DA:I DirectX Error Parallels for Mac
I've recently purchased DA:I, but I cannot play it due to an error that pops up when play is attempted (screenshot attached):
"DirectX device creation error
Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for playing this game.
Parallels Display Adapter (WDDM) GPU does not support DirectX 10.0 which is required."
I have DirectX 11.0 installed and I've checked for the latest updates.
I am running Parallels 7 for Mac on a machine with these specs:
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
I am aware that my graphics card sucks and it's not something that I have the money to change at the moment. I'm not interested in running the game well, I'm just interested in running it. (This card handled the last two DA games just fine, as well as Skyrim).
I've searched basically everywhere for an answer and it seems that other people with my specs have managed to start the game somehow. I don't know if the parallels setup is the problem, or if the graphics card on the Mac is the problem. I've tried running the game as administrator, reinstalling parallels tools, rebooting, etc.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! I've wanted to play this game very badly since its release.
