Game wont start from Steam
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I try to launch the game from Steam I am greeted with the following message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item."

When i try to launch the game from the Steam Apps folder it loads and then restarts Battleye and then reloads and works fine but tells me I should load the game from Steam in future. I have done a re-install of the game and it is still doing it.

Hi donke0394 and sorry to hear about your trouble.
Please try launching both Steam and the game as administrator and let me know if it helped.
Regards,
Andy

Dayz was set to run as Administrator but Steam was not, By setting Steam to run as Admin this has fixed my issue. Strange how it worked fine before the latest update.
Many thanks

Good to hear it works!
Indeed, this is strange and we will look into it, but as long as you can play, it should be acceptable :).
Regards,
Andy
