Why can i only run dayz in window mode??!?

[magga (DayZ) 0]

Hi! I`m having quite a problem... I was playing dayz with my mates, when suddenly my network connection fell out. It came back just a couple of seconds later. I had to restart the game, and when I tried to launch it, it just chrases and says: "Arma 2 OA has stopped working".

I`ve tried every thing to fix it. I`ve reinstalled everything that has anything to do with arma or Dayz, I restarted both my computer and my network, and I`ve tried to run every thing as administrator.

After all this I found out that i could run dayz in window mode. But the full screen mode doesent work. If i start Dayz in window mode and then in game I try to fix it to fullscreen, it chrases.

I googled the problem and I couldnt find anything. So this is my last hope. Please help me, I sooooo want to play Dayz again, and be able to see whats going on in game.

I would love it if someone had an explenation for this, or better yet, a soulution.

Try deleting your config files in My Doc's, ArmAII + CO / OA + other profiles or whatever you have.

Might help, might not.

What none whatsoever ?

Ok, create a new profile, try and set the video and quit the game before playing anything.

Another thing to check is that the config files are not "read only".

Run as admin.

Might as well give your system spec's while we're at it.
