    Hi all,

    Firstly, hope everyone and their loved ones are staying safe and healthy during this period! :D

    Well, not being able to head outside freely has brought me back to Royals haha. I use a Macbook Air (braces for and accepts boos) and have since gotten Windows 10 on Parallels in order to play Royals. While it is playable, I've experienced pretty terrible lag at times (which I doubt is server-wide) and my Mac battery being destroyed whenever I play. Both of these issues worsen when I multi-client.

    I'd like to ask if anyone would be kind enough to help me on optimising my Parallels settings to hopefully alleviate the issues above. I literally am just going to use Parallels for Royals and nothing else, so feel free to minimise my Windows 10 and/or Parallels capabilities as much as possible haha.

    Here are my current settings, followed by some screenshots which might give more context:

    - Resource usage shifted from No Limit to between Low and Medium
    - All Mac folders are shared to Windows (can I disable this?)
    - All Mac applications are shared to Windows, and vice versa (can I disable this?)
    - 2 processors (as recommended), with 2GB memory

    Do let me know if you require any more information and/or screenshots! I'm basically terrible with technology, so would appreciate any help at all, thank you all! :D
