Black Desert Online (BDO) is not officially supported on macOS, but there are ways to play it on a Mac using workarounds. Heres how you can try running it: Use Boot Camp (Best Performance) - Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on your Mac (Intel-based only; not supported on Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3). - Steps: 1. Download Windows 10/11 ISO from Microsoft. 2. Open Boot Camp Assistant (Applications Utilities). 3. Allocate at least 60GB for Windows. 4. Install Windows and boot into it. 5. Install BDO via the official website or Steam. - Pros: Best performance (native Windows). - Cons: Requires restarting to switch OS. Use a Virtual Machine (VM) - Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion can run Windows on macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon with ARM Windows). - Performance will be lower than Boot Camp. - Steps: 1. Install Parallels/VMware. 2. Set up a Windows 11 ARM VM (for M1/M2 Macs). 3. Install BDO (may require additional tweaks). - Pros: No need to reboot. - Cons: Lower performance, possible lag. Cloud Gaming (No Local Installation) - GeForce NOW (if BDO is supported in your region). - Shadow PC (rent a remote Windows PC). - Boosteroid (another cloud gaming option). - Pros: No need for a powerful Mac. - Cons: Requires a strong internet connection. Wine/Crossover (Limited Success) - Crossover (paid, based on Wine) can run some Windows games. - PlayOnMac (free alternative, less reliable). - Performance may be poor, and anti-cheat (Easy Anti-Cheat) may block access. Important Notes: - Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs cannot run BDO natively (no ARM version). - Boot Camp is Intel-only (no support for M-series Macs). - Performance on VMs/Wine may be unstable. Best Option? Intel Mac: Use Boot Camp for best performance. M1/M2 Mac: Try Parallels + Windows 11 ARM or GeForce NOW. Would you like help with a specific method?

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.
