How to play Dofus Retro on Mac

Game summary
Dofus Retro is a new server option for Dofus released in 2019. The goal of Retro is to let players experience Dofus as close as possible to what it was before the graphical overhaul that came with 2.0.
Certain players have a very special affection for Version 1.29 of the game DOFUS. That's why there are new servers allowing them to rediscover the game as it was almost ten years ago.
Two 1.29 servers - Eratz and Henual - have always persisted. Historically, Ankama kept them so they wouldn't be unfairly disadvantaging their Latin American players, whose computers may not necessarily have been able to keep up with the performances required to enjoy DOFUS 2.0 to the fullest. Now, all of their players can enjoy it simply by subscribing.

Play Dofus Retro on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dofus Retro on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Dofus Retro installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Dofus Retro like you would on any PC.
