Running PanzerCorps2 on a Mac via Parallels

Post by PWHERREN »

I'm looking to run PanzerCorps 2 on a Macintosh computer via the Parallels Windows simulator.

Is anyone else doing this?

If so, how is it working? Any problems? Any helpful tips?

Developers, do you know if this is possible?

There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.

Although I usually run Panzer Corps 2 on my Windows Computer, I have a MacBook Pro with M1 max chip and the game runs perfectly on it under Parallels.

TPOO:

That's good to know! How much RAM (Unified Memory) does your laptop have? 16 GBs?

TPOO: If I run PanzerCorps2 through Steam, will everything carry over automatically when I sign into my Steam account on my virtual Windows machine? Or will I need to copy game files over to the new Mac so that my most recent scenario & core units will show up correctly?

I have over kill memory on my Mac, 64GB RAM as it is for work. It should run fine with less as I do not think Parallels will use anything close to that to run the virtual environment.
You will have to move or copy saves and cores from where they were before over to the newly created folders in the Mac's Windows environment. I am not sure if it auto installs all the DLC's if you purchased on Steam. Since I only had Steam keys from purchasing on Slithering I had to re-install in the new environment and re-enter the steam keys for the DLC's I have purchased. Any mods that you are subscribed to should auto download when you run the game.
