Many of the common tools used for cheating in FPS games create an in-game overlay used to provide the cheater with a UI for the cheat and to render hidden information (e.g. wallhacks) in the game world. This is often done by hooking the graphics API used by the game, and that hook is usually performed by replacing the pointers to the functions of the graphics API with pointers to the cheat's own functions. Since DXVK provides its own graphics API functions in a similar way, it can look similar to a cheat in the eyes of poorly-written anti-cheat software.
