The first problem my game was having it just said "preparing to launch Dayz.."
My friend had me changed the launch options to - window. Now is try's then CTD. so I don't know if that is a little bit of information that helps but we have try'ed a lot of things to get it to work.

This is a friend of justchris. I have fixed the issue. I deleted the folder you suggested as well as turned off compatability mode for the game and administrator mode. I also removed the launch options that were "-h 1920 -w 1080". The game launched perfectly fine. Thank you for your assistance.

I have steam on my (D:) not (C:) because my c is my SS D: is my hard drive. where would I go on that to find it because user is not on my D:. Is there a file that steam would store it in? I found it on my C: and did what you said and then when to launch and nothing has been generated.

This is what was in the file before I deleted it. I will delete it again and see if any thing generates.

I went to C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\ and deleted it and tryed to launch nothing was generated, so I'm going to reinstall and attach that with it and then I will delete it again and try launching again.
