Weird zoom glitch

[Neuroglia13]

So I have this zoom problem as soon as I start up the game. It's super fuzzy like it's been zoomed and my mouse cursor is 10 times as big as normally. Any ideas to fix? Maybe something to do with firewall?

Have you tried any of the resolution fixes or adjusted the resolution in-game?

I tried to adjust it in game but I can barely read anything and it didn't change

This is less of a "bug" and more of a thing that people haven't noticed.
With the latest Stable patch, the FOV value was reset and (possibly?) the FOV range you can set is wider. All you need to do is re-set your FOV in the Video settings.

If that doesn't work:

THE FIX

- Go to C:\Users\xxx\Documents\DayZ\
- Open DayZ.cfg with notepad (or any text editor)
- Replace everything with the below (make back-ups):

language="English";
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=1500000;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
Windowed=1;
Resolution_W=1280;
Resolution_H=720;
winX=50;
winY=50;
winW=1280;
winH=720;
winDefW=1280;
winDefH=720;
Render_W=1280;
Render_H=720;
FSAA=0;
postFX=0;
GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;
HDRPrecision=8;
lastDeviceId="";
localVRAM=2087387136;
nonlocalVRAM=2147483647;
vsync=0;
AToC=0;
SWLayersCount=0;
PipQuality=3;
PPAA=0;
ssaoEnabled=0;

This will disable everything or set it as low as possible, and makes the game run in a 1280x720 window. After the game loads, go to Configure > Video > User Interface... and choose your resolution or simply resize the window before adjusting any other settings.

If you absolutely don't want to change the rest of your graphical settings, just modify these lines (should work fine, but try the above if it doesn't):

Windowed=1;
Resolution_W=1280;
Resolution_H=720;
winDefW=1280;
winDefH=720;
Render_W=1280;
Render_H=720;

Resolution = Overall resolution the game will run at.
winDef = Interface resolution, includes menus and text.
Render = Resolution the game will be rendered at before up/downscaling to overall resolution.

Note: If your character/game looks "wide," go into Configure > Video > User Interface and make sure your Aspect Ratio is properly set. 1600x900 and 1920x1080 are 16:9 resolutions, for example.

Change the resolution in-game. (Instructions below if text is unreadable.)
1. In the main menu, click Configure (4th button.)
2. Click Video (Top-left, below the sliders.)
3. Click User Interface (Top-left, below the sliders.)
4. Change Resolution (First drop-down menu.)
5. The resolution should improve enough to set it to the one you want.

Change your download region to Denmark.
Why Denmark? Because Denmark is awesome.
1. Go to Settings on Steam.
2. Go to Downloads.
3. Select Denmark from the drop-down list and restart Steam.
4. Verify your game.

Optional steps:
5. Check your DayZ.cfg and name.DayZProfile files for corruption.
(If the content has weird characters or looks like a mess, it's corrupted.)
6. Delete corrupted files.
7. Verify your game.

It was the window size. I couldn't read anything so it took forever to find
