3D performance error

[flyinhigh 0]

Whenever I ran DayZ I never got this error but yesterday I started the mod up and this error appeared:

'No entry 'C:\Users\user\Documents\Arma 2\Arma2OA.cfg.3D_Performance'.

The game runs up fine but the graphics look very crappy and I can barely see the text or really anything on the mod. I've searched the forums but I can not find a solution, please help.

Open the file with notepad and add the following lines to the bottom:

3D_Performance=100000;

adapter=-1;

Did it, still gives the error and didn't work.

Did it save correctly and with a .cfg file extension?

I went to 'Start' and looked up 'arma2' on my search bar and saw that adapter=-1 and 3D_Performance=100000 on the arma2 file on notepad, I saved it afterward and re-checked just in case.

Probably found the wrong file, use the directory tree it says in the message, if there are multiple .cfg files in the Arma2 folder, maybe try adding it each.

ugh I misread your post I thought you meant change the 3D_Performance=100000; and adapter=-1; to which ever file has it, I didn't 'add' them into the ARMA2OA file. I just did that now and it's not showing the error but the graphics are not changing back to normal, probably because the arma2 file with '3d_performance' isn't supposed to have a value of 100000? It originally had a value over 4000000 but it had specific numbers before. Is this the problem?

EDIT:The 3d_performance value in the ARMA2 file that I put to '100000' also had a minus (-) in it if this helps.

I'm not sure, you could try deleting the file and I believe ArmA will replace it with a new one, probably a good idea to make a backup copy first though.
