If the cheat menu is visible on your screen but you are unable to click, interact, or navigate the menu options, the issue is typically caused by conflicting software or display scaling settings.

​
Interaction and Display Fixes

1

Match Resolutions

Ensure your in-game resolution is set to match your desktop resolution exactly. Any mismatch can cause input misalignments with the menu.
2

Check Windows Scaling (100%)

The cheat menu is designed for 100% display scaling. If you are using anything higher (e.g., 125% or 150%), the menu’s hitbox may be offset.
  1. Right-click your desktop and select Display Settings.
  2. Under Scale and layout, ensure the percentage is set to 100%.
3

Disable Steam Overlay Scaling

The Steam overlay feature can conflict by scaling its own text and icons, affecting the cheat menu’s mouse input.
  1. Open Steam Settings.
  2. Navigate to the In-Game section.
  3. Disable the option: “Scale Steam Overlay text and icons to match monitor settings.”
4

Ensure Steam Overlay is Enabled

The menu often relies on the game client’s overlay for input processing.
  • Make sure the general Steam Overlay is enabled within the Steam client settings.
5

Disable Discord Presence (DayZ Only)

If you are a DayZ subscriber, the game launcher’s Discord integration can cause issues.
  • Open the DayZ SA Launcher settings and disable “Discord Presence.”
6

Remove Conflicting Overlays and Software

Software that draws an overlay or hooks into the graphics pipeline often conflicts with the menu’s input.
  • Uninstall or fully close software like: Overwolf, Wallpaper Engine, Razer Synapse, MSI bloatware, and ASUS Armoury bloatware.
7

Check Steam Beta Status

If you are currently enrolled in the Steam Beta program, this can sometimes introduce stability issues.
  • Go back to the normal, non-beta version of the Steam client.
8

Final Restart

After making any of the changes above, restart your PC completely to ensure all system settings and services are properly reset.
