Launch game, Black screen before I can even get to the main menu

[Fatal12 0]

Hi,

 

So i brought the game earlier today through Steam. I wanted to have a quick play so I launched the game and i instantly got a black screen before i even got to the main menu. after about 10 seconds, the game will minimize and put me back to my desktop. I will tab back into the game, i will still have a black screen and again after 10 seconds i will be thrown back to my desktop.

 

I have searched everywhere and i cant find any solutions, i have tried back dating my Graphics card (AMD 7850) drivers from 14.4 to 13.12 still the same issue. I am yet to try re-installing but i don't see who i could solve the issue. I have also had this problem with a another game but it was a old Windows XP game and re-installing dint work for that.

 

I have spend £20 buying this game and i want it to work. If there is no solution i refused to have a game that i cant play and wish to have my money back, again i cant find where i could possibly do that though.

 

Need Help!

Welcome...

Your search for the term black screen returned 22 results...(not that you will find the answer to your dilemma) !

 

Do you have any config files in My Documents/DayZ with your PC name "name" DAYZCONFIG or other, there should be 3 in total ?
