DayZ.exe - Bad Image

[matthewjc7 0]

Picture of the error message I am receiving: 

I'm getting this error every time i try to launch DayZ and I have no idea what it even is, nor do I know what it is caused by. When I click "play" on DayZ in Steam it first launches Battleye and says "starting Battleye service" and then under that it says "launching game" and right after that the error pops up. I have tried reinstalling TWICE now, validated steam files, ran a sfc scan, downloaded C++ packages and what not and NONE of these have fixed it for me. I don't know what to do.

So, if any of you have had this problem and know how to fix it please let me know, as I have tried posting on reddit and imgur with no luck. I've been trying to play this game for 2 days now which is when I bought it. Thanks for any help in advance.

if you have any startup parameters set for dayz, remove them all.

Library->DayZ-> rightclick->Properties->general->Set Launch Options-> remove everything in there

 

if you didn't have any:

try to get help here: feedback.bistudios.com

see here how to report a ticket:

here

you should also include dxdiag and crashdumps:

Getting your DxDiag file:

Open the Start menu

Write "dxdiag"

Press enter

A window will open

Click "Save all information"

You will get a text file - that's what we need

Getting your crash dumps:

Go to this file location: "C:\Users<Name>\AppData\Local"
There you should see a DayZ folder.
Create a .zip or .rar file of that folder.

Then take the .zip/.rar and the DxDiag file and upload them to the Feedback Tracker issue. You can do so by dragging/dropping your files into the Description text field for example.

Hello Hase! Sorry that I am just now seeing this, first of all thank you for the help but there unfortunately was nothing in the "set launch options" box, so that was not the issue. I just now made a post on the feedback site so hopefully I can get it resolved there. Wish me luck, my friend.

did you attach dxdiag and crashdumps (in case they got created, if not write it there)?

the less info the have to ask for in the first place, the faster they can help.
