I can't get it to download on my 2018 macbook pro. I have tried with both parallels and boot camp and neither one will allow it to download. Any advice?
What spec is your MacBook Pro, Boot Camp can be very slow at times, Parallels is a much better option and the way to go, the current version is 17.

In your post you say Parallels will not allow you to download? What is the particular issue.

Update: I played around with my system a little bit more yesterday. I tweaked Windows a little bit, turned off a lot of the system graphic effects, the stuff we used to do, when we were 16 and wanted to not buy new hardware... But easy stuff, no digging around in the registry etc.

I managed to get it up to 50-60 FPS in Slovenia 2, with the stutters greatly reduced.

So I guess, you can run Condor 2 under macOS Catalina with Parallels 15.
Could you share what needs to be modifed on Windows 11 side to get higher FPS? I am using the laptop screen itself, no external monitors.
I only get FPS 10-13 for most scenaries and this is playable, other scenaries 2 or 3 and this is not playable.

I would recommend to use Parallels 17 Pro, using Windows 11.

Will there be any support for Apple Silicon macs - it's been a while now since they switched from Intel chips.

Hello, I just installed condor on my mac with https://www.parallels.com, it works like a charm.
No need to have a bootcamp
If somebody can try and confirm that works for community.
Thanks
A user confirmed that Condor works well on a Mac using Parallels, without needing Bootcamp, and suggests others try and confirm for the community.
I look at the world through rose-colored glasses :twisted:

For what it's worth, I run Condor on an M1 MacBook Pro via Parallels Desktop / Windows 11. I also use some open source head tracking software with it which uses the MacBook's camera - AI Track and Open Track (VR makes be feel sick after a few minutes).
