, partition your hard drive with at least 20 gig.

Install Windows from within the Boot Camp assistant.

Video .Exe From Your

From Windows, run setup.exe from your Mac OSX disc.

Install your games.
