Question before buying - m1 + parallels

Post by coachi »

I will be using a new m1 apple with parallels. I read someplace in here this configuration there was a problem that the game was so dark it was unplayable. Has this been fixed? Is there a work around

Is there a specific work or content creation reason you are buying it? Thats a very niche machine built more for people who have lots of mac programs they need to run but also want to run windows stuff on the same machine. It's not really meant to be a gaming machine.

But here is the official parallels page on it.

Ah, I read it as you were going to buy the m1 and were curious how it worked with dw2 not that you already owned it.
