I just found that if I use the HDR calibration and tick the bypass sRGB Gamma then it work.

I mean now it's a lot better but I prefer without HDR because my screen is too white or bright but I guess I can find the right balance in SpecialK with the slider.

Maybe my solution will help the other person that had problem in parallels :)

Well you don't need the bypass sRGB because you can adjust the HDR brightness and it will work fine.

Anyways that's the maximum knowledge that I can provide :mrgreen:

Good news : 1.0.2.2 corrected the darkness in Special-K without to activate the HDR in SpecialK

It's mean that it will maybe correct OP problem with parallel :mrgreen:

Code: Select all

Dev note:

RENDERING
- IMPORTANT CHANGE: Changed default back buffer format to use Standard Range rendering. This may help some who are experiencing black screens at startup, but it will also reduce the quality of some visuals. If you were not previously having problems with black screens or crashes then you can revert to High Dynamic Range rendering in the in-game Game Settings to restore the visuals to their previous quality.
I had to turn off the lens flare in setting because it was too bright lol

Anyways I'll play this game without Special-K ;)

How did you get this to even run on Parallels with the M1 machine? I've been stuck with DW2 deciding that there is no Display Adapter Found even though the default adapter is the Parallels Display Adapter. Could it simply be that I purchased the game through steam?

I got it to run up to version 1.0.0.6. Ever since 1.0.0.8 the game does not see my adapter anymore. It is something the developer did in addressing the issues that prevents the game to see my display adapter. I will make a report soon. Thought of giving them time to address all the other issues before I make my appeal to have them take a look at this. If not, I will have to shelve it.

I just gave the 1.0.5.1 Beta a try on the M1 machine (why not?); It seems to be working! We'll see how far I actually get!
