Try this dude. I had the same problem. Took me two weeks to fix it. 1.) Verify game cache 2.) Restart steam 3.) Run game(DayZ.exe) as admin ---> C://Program files/Steam/SteamApps/Common/DayZ If it doesn't work then update your graphics card driver. 1.) Right click my computer 2.) Click properties 3.) Device Manager 4.) Display Adapters 5.) Right click graphics card driver then update. Worked for me. Hopefully it would work for you Sincerely, Staph24

DUDE IT WORKED! hahaha I figured out how to update my AMD graphics card when you told me how to disable my onboard graphics card! My beans are yours brother. :D Thanks alot! :D -Happy Survivor :D

How can I disable the onboard card? My dad is a programmer and I actually asked him the same question but he said that If I'm playing a game and the onboard card(intel) cannot handle the graphics it automatically switches to my AMD radeon graphic card.

I dont use Msi afterburner. :-\ sigh.. I really want to play. Does it work for you know? Appreciate the optimism :) haha Hopefully I can play soon bro :)

It's all good bro. It just feels as if I wasted $30 on this game. Which is a shame cause I really like this game :(

Re-installed steam and the game 4 times now. Didn't work. :(

I need help. I bought this game through steam yesterday. But whenever I tried to open it, it says "Unable to locate a running instance of steam". I tried everything that has been suggested: 1.) Restart Steam, Restart laptop 2.) Deleted appcache folder from steam then restarted my laptop and steam. 3.) Verified game cache then restarted steam. 4.) Re-installing steam and the game 4 times now. 5.) Tried running steam/DayZ as an administrator. 6.) Disabled any programs that might affect the game e.g. AntiVirus programs. **Nothing worked. Please help. Felt like I wasted $30. **
