Interaction and Display Fixes
Match Resolutions
Ensure your in-game resolution is set to match your desktop resolution exactly. Any mismatch can cause input misalignments with the menu.
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.
- Right-click your desktop and select Display Settings.
- Under Scale and layout, ensure the percentage is set to 100%.
Disable Steam Overlay Scaling
The Steam overlay feature can conflict by scaling its own text and icons, affecting the cheat menu’s mouse input.
- Open Steam Settings.
- Navigate to the In-Game section.
- Disable the option: “Scale Steam Overlay text and icons to match monitor settings.”
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.
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.”
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.
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.
