Disappearing screen issue

[wallex12 0]

Hello, I just got Day Z today and I am having a very weird glitch or something happening. Basically the screen disappears. It's like everything in the game is working except the whole window is just not there and I see my desktop. I still hear the sound in my game even though the window is gone however. For example if I press the movement keys my character start running and I can hear my character running like normal.

I'm not sure if this matters but I'm not running through steam because I don't really know how to get it running through steam. I can't play the game because this glitch happens at random normally within the first few minutes of starting it up. So far I have not been able to play yet. I would love it if anyone could help me out with this problem.

Thanks!

Yup, i have this problem too. Happens randomly.

But i use steam, so obviously it doesn't matter if steam is used or not.

Again without filling out basic information like the big sticky i linked all anyone can do is just guess.

Easiest solution is to press Ctrl-Alt-Enter to go into windowed mode, which will restart the graphics.

Then just press Ctrl-Alt-Enter again to go to full screen.

Took a while before i found out how easy it is...
