i dont have anything about dayz in documents

Verify dayz files in steam. Tick all boxes at the window which opens while verify. You should have a dayz folder on your drives.

If verify doesnt help, use windows search to find a dayz folder which contains a dayz.cfg

First disable Steam Cloud for DayZ from your Library. Keep it disabled forever.

Try deleting the entire DayZ folder from your users directory (without Steam running). Then go into Steam and Verify all files and validate. This usually fixes it for me, but honestly I have had that issue from time to time for YEARS. Never found a good solution.

When it gets bad, I just uninstall, remove each and every file or folder named DayZ after uninstall (search in Windows explorer and delete them all). Also remove registry entries for DayZ (search regedit). And reinstall. Helps to unsubscribe from ALL Workshop mods first for some reason.

Once reinstalled, BEFORE launching DayZ, ensure Steam Cloud is disabled. Try launching. Good luck!

This problem is caused by Onedrive which hijacks file path to Documents folder and at the same time restricts DayZ from creating an entry. Even unlinking from OneDrive does not restore local file path.

To solve it, open DayZ launcher and go to Parameters->All Parameters.
Basic-> Name your profile
Advanced-> Profile Folder: manually set path to any local folder (I set my local Docs folder in users data).

Enjoy not having to change the settings upon login.

OneDrive is not the Steam Cloud .. OneDrive is on YOUR system .. Steam Cloud is a Steam feature .. What worked for you is not the same as what the others are having a problem with, but to be honest, the OneDrive should have been disabled by you, the first time you started your new PC, as should Steam Cloud .. Both are not game-friendly, and USB flash drives are better alternatives if you need to backup or save your Profiles/games.

Perhaps turn off any AV software you have, also windows defender, might be denying Dayz permission to write to the required folder.

Thank You for advise
