Can't launch Dayz Standalone.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Whenever i press play it looks like it starting for 1 sec then it tabs back to my desktop. I can still see the game on my taskbar but i can't open it and i get a message saying:unable to locate a running instance of steam dayz standalone.
I tried alot of things to fix this like: reinstalling steam and dayz,verifying my game cache,updating my drivers,updating directX and so on.
Anyone know what to do? I can't find a solution anywhere.

When this happens, please quite the game, and shut down Steam completely. Then right click the Steam icon and select "Run as administrator".

That should resolve your problem.
