Help pls! Game crashes when i try to change some video options

Recommended Posts

when i attempt to change the 'rendering resolution' to 100%(mine is 1920X1080) in the 'video' options(mine appears to be 75%, 1440 x  810 as listed by default and i have no idea why), the game crashes with the error; Error: Device reset failed, error 8876086c.

 

Also, i am unable to disable anti-aliasing or vertical sync as modifying those options causes the game to crash too

 

help pls.

 

my specs:

 

XP OS

intel core i7 3 ghz

nvidia GTX460 updated to latest software version

6gb ram

If you can't do it in game, here's a solution. Go to C:\Users\User\Documents\DayZ. In the DayZ folder there should be a file that says DayZ.cfg change the .cfg to .txt and open it. There you can change your video settings, but make sure to save the file and change it back to .cfg. Good luck!

Its your OS, have you tried putting -winxp into your launch parameters?
