SDL 2019, Windows 10, Parallels 14

Has anyone else installed SDL 2019 SR1 under Windows 10 on a Parallels 14 VM? I have allocated 20 GB of my 40 GB RAM to the VM, which should be more than sufficient. However, I am still experiencing significant speed issues under SDL 2019, which includes frequent crashes. I can only assume that Parallels 14 is causing the problem somewhere, but I have yet to find a solution. I found an earlier entry about "Shared Folders" as a possible issue.

Any thoughts?

  • I have been running parallels 14 on High Sierra for a while. At the beginning I had major speed issues and weird idiosyncrasies, like autocorrect of EUR into Eur, even though I had deactivated autocorrect in Windows and checked all the options in Studio to stop this happening. It still happened anyway. I managed to get around most of the speed problems by deinstalling parallels toolbox, which IIRC was designed to harmonise mac and windows usage. It was a real PITA.
    Yesterday I updated my MacOS to Mojave and now having EXTREME speed issues. I have a video where it takes the page 42 seconds to scroll down 10 lines. Basically I can't work with Studio anymore. I checked to see that Parallels toolbox had not been automatically reinstalled but its not there or is now hidden.
    Something is badly wrong somewhere. I'm very close to ditching my Mac and just using a dedicated windows machine for Studio work. I really can't afford the time to go hunting for a fix.
