Hi XviktX,
would it be possible to try a couple possible workarounds?

  • Verify the game data (Rightclick on DayZ in Steam Library - Properties - Local files - Verify integrity of game cache)
  • Reinstall the game
  • Launch both Steam and DayZ as administrator
  • Try launching the game with resolution parameters changed as described here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/203970-resolution-problems-read-here-before-posting/ . Also try changing the windowed parameter value to 1 in the same way.
  • Make sure your drivers, especially graphics card are up to date

Also, it would be appreciated if you could attach your DxDiag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DxDiag) report to the ticket.
Thanks,
Andy
