MatchboxChick 20 Posted July 5, 2014 Hello, I was previously playing Day Z and regrettably was fiddling with the graphics until the entire screen shrunk and is now unplayable. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=12985 I found that page which is more or less my problem. I can't seem to fix it despite following everyone's instructions on that page.I don't know what to do. I have uninstalled the game, reinstalled it. I have deleted everything from the DayZ folder found in My Documents, it keeps coming back. I have typed in on the .cfg file the resolution I wanted, and changed the adapter from -1 to 2 in case I had two graphics cards. The screen literally won't change. I am out of ideas ='[ I just want to continue gaming. Can anyone please help me. At this point I am willing to delete my entire character and profile from the server (if i could) in order to start fresh as if I was opening DayZ for the first time. I am playing on a laptop ACERIntelCore i5-2430M 2.4GHzNVIDIA GeForce GT 520M,4G ram ~ Ashley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krackman 80 Posted July 5, 2014 If you do have 2 graphic cards, try to go into "Device Manager" and activate your standard/your best graphic card and then try to open dayz again. Or else just try to open DayZ as administrator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGreatPerson 12 Posted July 5, 2014 Extremely simple. This happened to me. When in video setting, go to User interface and set that to your resolution, THEN you should be able to to change the main resolution back. If not just watch the video above.

Irish. 4886 Posted July 5, 2014 There is both a rendering and a resolution setting, you must change the first to be able to adjust the second. That sounds horrible though. Ive been in situations like that where you try everything, nothing works.. then all of a sudden you find the solution. I hope you find it soon :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted July 5, 2014 use teamviewer to have someone else try and fix it for you remotely (something iv had to do for a number of friends for settings related to arma mod version of dayz in the past) Ive never heard of this teamviewer? Nice. Brilliant recommendation on the Nvidia settings too.. great solution if that works :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ninja_Meh 115 Posted July 5, 2014 Ive never heard of this teamviewer? Nice. Brilliant recommendation on the Nvidia settings too.. great solution if that works :)teamviewer is great for problems out of your knowledge scope, if you have a friend who knows what he is doing to try and fix things. the nvidia experience thing is great although not always perfect for optimising all games and is not compatible with older nvidia cards but usually does the trick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
