Unable to init dxgi
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

After selecting a server (with or without mods) I get a blank screen with the blue circle chasing it's tail. Sometimes it closes on it's own. Sometimes both the game and the launcher close together. Other times I have to manually close the game via Task Manager. It finally gave me the "exited in an unusual manner" screen with an Exit Code of 0x00000001 - Unable_To_INIT_DXGI

Additional Information


I have ensured all drivers and OS are current. I have validated the DayZ installation and re-installed the game twice. Both Reforger and DayZ Experimental work fine as well as another game. It feels like DayZ is not properly selecting the right GPU.

Hello Logical_Mess1960.
Please try to delete the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ and C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ Exp folders, then verify the game data through Steam.
Make sure Steam Cloud Sync is disabled prior doing so!
