How to install DayZ on a Mac

To my fellow Mac gamers on TD, here are the steps to get DayZ working on a Mac. I got this directly from the DayZ forums
1. Install windows on your Mac using Bootcamp.
Full instructions on how to install windows using bootcamp here
2.You must download a catalyst for your integrated video card
Go to this LINK
Fill in the information about your BootCamped Mac under "Download Drivers"
Download & install the suggested catalyst for you
ex: Mac Graphics > Apple Bootcamp > MacBook Pro > Windows 7 - 64 bit
3. See if your Mac is capable of running it.
Go to this LINK
Select ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead
Click "Can You RUN it?"
Note: Ignore the video card information, because it doesn't register the catalyst on this site. As long as your Mac is OS X version 10.5 or greater you should have no problem. It will most likely tell you that you failed, when in reality you didn't
4. Buy Arma II: Combined Operations, which includes: Arma II and Arma II:Operation Arrowhead, BOTH are required to install DayZ. I recommend buying it with Steam cause its all digital.
5. Install DayZ. I recommend that you use DayZCommander.
6. Play DayZ
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Running parallels and gaming would seem to drop FPS correct?
Why no install of Windows 7 or 8?

Yeah thats why i recommend using Boot Camp.

Yeah, I hear Boot Camp is the way to go. Parallels results in massive quality reduction, as does other things like Wine wraps.
