Yes - It is very possible to play the game on your Mac

Let me rephrase myself:

Smallest MacBook Pro (13"), Mac Minis and older apples (before 09´) will have some difficulties.

Im less than 1 week old in the DayZ / Arma II community and basically all around it.

My friend told me about DayZ on monday. I started looking around for other Mac players to see if the mac could handle it. And people in this forum told each an everyone: "You will have a problem playing it on mac", "The only way to play DayZ on a mac: Buy a PC" etcetc..

Well, the game was just to amazing (after alot of youtubing), so I gave it a go.

Bootcamped my MacBook Pro 15" (late 2011)

Installed Windows 7

Installed all the Drivers (from BootCamp and Graphic card)

Downloaded Steam

Downloaded Arma II and Arma II: OA

Downloaded Day Z

Result: Works perfect! I have great graphics and no lagging at all.

Heres even a picture for you:

Oh, and I also uploaded a poor video on youtube:

So yes, dont give up on trying out the game just because there are alot of Windows Fanboys in this forum.

Thank you very much and happy gaming.

PS: Thank you google :)

Don't give up, but it would be a lot easier just owning a PC/.

And I couldnt agree more. Ofcourse thats the easiest way. But for many people, this is the way to do it :-)

If "pc" stands for personal computer than isn't a Mac a personal computer. I believe Mac vs Windows would make more sense for an argument, especially since many of the internal components that make up windows and Mac based computers are the same. "Russian components, american components, hmm ALL MADE IN TAIWON!!"

Good post though thanks for clearing that up with actual "I played the game this way knowledge." good show my man.
