This requires many people to look for alternative ways to use them. However, many professional, creativity, and development apps don’t have native versions for macOS.
I haven't played GI in a couple of weeks (around the time I posted this information here).Even if you are not a digital expert or a tech-savvy person, you would know that you cannot run a Microsoft Windows application on Mac devices. Or they could do it to flummox people who want to play in a VM in Windows for other purposes, and the Mac gamers would be collateral damage. That being said, if the Genshin Impact developers think of us Parallels gamers as evildoers, they might escalate their VM detection and then eventually it won't work anymore in Parallels. I did not find that it was necessary to do any XML thing. Thanks for your link on "XML template", I also found similar things, but those people are either playing in Linux, or in Windows, and I think they are not using Parallels. Could it be that we're on different versions of Parallels?ĭid you go full-screen, low resolution? For good measure, did you reboot your Windows image completely? (I don't think you can change those options if you don't reboot the image completely, so I'm sure you did, but just in case.) I've looked at your screenshot, and I notice that your options are not the same as my options. I'm so sorry for all your troubles! Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I can help much. Paste the following text in the "Boot flags" field: Go to the virtual machine configuration and click "Hardware > Boot Order > Advanced Settings > Boot flags". Late edit: A user in the comments had trouble getting it to work, but was able to eventually get it to work by disabling their eGPU, using fullscreen, doing a very low resolution (something like 1100圆00), and allocating 16GB of RAM and 2GB of graphics VRAM to Parallels.Įdit for posterity: someone sent me a suggestion for fixing the graphical flicker issue, unfortunately I cannot find their message in my inbox. Flowers, bushes, walls and entire floors blink in and out of existence. Now I won't lie, this only exposes Parallels' lousy 3d drivers. Second, you probably want to hide your hypervisor in your emulator. If you're a Linux gamer who accidentally wandered into this subreddit, first of all, God bless. Now, go to ||->Control Center, click on the gear icon, Hardware, Cpu & Memory, and Enable nested virtualization. I vaguely thought of asking for help in /r/Genshin_Impact, but then the entire population of Reddit asked condescendingly why I was trying to game on a Mac.įortunately for us all, I was able to figure out something.Īs of this writing, you can get around this GI discrimination against us as follows.
