Running in Parallels Green Textures

[Allalongthetower]

Hi all! I'm running TDM in Parallels Desktop. When I start the mission (I tried the training mission and the first one), most of the textures are green or red. Please see attached image. Has anyone ever had issues with this before? Thanks!

What TDM version?

What graphic device are you using or emulating?

One person has managed to run TDM in Parallels on M1:

He ran 2.10 and he had to switch to old backend (r_useNewBackend 0).
Same should help in 2.11

However, old backend no longer exists on the future 2.12 branch.
Only one backend remains, which is a mix of the two. Let's hope it works in this scenario.

Can confirm in 2.11, changing the (r_useNewBackend 1) in the Dark Mod CFG File to 0 still fixes the issue.

This helped!!! Thank you so much!

Nice to know!

But using paralells, you got always that virtualization part that slows down the game.

I want to know if the current TDM runs on the new mac os using wine. Using wine-managers/containers apps like whiskey, portingkit or proton from steam.

Virtualization part is required here.

TDM executables are x86 binaries, while people have ARM processor.
I'm pretty sure all the lightweight tools you know require can only run the binaries built for the same architecture.
