Is there a setting in steam to launch in window mode under the games? or try right mousing them or something. Haven't checked myself but it doesn't take a genius to look.

Yes thiers a setting to launch in windowed mode which works fine, but i dont like playing DayZ like this becuase it greatly affects resolution, not to mention i shouldnt really have to cause i bought the game :)

Right click on the beta patch .exe, go to properties, and under the "shortcut" tab, go to the end of the command line and make sure theres nothing there called -windowmode or something like that.

Removing that worked for me.

cheers man , were can i find this beta patch .exe? in arma 2, program files , steam files?

[Cooto3s (DayZ) 0]

If you're using steam it would be in your steam directory yes. It's in the same folder as the normal OA exe

Download and install Six Updater

http://www.six-updater.net/p/download.html

Once it's installed and updated, press the icon on your desktop called six launcher it will open a dayz server browser.

Press ONCE on any of the servers running version 1.7.1.5 (you can see this in the server name) then press the verify/update button on the left. Let it download and finish, then press join.

The masterservers are down at the moment though, so dont expect to get any further than the lobby.

Thats what iv been doing to play days, but it still trys to open it in fullscreen, which for som reason my apparently good computer is not compatable with, when i did this it just opened up and i see a black screen for a split second and bang, back to desktop with Arma icon still on taskbar, so naturally i click to icon of Arma 2 OA on the taskbar to get backinto the game, Black screen flashes up as if its about to start and before i know it im back at the desktop again ?
