When attempting to run DayZ Standalone, I get the "Unable to locate a running instance of Steam." I have searched for a solution but came short.
Things I have tried:
- Disabling Anti-virus
- Running as DayZ.exe admin
- Verifying game cache
- Restarting Steam
- Restarting the PC
- Deleting all Steam files expect Steam.exe and Steam apps
- Doing a complete re-install of Steam
I have heard that formatting your PC will fix the problem but I think doing that is very drastic.
