I received an email today from BI support asking me to do a clean reinstall of DayZ. I is working now I just got on one of the official servers and picked up right where I left off.

If I am reading this correctly it's not just Shadow and GFN users. https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/bsck0x/failed_to_install_battleye_service/

Just came across this; https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1119102/pc/dayz-removed-/ they are saying it's down for maintenance can that be interpreted as it's being fixed?

2 things:

1. shadow is not supposed to be used like a server, they explicitly forbid that.
2. to save on hardware they use server hardware capable of running multiple people, and run a few VMs with the users' Systems on one of those, and Geforce now acts similarly.
   
   Mac Running boot camp SHOULD not really be a problem, as there is no emulation. a mac ever since they use intel CPUs is just like a normal PC except it uses macOS. using bootcamp for windows is comparable to having a PC dualboot with Windows and Linux.
   
   having windows run on your Mac via Virtualbox or Parallels Desktop on the other Hand, would be a VM and therefore trigger the problem.
   
   regarding using private servers, it would depend on what type of server you rent. a vServer (v for Virtual) would obviously also be virtual, while on the other hand a dedicated means you have the whole server for yourself which SHOULD mean you have no VM.

I see that other people who are running DayZ on regular PC's are having the same issue starting 2 days ago also. This is why I'm not convinced it's a Shadow PC problem and is a DayZ/Batteye issue.

even when an administrator dayz talks about the battleye and tells us they will revoke access to the virutel pc?

I am having the same problem and Yes I am using a Shadow PC. I'm not a tech wizard but why should it make a difference whether it's a virtual machine or not?
