This is typically caused by not having the minimum required DirectX support in the GPU.

For NVIDIA GPUs, DirectX 10.0 support is required.

For AMD and GPUs from other vendors, DirectX 10.1 support is required.

How do I fix this I am using Parallels on Mac I have tried everything I can think of!

Hi,

if I went through the Parallels specifications correctly, it supports DirectX 10.0 and a min. of 10.1 is needed. Software like Parallels and Workstation are not yet very good for the latest games due to things like low Directx support. I have read about virtualization software that could be used for the more demanding games but I have forgotten the name. There should be a post about it here on the Answer HQ.

[edit] I found the name all of the sudden. Try Boot Camp instead of Parrellels.

With regards,
