Under DayZ Gameplay Settings, do you have a setting called “Enable Gameplay Settings File”?

Yes I do have that setting. I have used that file in the past for custom weather settings

I’m at a loss then. Normally the issue you are encountering is a deps issue. You might try a reboot if you haven’t done so after installing those deps

Maybe they are installed but 1 or more are not happy. I’ll play around with the deps. Thank you for helping, I really appreciate it.

Edit - I’m at a loss

Have you rebooted the VM since installing the C++ runtimes?
