Hello DarkFrog.
Please try running sfc/scannow to check for any corrupted files and installations. Please try to do a clean video driver install and possibly try an older version. Make sure Steam cloud is disabled when reinstalling and make sure to delete all DayZ related files and folders before the clean installation.
As last resort you could try to do an OS reinstall.
Regards,
Geez

Thank you I'll give it a go.

Reinstalled OS and still nothing.

@DarkFrog Did you try emptying Documents\DayZ and %localappdata%\DayZ?
