Graphics issue - no water.....

[Shecky]

Just installed the game and on the Home page and the Sea battle Tutorial, the ships are seemingly floating in space. Is there a graphics setting I am missing?

Please check that c++ 2017 redist is installed.

When I try to run the tutorial the ships appear to be in a dense fog bank with rapidly moving vertical bright rectangles and circular bright spots in the foreground. I installed the c++ 2017 redist with no apparent effect.

Greetings, have you tried other games to check if there are similar issues?

Also, have you sent a game report via F11 button?

Hearts of Iron IV runs without any apparent issues in Windows (I am running Windows 10 via Parallels on my MacBook Pro 16 inch with 8 i9 cores - 4 dedicated to Windows - and 64 GB RAM - 32 GB dedicated to Windows - and I have the upgraded graphics option). The F11 report was the first thing I tried though I couldn't include a screen shot with that.

Thank you for looking into this.

This game is not supported on Mac OS which could be causing a problem even if you are running Windows. Although I am not a Mac user, my guess that it would be a potential issue from using a VM (I believe that's what running in parallel means) rather than dual booting.

[Velologist]

Every other program I've tried to use in Windows with Parallels has worked including Hearts of Iron IV.

Hearts of Iron is a poor example because it has native support for Mac OS where AOS does not. My idea is that that because you are using a VM, it is screwing with the game because of the lack of support.

I have the same problem... will there be a solution for poor Mac VM user?

Please... 🙂

Greetings Admiral, unfortunately there is no solution at this moment, the game does not support Mac Os and we cannot guarantee the game will properly work through Parallels or a similar software.

if you open dxdiag file (Or Device Manager > Display Adapters), can you confirm you are on the latest graphic card drivers? I assume you don't have dual graphics card?

I can now play the game on my Mac via Parallels as long as I'm willing to go through multiple restarts to get a mission going. Once a battle has started, I generally (or is that admirally) have no problems. Transitions between battles often result in the need to play the restart lottery over and over again. I love this game and would buy Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts in a second if I was confident the same thing wouldn't happen. Has there been any progress with this? Thank you.

Admiral, regarding UA: Dreadnoughts you can ask other players if they managed to play via Parallels in the appropriate forum: https://forum.game-labs.net/forum/94-general-discussions/
