How do you run Dayz in windowed mode?

I'm running 2 monitors and I'm curious how to play Dayz in windowed mode so I can do stuff on my other monitor without minimizing Dayz. Thank You

You need to change the resolution values in C:\Users\[Your Username]\Documents\DayZ\DayZ.cfg to the ones you need, and change the last line to Windowed=1;

Just hit Alt + Enter while in the main menu.

In your steam launch options for dayz add -window

will give you a resizable game window

or go to config video-user interface- than go to window

If the OP wants a borderless pseudo-fullscreen window, which most people tend to do when they use multiple displays, the .cfg file is the better option as it allows you to set precise sizes and window positions.

I don't. Tried it and it was more hassle than it was worth.

What resolution values should I change it to and if I want it to display on my secondary monitor do I need to change anything. I have Ultramon but the windowed settings (which allow you to decide what monitor the app/program launches on) don't seem to come on for Dayz.

I did a post about this ages ago, it's a lot of hassle and doesn't really work properly but theres instructions on how to setup your config file in this thread
