Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
-
@Excl So i've been downloading .net apps, framework and visual studio c++... Can't figure it out... Wow says I got Ascensionresources, ascensionui and aio_client running..
-
@Excl Actually, I think it has something to do with D3D9.dll, or the API. Another private server suggest to change Wow API to OpenGL, but in Ascension, it makes the game unplayable.
As for the Launcher, i've finally been able to run it with ARM64 w11. So now i get the updates, but the frames still bug.

How did you make the launcher work? I’m still struggling with the error prompt “not a 32/64-bit system”
Edit:
For those wondering how to get the launcher to work.
Install the launcher + game on a Windows 10-11 x64 and copy the whole folder to the Win11 ARM running through Parallels.Launcher works, but after the last update I get an Ascension/WowError:
HelloKitty rocks hehe. No build
Cat Error: 11
-
Bypassed the error 11 by using an earlier version of ascensionextension.dll

@Wonkru Hi im having trouble getting this to run on parallels... Any help is appreciated. I installed the manual install and unzipped it but ive got no clue what else to do lol. Thanks
-
@Greven I've also managed to do the same and bypass the error but the character builder is not working. With the latest updates it crashes with the error 11.

You guys can run the launcher using compatibility tab in EXE parameters. I can't remember how i managed to make it work, but i never experienced error 11.
I should add that I never been able to play on the server since the UI is a mess, can't display the quest properly and the talents. Lua errors seems to be related to API and i couldn't figure it out inside the Parallels trial.
I'd like to help you guys, but i was going to pay for parallels only if i'd be able to play Ascension on M1, which was impossible without accessing talents.
-
@Wonkru No worries, i didnt feel like paying for parallels either lmao. Do you think theres a chance with wine/ crossover? i sent a ticket to crossover seeing if they know how.
-
@Jfishin Oh it will be wine ready some day, sometime in the future. But as long as there is no kernel on Linux that can even run on a M1, to a decent degree there is literally no shot at this.
But rest assured, it works fine on a truckload of ARM based devices, the ones that are not "dipped in secret sauce, blessed by a unicorn" or whatever nonsense Apple claims on their hardware. One fine day they might actually not insult their customers, with actual support for the overpriced hardware they deliver and the software they steal from the FOSS community.
Some day... Probably...

So I've been trying my luck with the M1 again. Stumbled upon a new problem.
Here's whats works and how to get there.
Requirements:
Crossover
Parallels running Windows 11 ARMStep 1. download a trial of Crossover v. 22
-
Setup a bottle running Win7 x86
-
Install .net 4.8
-
Install the ascension-setup.exe launcher (tested with .94)
-
Once the installation is done, save the path to your installed Ascension Launcher as we need it in step 2t
It looks something like this.../CrossOver/Bottles/BottleName/drive_c/Program Files/Ascension Launcher
Step 2
-
Get your Parallels and Windows 11 ARM up and running
-
Copy the the Ascension Launcher folder from your macOS to Win11ARM
-
Run the launcher and download the game
-
Hit play and you'll end up at the loginscreen \o/
Now, here's the issue when I type in my username and password, it goes through the authentication process, when I get to success the authentication box disappears and it should give me the realm selection or character screen. But it keeps looping back to the loginscreen , I can then click connect and the auth. starts over, so on and so forth.
Firewall is disabled
Antivirus is disabled
I've tried running the game directly from Crossover got to select realm, but then the client crashes due to some other issues.Any ideas?
Oh and BTW, step one has to be done everytime there's an update for the launcher, as the .exe can't be run on Win11ARM.

Hi, tried installing ascension on PC and then copying it to mac and it seems the game wont pick up the custom dlls? Any ideas how to nudge it in the right direction?

Hi, I tried on M1 Pro 14, tried in parallel 18 and 19.
and I'm getting
How you managed to fix that issue/ How should I set the parallel?
