In other words what have you tried kinda helps to know what you have done to be able to do anything to help.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Black 1 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) It's almost like it tries to switch my screen resolution but fails and goes back to desktop....OK, this is a very common problem when you first start the game, I had it too. Go to Documents > DayZ > DayZ CFG file, alter it so that it reads Resolution_W=1280; Resolution_H=720; - change the numbers in bold, I'm assuming yours will be a lot smaller. Save the file, start the game and now you should be able to see the menu. I've got a feeling this problem happens with video cards which don't support the default resolution when the game first starts. As you've only got 2GB RAM, which isn't really enough to play the game, I'm assuming your graphics might not be up to it either. Find out your card and post it here. To find out your Video Card, right click on the desktop, click on Screen Resolution, click on Advanced Settings and it should be next to where it says 'Adapter String'. If you're on a laptop it might only tell you your integrated graphics, so go to Control Panel, View By: Small Icons, Device Manager, and then under 'Display Adapters'. This method will tell you everything about your hardware. You can also find your CPU on here. This should work with both Windows 7 and 8.
