Hi,

At the main menu, click Configure -> Video -> User Interface and use the Resolution drop down list to select your resolution.

Make sure the Aspect Ratio option matches the aspect ratio of your resolution.

Close the config settings completely and return to the main menu.

Then open Config again, click Video and then select your resolution from the Rendering Resolution drop down list.

This should return your game back to normal resolution.

well, thx agme fixed now to normal. really why that i have to do ?.. what if i was dont know english and not able to ask you?

Open dayz.cfg file and type "your real resolution" in there like ; for example 1920X1080

change older one like that... delete 640 and 480 and type your resolution...
Resolution_W=1920;
Resolution_H=1080;

then open the game and change your resolution to 1920X1080 and change interface size to normal and change aspect ratio then you'll solve your problem...

had the same thing on a laptop, did some googleing, here's what solved it for me:

laptops may have 2 graphics cards. the one advertised in the specs and a second, much less powerful unit. if the laptop does standard desktop applications it runs on the slim unit to conserve energy. apparently games and alike are supposed to automatically switch to the powerful unit because the slim unit does not provide all the 3d features required for the game.

in my case dayz wouldn't comply. so i had to open my dayz.cfg in the C:\Users\<your user>\Documents\DayZ folder. find the line

adapter=-1; and change to adapter=2;

"minus one" is apparently autodetect. the powerful graphics card was the 2nd entry in the windows device manager so i set the config to two.

that fixed it for me. your adapter number might vary. i had all relevant drivers updated before attempting the config file change. hope this helps.

Hello cagdas21,

I'll close the issue since it seems that your resolution problem is fixed. In case you encounter any further problems, please feel free to open up a new issue in the Feedback Tracker.
