Blurry Screen.

HELP!

Just bought Dayz and I have downloaded it on my new Lenovo C260 all-in-one desktop, however when I first started playing it, I couldn't even start the game because the graphics were so blurry and when I would move the mouse the cursor would move like 15 sseconds after I moved it. Please help

Think of running DayZ as ploughing a field.

You need a big and powerful tractor to plough it at speed, though a less powerful tractor can still pough it at a reasonable rate.

You arrived at this field in a Prius and are wondering why you can't move the plough at all...

happened to me too. click configure (4th option down) then video (top-left I think) then resolution (top-right I think) then change the "screen resolution" (2nd option down) to your screen's maximum resolution.

This particular problem has nothing to do with the power of his computer, though it IS underpowered for DayZ.

 

To fix it, go to Documents > DayZ > DayZ CFG file and make sure these lines read: "Resolution_W=1280; Resolution_H=720"; then save the file and start the game.  You should be able to see the menus now.

 

On the down side, your PC has Intel HD graphics and isn't upgradeable.  I know people who do run it on integrated cards and are happy with the results, but you will need to use the lowest settings possible, with the resolution I gave you above.

 

Also, follow EVERY step in this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=216291078

 

Turn off shadows, clouds, put textures on low and video memory on auto.  It'll still look alright and you'll maybe get 20-25 fps outside cities  That's if you've got HD 4000 graphics though I have a bad feeling it might be worse on a c260.  Right click on the desktop, > Screen Resolution > Advanced Settings, then tell us what it says next to 'Adapter String'.

 

Terminal Boy, why do you post things like that?  It's not helpful to anybody.
