Game crash when run on Parallels

[I Lose To Win]

Hi everyone, since I only have Mac, I'm using Windows 7 Pro on Parallels to play FFX. However, it always CRASH at the intro no matter what settings I set.

Spec:
- Parallels for Mac, Version 11.2.0 (32581)
- Virtual machine:
Windows 7 Pro
CPU processors: 4
RAM: 8GB
Graphics: 512MB

I really appreciate if anyone have experience in this. Thanks in advance for any help.

Me too man. Did you find any solution?

I Think Its Cause Your Using A Virtual Machine And Not The Right Windows. Apple's Hardware Is Extremely Uncampatible With Almost All Applications. I Would Recommend Using Actual Windows. For Your Mac/Apple Computer May Have Compatibility Issues.

In my bootcamp partition (an actual windows pc) the game works, but when I use if with Parallels if doesn't

This is because when you run the game from a VM, it does not have access to your GPU. The game cannot be run in software mode, it needs hardware D3D11. So you're plum out of luck. Parallels might be good for stuff like spreadsheet software, but not gaming.

Thank you guys. I'll try it on the Bootcamp partition and let you all know the result.

i have macbook air 2013 13inch, 4gb, 250ssd, inlel hd5000, i5
i play on bootcamp win7, and it works great! not on ultra settings but on medium it runs well!
use parallels only for work applications or some indie games. it doest use all the power of your GPU, it uses something like emulated GPU. Bootcamp uses all your mac resources like ordinary win pc.
