So, me and my friend really love dayz and It seemed pretty awesome. I want to play with him but im on a macbook pro (please no comments on how crappy a mac is i've had my fair share). Around christmas time, I was running boot camp on my mac and I played arma 2 for around a few weeks, but as more work came I had to stop playing, eventually I was so uninterested taht I deleted boot camp. Now, I lost my windows, so, to get another way of running windows on a mac, I got a program called VirtualBox (Its owned by Oracle, people who own Java, its trustworthy). Im running windows 7 on it and I downloaded arma 2, and operation arrowhead, and the dayz mod. So, im really pumped to play again, I'm in that zone where you cant wait to play a game, then, my computer tells me to go screw myself. (It came up with the error: display adapter does not support format d24s8 for x8r8g8b8) So i surfed the internet for a solid 5 hours, and I literally went nowhere. I tried making my graphics settings on full in the control panel, and I tried updating my drivers, but here is the problem. I have the nvidia 320m graphics card, which has no way to update the drivers, so, I don't know what to do. Im sure you all know how it feels to want to play dayz so please take the time to help me out. I would really appreciate it. I went to my computer hardware on windows and looked at the hardware and all it said was vga video adaptor, nothing about my graphics card? I've played Dayz on this computer before so don't tell me that it won't work with my computers specs lmao. But here they are: Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) It would be great if we can try teamviewer or something, here is my Skype: andrew.constantin

here is basically the same computer as mine.

After staying up until 4 AM I found out this was the right answer. Thank you Husky. Since virtual box is a virtual computer, it also made a virtual graphics card, the virtual graphics card is incapable of running any games even on max settings. I would like to thank you all for your help and Especially OfficerRaymond for his help, I will be buying a computer later this month. Hope to see you guys on some time, I havent played since over a year ago so this should be a great experience.

Thanks a lot, I will definently consider those setups and look more into it.

Ok thanks everyone for your responses but please respond as if my computer could run it if you don't believe i can.

Ok thanks, I really hope someone helps because I really love this game. I always had work and could never play and now I finally have the time and this happens, its not fun. I removed the money thing and I should be able to buy a new computer in the new few weeks but please people still help lmao I can't wait those few weeks.

Should i reinstall the drivers on my macbook pro or windows? When im on windows it doesnt even show up .

Ok thanks for the feedback, but i did that to give people motivation because all the other threads I read, it was mostly small responses that weren't very helpful. But I appreciate your response and time. Cool clan.

will do, thanks

Please read the post, I could run it at around 30-40 fps somehow.

This is the error I get whenever I try to enter any server: There was an error launching Arma2 with DayZ. Please check your setting, verify your game directories and try again. Details: The system can not find the files specified. Please someone help me I'm new to this stuff and I am really excited to play this game. I have ran Arma II, and Arma II Operation Arrowhead several times, and it still doesnt work, and Arma II Combined Operations. I also just tried joing a server with just using Arma II Combined Operations, and it told me something about my BattlEye not working or something.
