Hello,

I'm trying to play the server of a friend (legend of mir 3 , zircon) - but I'm getting a white screen (see added picture)

I run a windows 11 virtual through parallels on a macbook pro with a M2 chip.

Iit doesn't matter if it is fullscreen or windows, and am able to play other mirs, like Taral/phoenix.

I tried to install all the 'extra's' required, like slimdx , framework etc. but most installers tell me my version is newer and quit.

Maybe someone knows something to try. Scherm­afbeelding 2025-05-09 om 20.27.42.png

Many years ago, I remember that Parallels had some setting you needed to enable (checkmark) to have OpenGL (or what was it called) to work.

Thank you for your reply!

Alas there is no option for windows anymore. Somehow I think it has something to do that the client of this zircon mir3 has 'slimdx'. (as far as I could find there is no specific version of that to install on windows 11.)

Taral/phoenix doesn't have this and it runs very smoothly. I've been playing around with settings in both parallels and windows, but no such luck yet hihi

Pretty sure taral uses slimdx just the same as the main source, zircon has never used anything else.

The issue looks like your lighting is just solid white. But no sure what setting taral has for why it would be different.
