Last Friday we reported on a fairly lengthy Steam post by the PUBG devs that new anti-cheating measures are on the way in. About 20 minutes ago, the PUBG devs gave us a bit more granularity of what exactly was going to happen and when. Today at 6PM PST will be the mark here in North America and the devs say there will be no downtime for servers. One popular application that will be blocked is ReShade. They go on to say that some video capture programs may be temporarily blocked till they get that all worked out. If you are experiencing a "non-cheat" application that is getting blocked, there is already a form up for you to submit so the devs can evaluate unblocking it. The video below talks about some of the apps impacted. As already mentioned in our dev blog, we will be deploying an anti-cheat update tomorrow. The update will go live at Feb 5 6PM PST / Feb 6 3AM CET / 11AM KST and there will be no downtime for the servers. The new anti-cheat feature will block different helper programs that alter the graphics or aid in gameplay in some way. What these programs have in common is that they all hook into our game and transform game files. Programs that are not used to gain an unfair advantage can also be blocked if they behave like cheats. One of the popular programs that will be blocked is ReShade. You will not be banned for having it on system but you will no longer be able to play PUBG while it is installed. Please uninstall ReShade (or any other blocked program) and launch the game again. Some players may find that reinstalling PUBG is also necessary. Some programs that do not affect gameplay may be blocked temporarily (NVIDIA ShadowPlay, video / audio capture programs, etc.) as we hone the new anti-cheat features.
