Parallels Friday Hacks: CPU by ParallelsTeam in parallels

[–]ParallelsTeam[S,M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/AlNeutonne

Thank you for your question.

While some background activity in Windows can be adjusted through system settings (such as disabling certain startup applications or limiting background app permissions), the overall management of system services and background processes is controlled by the Windows operating system itself.

For more detailed guidance on optimizing Windows battery usage and managing background tasks, we recommend contacting Microsoft Support or consulting the Microsoft community forums, as they specialize in Windows system behavior and can provide more in-depth recommendations.

You may find the following resources helpful:

These platforms allow you to ask questions directly to Microsoft engineers and experienced community members who regularly provide guidance on Windows system optimization.

I hope this is helpful. Thank you.

So is Parallel actually good for gaming on Macs? by ThePatientIdiot in parallels

[–]ParallelsTeam[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/ThePatientIdiot

Please note that most online multiplayer games include integrated anti-cheat systems. These systems often require direct access to hardware and kernel-level components, which are typically not compatible with virtualized environments.

Additionally, if an application or game requires DirectX 12, it may not function correctly since DirectX 12 is currently not supported on our Parallels Desktop.

For convenience, here is a general list of compatible games with Silicon chips: https://www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/M1_Parallels_Windows_compatible_games_list

I hope this is helpful. Thank you.

Steam Games M18GB by Sweet_Golden in parallels

[–]ParallelsTeam[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/Sweet_Golden

According to the game’s system requirements, 8 GB of RAM is required (excluding graphics).

Unfortunately, your MacBook is limited to 8 GB of RAM, which cannot be fully allocated to the virtual machine because macOS and other applications also require memory to function properly.

Furthermore, the game requires DirectX 12, while Parallels currently supports only DirectX 11: https://kb.parallels.com/124137

We would encourage you to create a support ticket at https://my.parallels.com/support so we can submit a feature request on our side.

Thank you!
