Game will crash if changing settings post starting a new game.
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

After I have set my config and started a new game, If I am not happy with any of the graphics or input settings and change them, then the next time I try to load the game it will crash during the game loading screen, after I hit Play.

To fix this I need to delete my User_settings.DayZProfile in documents\dayz

After I delete this it will allow me to continue playing.

The two times it has done this has been when I change the brightness or switch from inverted mouse to non inverted or back.

Steps To Reproduce

I am able to replicate it by deleting the file, starting a game - confirming it works, then exiting to the menu, changing brightness or any other graphical setting - and then trying to join the server. Within 10 seconds it will crash and continue to crash until I delete that file.

I am unable to reproduce the crash by changing graphics settings in the menu between games.
Is this only occurring on a specific server?
Have you verified game files through Steam?

Hello bunzarum and thank you for the report.
Are there any .mdmp files being created in your appdata folder when this issue occurs? And does the game crash with an error or does it simply shut down?
Regards,
Geez
