HeadsUp -- I work in IT and am fairly familiar with Troubleshooting steps*** I've read through many topics, on several forums, regarding this issue and it seems that only a few of them have my exact flavor of problem. I decided to come back to DayZ and see whats new, but instead, was greeted by an unplayable resolution....easy enough - change aspect ratio and resolution. GOOD TO GO... Not the case- I then go on to find that I cannot modify default character settings and my changes to visual settings wont stick. **hmmm, whats up with that** ENTER DA GOOGLE as suspected, most solutions were centered around modifying the .cfg. Easy enough, I've got my handy-dandy Note++, bring it on. Wrong again, turns out I don't have a .cfg , or even a profile folder....actually my whole DayZ documents folder is empty. TLDR Unplayable resolution on game start Can't modify character settings (resolved by removing launch parameters in steam) NO SETTING CHANGES STICK AFTER CLIENT RESTART About my system: Hardware is more than capable of running game* However I am operating on a domain joined computer (That i have both domain and local administration) and BELIEVE MY ISSUE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FOLDER PERMISSIONS / READ ONLY DOCUMENTS FOLDER Any help / suggestions are greatly appreciated. Remember I've gone through any relevant steps I've found in this, and other forums. THANK YOU EVERYONE
