Yeah. The error is caused by duplicating the same line. You'll see in your dayz.cfg there are 2 postFx. Just erase one of them and your game should work again.

Just delete the whole file. The game generates a new one

Juuuuust in case.....it might be safer to rename the existing file, add "-old" to the name, rather than deleting it. So that if by some remote chance you need that info later, it's not lost. Just a general file management safety strategy that, once in a blue moon, will save you an incredible hassle to recover info you could have saved harmlessly and so easily.

All the necessary data in that file is generated in its BEST configuration by the game. In normal running conditions, you need not touch that file... and should not.
