Description

Hi, I haven't played DayZ in awhile so i decided to launch it off my desktop. as i watched the launcher it asked me to allow something for DayZ so i read it and said yes then i get a pop up that says "windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item" i've done this multiple times and even tried re installing if i could get any help that would be amazing i appreciate it.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. It looks like you have some kind of permission problem on your user account since you get that error message from Windows. Please try to set both Steam and DayZ to run as admin before launching the game.
