Blurry image and no control over cursor.

Description

I bought this game earlier today and found I can't play it at all. As the game is loading it is blurry. I can't even play the game as I can't see what i'm clicking on, this is on the start menu. Also the cursor does not work in the game and its hard to do anything at all. Even exiting it is a task. I don't understand why this is the case as I've checked all the system requirements and my laptop meets them all. I've tried all I can to fix this but it just won't work, I have installed and uninstalled the game several times and its just no different. I think it may be running in compatibility mode and I don't understand why as I have said before my laptop reaches all the requirements.

in your rendering options set your Postprocess Quality to either Low, Very Low or Disabled. Should get even sharper if you set "Edge Smoothing" to any FXAA setting below "High".

Also the blurryness and color loss are indications of your health. Stay hydrated and energized and keep your blood level high to have a sharp, clean and colorful picture.

See Merino's youtube videos on how the health system works for more detailed information. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9YSGX22B6Z3k9-hJzJcz4w

Hello innocentdemon13,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. To begin with, please try the following:

Start DayZ and enter the Main Menu.
Click the button labeled "Configure".
Click the button labeled "Video".
Click the button labeled "User Interface".
Select a high resolution from the dropdown menu.
Select a proper aspect ratio.

Since the button labels might not be legible in your game due to the current User Interface resolution, I have attached a screenshot (UI.jpg) that shows which buttons to click.

As for the cursor that doesn't move; it seems that if you change your Windows font size back to default, the ingame cursor should become responsive again: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller?v=t [^]
