    Hi all, to start we are having issue running rFactor2 and getting the game to load past the launcher screen, it just goes blank when clicking on a helmet... first of all the setup we are trying to run is below, I am assuming this is a graphics issue, I have updated all the drivers. I've reserched the use of Parrellels with games and it appears this is possible, although I know using a Mac in this way isn't ideal.

    I have attached a picture below of the settings within rFactor, the setting i've tried is the GPU.

    Any help would be appreciated, even if it's to say our setup will not work... thanks in advance.

    Computer setup:

    We are using a Mac which runs Parrellels 15:
    iMac - OS Catalina 10.15.4 - Retina 5k
    Processor - 4Ghz Quad Core Intel i7
    Memory 32GB
    Graphics: AMD Radeon R9 M395X 4GB

    Parellels is running using GAME MODE, 4 Processors, 16GB Memory, Memory 2GB

    Update:

    We can now play the game using 'DEV MODE,' this was done by opting in to Beta v1109... however we still cannot run the single player game, when we then try and load the video settings to alter settings it comes up with this error, when then doing this and placing the 'Config file' in the 64 folder, we get this error upon launch 'Failed to load advanced effect file'
