Ok im creeping on 24 hours here with 1 message from steam support and 1 message from an admin on this site....ummm im getting pretty upset here i think im missing the launcher for the game. what should be the launcher is another audio pack. i have a dayz icon and a dayz_BE. be is audio and wehn i try to launch off the other it says its an audio file also. i even changed it to DayZ.exe and it still says its an audio file. deleted it and verified the game in steam so it would re-Dl and it is still an audio file.... this is a screenshot of my DayZ folder http://imgur.com/Qb2HO0p is there a way to email or talk to a dev?

So the support on this site is like steams support...not there. i had one dude say something about the freakin lights??? I mean I gave $35.00 for this game and no support on either end? c'mon now
I have been on google, YT, Steam and anywhere else that has popped up about this issue. I bought DayZ SA on Steam. launched the game and it asked me to agree to the Terms to play the game online. I did this and the game didn't launch. restarted steam still didn't launch. Have tried to run steam as admin Tried DayZ itself as admin. Went into Steam and validated cache. Tried all the different launch options. Reinstalled the game like 8 times. every time I launch it says in a Steam window "Preparing to Launch..." for like 1 second and goes away and the game never launches. If I'm sitting at the library it pops up beside the game "syncing" for about the same amount of time as the preparing to launch message. Please help i don't know what could possibly be the problem???
