OSX Item description issues on parallels desktop

Hello all,

I am playing on a imac running mountain lion. Setup is more than enough to run all kinds of heavy duty programs, including 3d.

Because POE is only available on windows, I've chosen to use parallels desktop to run a virtual machine with windows xp. (in my experience, parallels is the best app to use for games)

I have POE set on a low resolution, no shadows, no AA, etc.


When I hover my mouse over an item or skill, the description pops up like expected. Though the black background that should be behind the text is not there. This makes the item/skill descriptions very hard to read most of the time.

Did anyone else experience this? If so; have you found a solution?


Kind regards,

SugoiNL

I'm having the same problem. I use XP SP3 on Parallels.

Not a solution to that particular problem, but a way to avoid it: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/48708
