Hello,

 

the "error compiling pixel shader" message basically says that the game cannot compile its core shader code. This can happen when:

 

1) The game launches with incorrect / corrupted startup parameters. Delete any parameters you might have set. In Steam, you will have to do this:

1. Go to your Steam Library.

2. Right click on DayZ.

3. Click on 'Properties'.

4. Under general tab, click on 'Set launch options...' button.

5. Delete everything in the launch parameter field.

6. With Steam running as Administrator, try to launch DayZ again.

 

2) Some core files are missing

In this case a full reinstall should solve the problem. Remember to also delete the installation directory after uninstalling before installing again.
