Black Desert Online (BDO) is not officially supported on macOS, but there are ways to play it on a Mac. Here are your options: Use Boot Camp (Intel Macs Only) - If you have an Intel-based Mac, you can install Windows via Boot Camp and run BDO natively. - Steps: 1. Download Windows 10/11 ISO from Microsoft. 2. Use Boot Camp Assistant (included in macOS) to install Windows. 3. Install Black Desert Online from the official website or Steam. - Pros: Best performance, no emulation overhead. - Cons: Requires restarting to switch OS; not available on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 Macs). Use Parallels Desktop / VMware (M1/M2/M3 Macs) - For Apple Silicon Macs, you can run Windows 11 ARM via Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. - BDO may run, but performance will be weaker due to emulation. - Pros: No need to reboot. - Cons: Performance issues, possible lag in high-end gameplay. Cloud Gaming (GeForce NOW) - GeForce NOW supports Black Desert Online. - You can stream the game on your Mac without installing Windows. - Pros: No need for a powerful Mac. - Cons: Requires a stable internet connection and subscription. Crossover / Wine (Not Recommended) - Some users have tried running BDO via Crossover (Wine-based), but it often crashes or has performance issues. - Not reliable for smooth gameplay. Best Option? Intel Mac: Boot Camp (best performance). M1/M2/M3 Mac: GeForce NOW (if you have good internet) or Parallels (with lower settings). Would you like help setting up any of these methods?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
