Apple Software&Systems?

[ArmyCorps]

I’m just asking, Will any ARMA Game be available for the Apple Systems like in 2012 or the Future? I had love my ARMA Games on the PC But i bought a Apple iMac 27” 2 Years ago. I Tried running BOOTCAMP didn’t work, So i hope Bohemia try to figure out a way to make the Upcoming ARMA 3 or any other arm’s available for any apple product.

doubtfully, especially since it's DX connected.

btw, its on your end bootcamp doesn't work, i have used it before with great success. A2 on a mac via bootcamp should run as well as it would run on a similar rig on PC...

the bootcamp + win7 route should be pretty straightforward, where did it go wrong?

Once were done setting up the language at the Windows 7 Start up then the screen goes black with this _ And reboots back to mac

Since there is zero difference between Mac hardware and PC hardware apart from additional $2000 for the shining apple logo why won't you just install Windows there?

That way you'll enjoy ArmA without the need to configure anything and praying that it works.

on your boot (the grey screen with the apple logo), hold alt to choose between OSes. Otherwise from OSX go to the bootcamp menu and choose to boot in windows (will reset and start up windows).

I'm in a similar situation, my preferred OS is linux. I also run macos and window 7. I'd be really really happy if I could run Arma on something other than Windows. Windows 7 may be a step up from xp, but that is not saying much. When I'm forced to use Windows 7 it feels like an archaic system and it's a resource hog as well (not something to boast about if you like to run simulation games).

You could keep an eye out on the wine project (winehq.org or codeweavers), which is also available on MacOS. It'll run operation flashpoint just fine, but the menu buttons don't work in the newer engines. It does render the 3d stuff, which makes it tantalizingly close to working.

I'm serious. Ditch that MacOS and install Windows7. I understand that they charge extra $2000 because it's a Mac but there's really zero difference in hardware.

Will solve all your problems with ArmA series in a sec

i have run Arma successfully for 2 years now on my Macbook Pro 17" once you get the boot camp figured you should be happy.

I think that you might not be appreciating why someone would buy a Mac in the first place it's not to have another Windows PC. Having a bootcamp install is about the option to run Windows, not about turning a Mac into a PC.
