Steam refuses to start Day Z

So I was able to play day z fine a month or two ago, but now all of a sudden steam refuses to start it. I click play, the little circle by the arrow spins, then it doesn't do anything. I tried running as admin, that didn't work, tried running in compatibility mode (in xp service pack 3, and windows 7) and that didn't work either. I'm thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling it to see if that may work, but I wanted to see if anyone had the same issues and had a fix? I'm not sure if its because of the recent update or not...

Did you Verify the Cache?

I just did, turns out I had 162 files with issues so it re-downloaded those files

Usually the first thing you should do when you have issues with a steam game. can save ya a reinstall and other bullshit.  Next would be 'have you turned it on and off?'
