galekast 70 Posted August 12, 2014 Hi guys, So I am having an issue that I have never had before.. Got a new pc the other day and finally got DayZ Standalone downloaded.. Upon loading it up I am met with a black screen.. Went into the cfg files and changed my resolution right down to 640x480 and it loaded up... Max resolution I can change it to in game is 800x600 without it black screening.. However, if I boot it in window mode it will run at whatever resolution I choose... Basically I am not sure what to do now as I don't want to play in window mode as it does look awful.. Its strange because I can run Arma 2 in 1776x1000 and Arma 3 at 1280x768 without any issues and I am pretty sure before I got the new pc DayZ Standalone ran at 1280x768 too.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated here...System Specs:Intel i7 4790K OC to 4.6ghzGigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3gb8GB Corsair 2133mhz ram (think thats right) Running it on a Sony Bravia 40" flat screen, model number KDL-40S2530 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estevacio 62 Posted August 12, 2014 Hello man, i have a friend who had the exact same problem!!I have no way to talk to him until i get home but i believe it was related with the monitor itself, try checking add ons such as dual monitor in the options!

galekast 70 Posted August 12, 2014 Ok thank you, if your friend has any info that would be greatly appreciated.. I plugged in my old tv and it happily runs it at 1920x1080... Only other thing I have noticed is that in the Windows display settings under advanced, the Sony Bravia runs at 30hz Interlaced and the older tv runs at 60hz.. Could this be what is causing the issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could this be what is causing the issue? regarding the frequency do not know man, i am not na expert on that but i believe it does affect that(not allowing the monitor to run, and shutting down) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galekast 70 Posted August 13, 2014 Ok thanks man, I don't know what I did but it is happily running along at 720p now.. I will check out the optimization thing and see if I can get it running at higher res :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bornan 0 Posted October 5, 2014 do a search on your computer for the dayz.cfg file, change the value for windowed mode to 1 and relaunch the game, from there you can get into the configure and video settings change resolution to desired scale and then go into the user interface settings and turn windowed mode back off. Restart the game and it should work properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
