I have same problem. Windows 7. Uninstalled reinstallled multiple times. Run as admin. Run from steamapps/common/dayz folder and nada. Steam gives unknown error message and dayz.exe in folder gives "unable locate running instance of steam" error message. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/170530-dayz-wont-load/
Hi, Bought game through Steam and I can't get it to load. I get error message from steam stating "failed to start game (unknown error)". When I try to execute the DayZ exe in the Steam folder I get an error message telling me "Unable to locate a running instance of steam". I have verified the content and manually installed DirectX from the DayZ folder. I have run as admin from steam and local folder but no joy. I have deleted it and redownloaded & installed it but no joy. I have attached the two error messages to this post. Can anyone help? Loved the mod and am gutted have paid £20 for a pretty error message!! Cheers
