Warplan Deploy Issue on Virtual PC

Post by b08pm88 »

I have been enjoying Warplan for some time. I recently updated my virtual Windows version to 11, running under Parallels as a VM manager. I also updated to DirectX 12. Since then, I have not been able to deploy any land, air, or sea units. No hexes show up as potential deploy locations. I can still purchase units, and support purchases get applied accordingly. Support suggested I start here to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Any help is appreciated!

This is an issue dealing with Mac that I have never seen. Sadly I don't know anything about Macs.

Do the other toggles work?

You can try right click the .exe file for WarPlan > Properties > Compatibility > Run this program for compatibility mode.....

This is a little embarrassing but the issue boiled down to a Stupid User Error (SUE). I setup a new W11 VM and reinstalled the game. When playing the new install i realized my mistake. All is back to normal and there are no issues playing in a Parallels Windows VM on Mac. Thank you for your help!
