Lt. CrinkleSac 0 Posted February 8, 2015 When I try to play DayZ Standalone a message shows up saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". I have no clue on what to do. *note I was able to play before the .53 patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go to steam, games, right click DayZ, properties and validate your game files. Somehow it fixed it for me. Also, if you have a geforce graphics card go to GeForce experience and optimize your game. Hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
