It allows you to simulate some technologies, thereby reducing the load on the modules of our PCs.

The game developers, like other self-respecting programmers, have created a special system that monitors the clients of the players in order to prevent third-party software from affecting the game process.

But over time, the developers corrected this in order to allow everyone to enjoy the game with weaker PCs. But some users may still receive similar errors, because The work on optimizing ReShade in the game is continued by the Pubg developers.
