ReShade Ban:
In a move to maintain fair play and game integrity, DayZ’s anti-cheat system, BattlEye, has begun blocking the use of ReShade. This decision addresses concerns that ReShade could provide unfair visual advantages. Players attempting to launch the game with ReShade installed may encounter error messages preventing the game from starting. (feedback.bistudio.com)
