Windowed Mode?

[Lady 0]

Hello! I'm new to Day Z and am trying to figure out all this fancy vidya game stuff.

 

Where is the option for Windowed Mode? Is there one? Because if so, it is doing an awesome job of hiding from me. 

 

 

Thanks in advance. c:

When you're in the main menu press alt+enter for windowed mode

press escape, goto configure, then video, then user interface, its the top scrollbar.. scroll to the bottom....then your going to need to adjust it to the size of your screen.

Now, at the very bottom of the document, there will be "Windowed=0;" displayed. Change the '0' to a '1'.

Now, save that document.

THIS IS IMPORTANT: After saving your document, right click and go to 'properties'. You must check 'READ ONLY' for this to work, otherwise the game will overight everything you have just done. 

When starting the game, it will start in an annoying little box. There is probably a way to change that through the same config file, but I can't get that to work. You can resize the window once the game has started with your curser.

You can also add -window to your DayZ launch parameters. Right click on DayZ > General >  Set launch options.

The problem I'm having is while in windowed-mode the window appears to be stuck in a locked 4:3 aspect ratio.

Glad it worked out for you.
