I had the same problem, found a workaround somewhere online. You have to edit your gamesettings manual with a texteditor. On Windows 8 the file is found at C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\DayZ\<Playername>.DayZProfile Then look for the entry "TexQuality=3;" and replayce the 3 for a 4. Then it should look like "TexQuality=4;". Now make the file write-protected and it should do the trick. Remember that you can´t edit the settings ingame as long as the file is write-protected. Sorry for my english, but its not my mothertounge :D Greetz The Sausage :P
