Playing Hota on a Macbook Air M1 via Parallels.

So, I decided to play the timeless classic, Heroes 3, on my Macbook Air M1 using Parallels. I installed Parallels. I downloaded an ARM-based Windows 11 image. I was thrilled with how smoothly the virtual machine ran and how seamlessly I could switch between macOS and Windows; the M1 is a beast 😮. I'm installing HotA. I go into the Lobby. The game starts, and there's my beloved Jebus 🤩. I start a game as Solmyr, and the tavern in Alamar looks fantastic! Everything was going so well until I got to a battle, and all the units, regardless of their strength, were dealing minimal damage to each other – just 1 😢. I tried both Windows 10 and Windows 11, and I have a video showing the damage being only 1: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...k5?usp=sharing Maybe someone knows if there are any Windows settings that can be tweaked through Parallels to fix this bug? I also wrote to ru_support@support.parallels.com. I was already thinking about getting rid of my old Windows laptop, but I guess I won't be doing that just yet 😒
