@Excl Is there any report of Ascension working with either bootcamp or wine when emulating from ARM ? If so, is there any instructions ?

Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
Greetings, i've switched to MAC and for some reason, most game and windows native apps work on Parallel (Windows emulation), but not your client. It seems like a "processor architecture check issue", which should not prevent M1 users to enjoy Ascension servers. Here's a take from a MAC user:
"x86 and x64 are Intel architectures. Windows on ARM can emulate both x86 and x64 software (not drivers, though), but it looks like the program you are trying to install is checking the architecture before you can even install it. If the software requires the installation of drivers, it would make sense to prevent the installation. Otherwise I can't think of a good reason to prevent the installation and the developers of the software should just remove that architecture check."
You guys should be able to provide an installation without this architecture check, it would allow us to enjoy your fun projects.

RE: Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
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.

RE: Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
@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.

RE: Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
@Excl I will try the following guidelines, but just to be clear, does the .dll file is ascensionextension.dll OR ascensionextensionS.dll ?
It might change something if it's a targeted file

RE: Playing on Parallels (M1 pro MAC) emulation
Am I missing something? If the Ascension.exe has a target directory, maybe i need a specific name for it.
What about your "Fonts" folder?
Does the DLL gives instructions like
If addon=enabled
Load C://ProgramFiles/Ascension Launcher/Resources/Ascension/X.dll or X.font
