Blackredorangefire 2 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Hello guys. I have a friend that bought DayZ SA and after he downloaded it, he launched the game and after loading and going to the menu, it's just a black screen. He told me that he can hear the sound like the nature sound and he can see his cursor, but he does not see the menu options. The screen is just black. He has tried to wait it out for 10 hours, he verified his cache, updated his drivers and video card, tried to start the game from the folder instead of Steam, and even re-downloaded the game, but sadly, still no luck. Can anyone share some experience or knowledge of fixing this bug? He really wants to play, but I can only help so much. If anyone can help him fix the bug, that will be highly appreciated. Thanks! Hope to hear from you guys soon! Edited April 7, 2014 by Blackredorangefire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Try this fix from Applejaxc as a test and adjust the res manually then relaunch as admin. Hit the windows key Go to documents Go to "DayZ" Open DayZ.cfg Edit these values I'm glad Windows 7 comes with a "Snippit" tool for screen capture. report back, Steak.
