Graphics/Colour Malfunctioning(screen completely black and white upon ingame spawn)

[Psychic Moose 1]

Hey Guys,

I bought Arma 2: Combined Operations of Steam 3 days ago and since then have experienced most of the major glitches in this game( Wrong CD key error, repeatedly kicked from server upon joining, Black Loading screen glitch and just general crashes and/or unresponsiveness.

All of these I have overcome but upon joining a server I am brought to the lobby screen which is normal(http://imgur.com/wuupe).

After clicking okay the game loads as normal but when I spawn something goes awry and my screen looks like this(http://imgur.com/3lYqX).

This will then randomly and without obvious cause turn into this(http://imgur.com/tHvdU).

After raging because I can't see shit I hit disconnect and go back to the lobby then hit disconnect there aswell which takes you to the Arma 2:Operation Arrowhead menus where I see a perfectly normal picture of what it should look like(http://imgur.com/s9vBT).

The images above where taken on a server at 6:30am(ingame time) and it was upon spawn. I have not been hit by a zombie and/or lost any blood.

I'm so confused. I've tried running Steam and DayzCommander in administrator mode at the same time, I've reinstalled BattlEye anti cheat numerous times, I've tried running Steam in administrator and running DayzCommander through Steam, I've even tried booting a seperate Arma 2: OA then loading DayZ which still didn't work infact Arma 2: OA was running fine until I tried to load DayZ in which the same colour glitch that was happening to DayZ happened to Arma 2:OA.

Arma 2:OA, DayZ and DayzCommander are all current versions.

Somebody please help me!?

It's night time still try a different server or wait.

Sorry, forgot to put in there that I have tried many different servers(5 in total) all having the same problem and most of them were daytime(ie between 9am and 3pm)

Those images are night time images, it's EXACTLY what it's like in DayZ during night time. If the time reference you are talking about is from DayZ commander or some other browser, they are most of the time wrong to lure players in. Go back and open your watch, check the time again. It's night time. Also, that last screenshot is what it would look like if it wasn't night time, time is not rendered when you quit that is why you are seeing it lit up.

This happens at the main menu to me, exactly how he described this situation.
