Hey everyone! I recently reset my laptop, then downloaded steam and day z etc.., but went to play day z and I literally can't read the words to get into a game, it's soo blurry, I don't know how to change it back! Help!!!

I had a bit similar problem after the game crashed and all my video settings were reset. Though I had set correct rendering resolution etc. the game looked weird. Most notably server messages and inventory were blurry and "different" from before. The solution was found under video/user interface settings, where the game had reset to 4:3 aspect ratio. After I changed it to match my LCD's own and set correct resolution to the UI also, the problem was solved.  :)

This seems to be a confirmed fix for 95% of "blurry screen" cases. Aspect ratio should be 16:9 for a normal HD Widescreen (1920x1080), or 16:10 for Ultrawide screen (1920x1200).
