In your Steamlibrary, rightlick DayZ and go to properties.

 

Under the Tab "Local Game Files" click "Verify Integrity" or something alongs those lines. Might not be 100% correct, but you get the deal.

Unplug it and plug it back in.

I am running on windows 8 not sure if that makes a difference but when I click properties there is no Local Games FIles tab

Unplug it and plug it back in.

Sorry kind of a noob, what do you mean by unplug and plug it back in exactly

"Verify your Steam cache" is the Steam equivalent to malfunctioning electronics. The first thing a help line asks you to do is make sure it's plugged in, the second is to unplug, wait, and plug it back in.

He's just being facetious (think I'm using that correctly), just run the Verify on Steam and it should reinstall whatever's missing.

Is this what you're seeing? By the way, you probably won't see this exactly when you open DayZ's properties, just something similar. It's just that Starbound is the only game I have installed on my computer.
