Bluehole Studio has announced that it will release its anti-cheat update for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. However, and even though at first Reshare was allowed, this new anti-cheat system will not be compatible with it. As such, players will have to completely uninstall Reshade in order to play PUBG.
As PUBG’s Community Manager said:
“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.”
Furthermore, this new system may temporarily block other programs too, like the NVIDIA Shadowplay. A lot of players have used Shadowplay in order to capture and stream videos, so that may become a big issue for streamers. Not only that, but this new anti-cheat system may temporarily block other video/audio capture programs.
“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. We will be dealing with these cases as soon as possible.”

Kinda a shot in the foot move on their part, since streamers are basically there source of advertising.
Isn’t this so-called anti-cheat system becoming slowly like Microsoft’s UWP feature, from Windows 10 OS (Universal Windows Platform) ?
Sort of anti-consumer…
Why block NV’s ShadowPlay, and other video/audio capture programs as well ? I’m pretty sure FRAPS must also be included in all this..

No.
Happy and sad reshade is blocked… I don’t use shadowplay but I can’t understand why you would block it. As for reshade, totally understandable.

“we don’t want you trying to make our ugly game looking prettier” lol.
Oh while they test anticheat. Still, who even plays this overrated casual fad garbage?
These guys are millionaires, they became millionaires with minimal effort by releasing an unfinished product. They have the “hottest” game right now on the market, made a deal with Micro$oft and the money pipe keeps flowing with new income.
But they can’t white-list the most popular PC game injector out there. They can’t even white-list recording programs made by the GPU manufacturers themselves.
Think about who you are giving your money to, people.
Well said.
But, I still wonder why so many peeps still prefer playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds like a craze, even more than any other multiplayer online game out there ?
