Go here https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download/standard and download Speccy, once installed and running take a screenshot post is here (Crop it too!) and we can take a look. So far there shouldn't be a problem. That 8GB of RAM and Processor makes *hope* your GPU is up to standard. Is the PC new? First hand? Did you purchase it from someone else or from a big retailer?

emigrates 261 Posted July 23, 2014 http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages Try downloading and installing these. The GPU isn't that great but is well above the minimum required. I'm hoping it's just out-dated drivers, but install them, restart and come back if it's still not working.

emigrates 261 Posted July 23, 2014 <snip> my PC is custom built by a friend of my dad and i had it for about 1 year nowIt's a good rig, shouldn't be an issue playing DayZ. Let me know when you've downloaded those Drivers. I'm hoping it's just a matter of drivers being out of date, updated and we're good. It's imperative you restart after installing them.

The game will load full screen. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Could try downloading pre-set video settings to the right resolution and see if that works.

emigrates 261 Posted July 23, 2014 Try going here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rrqombm6aoiye0n/DayZ.cfg Download that file (Don't worry, it's basically a text file that tells DayZ what settings to play the game under).Once downloaded, go to C:\Users\NAME*\Documents\DayZ and find the original DayZ.cfg and move it elsewhere, such as your desktop and move the downloaded DayZ.cfg where the old was. *Replace NAME with your computers user.

dominykaskinderis 6 Posted July 23, 2014 dude, i dont even have that file???? in dayZ forlde i only got 1 file "NAME.dayZprofile" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emigrates 261 Posted July 23, 2014 dude, i dont even have that file???? in dayZ forlde i only got 1 file "NAME.dayZprofile" You should have 3 files and a folder, just put the config file into the folder and try running the game. The reason it's not showing the file maybe because the game has never run, but it's at least worth a try to see if we can get it running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
