Since updating Nvidia driver, the game won't even load. I get the above error message.
It worked fine before the driver install yesterday. Other games work fine as well. The one thing that's different now is that before the driver, GeForce Experience wouldn't "see" DayZ as a game to "optimize"; now it does but can't assess the game to optimize it. It recommends launching game and making changes while in the program.
Double-clicking the desktop icon, right clicking and running as administrator, dbl clicking the .exe file in the SteamApps folder, right clicking and running as admin in the SteamApps folder.
