Running Guildwars on iMac with Parallels 3.0

Hi, always been running guildwars on an iMac with bootcamp. That works well.
With Parallels 3.0 out that's got "limited" DirectX 8.1 support, I decided to try it out and got to a stage where guild wars does run but with only 5 fps (even at lowest graphics), obviously not playable...

Has anyone also tried Guildwars on Parallels 3.0? Anything you can tune?
Thx

I'm having the same problem. I'm running the new Parallels 3.0 on my MacBook Pro with DirectX 8.1 and can't so much as get through the login screen for GW. It seems that Guild Wars is one of the only games that's having a problem with the new version. I find it ridiculous it won't run 8.1. Hopefully they'll release an update, soon. I really don't want to have to partition my HD for Bootcamp. Ugh.

Help Arwen and I, please!

**Here's someone running GW on their Mac with Parallels 3.
I asked him how, we'll see if he answers.

you tried the DX8 command line parameter?

add -dx8 to the command line to force DX8 compatibility
