If you change certain graphical settings such as 'Shadows' whilst in game, then you are unable to return to the game and the default DayZ loading screen is now in place of the game. Any setting which has to reload the graphics causes this problem. So changing things like "Clouds" does not effect this issue as it doesnt reload any settings.
Only way ive been able to get around this is to log off the server and relog in.
Change graphical settings!
Was doing this whilst in game to find the best FPS performance whilst in built up areas such as Cherno.
Some settings require the game to be restarted before taking effect, the game is reloading and will return you to your running game when it's done.
not a bug, you just have to wait for the game to reload some stuff. On older systems this can take a while.
Can close.
