Running Doom3 on Windows10 with Parallels on macOS... - an update...!!!

Resource

Well, from what I've learned, the game Doom 3 requires OpenGL graphics... and my iMac has macOS 10 High Sierra, that does not support OpenGL, and the Parallels, that allows (as a virtual machine) to run Windows 10 on macOS, supports OpenGL 4.1 only starting with Parallels version 19 (I have version 13)... also, Doom 3 requires a Patch 1.3 or 1.3.1 to run on Windows 7, 10, 10 Pro.... so, I've installed the game, and the Patch... and it failed to initialize OpenGL on my macOS... b/c my Windows 10 Pro has only Basic Parallels Graphics (through Parallels), that does not support OpenGL... just to prove the obvious, I used my other Dell laptop - i3 with Intel HD Graphics 6300... installed the Doom 3 there, downloaded the Patch 1.3.1, so it would run on Windows 10... and yay - it worked...!!! so one of the limitations to run Windows games on iMac (macOS) is OpenGL graphics supported by the hardware and software, b/c if the hardware is there but the software is not supporting it, then it is useless hardware... As for the Doom 3, I am enjoying it, now...!!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
