Hey there, so I am unable to "initialize graphics driver" to play this on my Mac Air M2 through parallels, but when I had the M1 Mac Air it would at least take me to the fiery loading screen where you get to chose a character. This time, with an even better and much more capable computer, the M2 somehow cannot muster up the graphical ability to play this old game? I detect a scam from Blizzard... I know that there's a way to mess with the compatibility settings, but when I talked to support, which I think is run by crackheads now, they completely disregarded the basic logic and reason of the message and said weird sheet like "you might be talking about warcraft reforged... here's the link to get a refund" never brought up the game, never asked for a refund. Stupid, stupid stupid blizzard people. So, I'm not a windows guy, obviously, so all you Windows people, how do I get the game to work through parallels on my M2? I KNOW for a fact that it's possible. I can play World of Warcraft on the highest possible setting and my computer won't even get hot. Blizz seems to be anti Mac now as they are being bought out by Microsoft and waiting for a deal to close, so of course the support won't help me. Lastly, I tried posting in the main discussion, but it won't let me saying I need to own the game. Well, I tried using my main account but for SOME odd reason I'm banned until the year 2999. It's kind of strange to not be allowed to voice concerns or get help from people because of a fascist run company and their idea of selling customers games that don't work and then not providing support to them.The system requirements are right there for all to see.
You might want to turn your finger to point at Apple as far as why Blizzard didn’t port the game over to Apples ARM computing platform. Apple is the one that has built the hurdles that has stagnated software developers bringing their games and applications to their computing platform. There’s also Windows users vs Apple users demographics to consider.
Apples move to their in-house ARM chips marked the end of the golden x86 days. They are walking back into the same software desert they came from when they were still on their PowerPC chips, and the hurdles they throw up for software developers is the reason it’s happening.
If you want to play games, save yourself the frustration and get a dedicated Windows gaming system.
