DayZ wont start up / Computer all around slow when booting
It all started when I changed the render distance values of DayZ in "DayZ other profiles" in my documents. I modifyied them to their defaults (I thought I did). Then I went to steam to start the game but all I got is a black screen after 30 or more seconds. Then I was sitting in the black screen for a minute or two and a REALLY slow and laggy bohemia logo came. Another 30 seconds on that logo and another black screen. 2 mins and the DayZ logo and after that another black screen and nothing came in 5 minutes.
I have tried:
Redownloading DayZ
Removing CFG's folders from my documents (DayZ and DayZ other profiles)
Adding -nopause -nologo(or similar) to steam launch parameters. - This one made a change which is that when I finally got the black screen "started" I had to wait 30 seconds for only the DayZ logo which had a text in the upper left corner "Waiting for host" or something like that.
And thats it.
About the computer start up slowness..... Usually when I start my computer from a shutdown it takes 20-30 secs to get past the windows animated logo screen. Today it took 3-5 minutes. Under a minute on the "Starting windows" text and the rest on the "Protected by avast!" text.
I feel as these 2 are connected as the slowness started right after the DayZ thing.
