| 💻 M1: MacBook Pro 13" 16GB | yes | Parallels | 1920x1080 | Installed DirectX 10 June 2010 full Runtime installer. The DX Web Setup thing will not work, it will just claim DirectX is already installed and is fine. Run Skyrim... and crashes on launch. Turns out this can be solved by setting the game settings to medium and AA off. Turning settings to High causes the crash again, so obviously it's some setting - possibly shadows - causing the issue, but I haven't done the troubleshooting to determine the exact cause yet. You may need to enable Windowed Mode Borderless if full screen crashes for you, as well. Also, you need to add bBackgroundMouse=1 to Skyrim.ini and/or SkyrimPrefs.ini in the [Controls] section to avoid weird mouse slowness issues. | Runs smoothly, unable to confirm FPS due to FPS counter not working in Steam, | Steam |
