Unable to play, game will not start

The message that pops up when I open DayZ from drive is - 

 

DayZ.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point D3DXFilterTexture could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DayZ\DayZ.exe.

Try launching it from steam, not the drive its on, if that doesn't work try verifying you game cache.

I have already done both, and it still doesn't work Dx

If you need more details on specs, ask for what parts you need. Also any other info that would help you?

I'm just guessing, but to me it seems that there is a problem with DirectX. I think DayZ needs DirectX9.0c? I would try to reinstall that, this link might be helpful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-gaming/have-directx-11-wont-play-games-says-i-need/300f3c23-d2cb-4750-9566-aad125857c8c

 

But again, I'm just guessing.

Thanks, I will try it out.

Update- Successful install and rebooted computer, sadly the problem is still there

Hm, completely de- and reinstall dayz? From the error it looks to me as if the dayz.exe could be corrupted? Mind to share the filesize of your dayz.exe? Mine is 12.771.840 Bytes.

 

It's weird to me though that the error message referrs to a dynamic link libary ( .dll ) while pointing on the .exe. But i'm no software expert.

I should have mentioned that i play on Experimental, that might explain the different filesize. But well, sorry man, I run out of ideas. Wish i could've helped better.
