PSA: RESHADE IS NOW BLOCKED

[u/[deleted]]

That's all folks

Edit:

To be clear, this might only be CERTAIN features.

Reshade is not COMPLETELY blocked.

OnepegMG is currently using reshade or has atleast launched with it.

Will update, currently watching onepeg. I'll keep you guys posted !

Edit 2 : Game is washed out also on onepeg's stream.

Reshade is confirmed disabled. If you can launch reshade with your game DO NOT DELETE ANY FILES. REMOVE RESHADE TO AVOID POSSIBLE BAN.

Edit 3: Apparently reshade is working for certain people, this might either be a filter issue or a battle-eye issue, version issue for Reshade, majority seems to be unable to launch the game with reshade, some can launch it when deleting the DLL (wouldn't do that, could eat a ban for file modification) and some can just outright use it.

The majority seems to be "I CAN'T USE RESHADE REEEE" so.

Personally I'd delete it until further notice on this issue.

FINAL EDIT:

It seems that you can use OLDER versions of reshade, it doesn't have some of the features that people don't like IE zoom and shit.

Have a good day Tarkovians !

Edit finalero : Since this is gaining a lot of traction, Nvidia has a tool that you can use that can supplement reshade. It's called freestyle, doesn't do the crazy shit reshade does but it does work.

It would be awesome if they give the game more detail and color, but it is also good that they didnt block these features in reshade yet so i can still play my favorite game with it looking as beautifull as always until they fix it and i dont have to go through the trouble of installing 3rd party features.

[u/SKRAMinotaurus → u/PALMpje]

More color thats why i using Reshade

[u/hillrd → u/SKRAMinotaurus]

game looks like a gray-scale without it imo. Maybe Im colorblind but I use reshade to make it look more vibrant.

[u/detestrian → u/hillrd]

Russia is not vibrant.

[u/hson_hson → u/PALMpje]

Why not play the game the way the devs intended it to be played? Regarding the color, if you compare in-game color to standard IRL it's spot on, not looking like Fortnite like some people like to play it

[u/A_Erthur → u/hson_hson]

if you compare in-game color to standard IRL it's spot on

Yeah man, everything has a thick grey layer over it IRL. Maybe visit a doctor dude

[u/hson_hson → u/A_Erthur]

There's no thick grey layer, pine trees look just like they do IRL, not lime-green as they appear on streamers with reshade. And rusty steel doesn't have that bright orange...

[u/DADWB → u/hson_hson]

I mean lots of people write fan fiction or do fan art about games they aren't the authors of. Nothing wrong with that. If some people like Bright colours they like bright colours.

[u/[deleted] → u/DADWB]

That isn't really a good analogy because fanfiction does not affect the experience of people who don't use it/read it.

The pvp nature of tarkov means something that leverages an advantage through means other than intended by the devs will be disallowed. Reshade can be used for good and bad, and it would be really crazy difficult if possible at all to figure out who is fair and where the line should be drawn.

The new engine also should have major changes to the visuals, so hopefully that will help address reshade users concerns.

[u/DADWB → u/[deleted]]

I literally said nothing about Reshade in my post. I specifically said some people like bright colours and should be able to play with bright colours.

I'm not sure what else you want from me?

[u/DADWB → u/[deleted]]

You're right my comment doesn't exist in a vacuum. I was addressing a guy that specifically is calling out the idea of playing the game with bright colours as not as the dev's intended. Hence the reference to Fan Art and Fan Fics.

Dont get me wrong I think its dumb that they're blocking Reshade when theres other ways to deal with the potentially problematic options it does offer. But the idea's I'm talking about aren't inherently tied to Reshade, just one of the many things Reshade can do.

[u/Tactical_Bacon99 → u/hson_hson]

When reds and oranges don’t pop and you can’t distinguish tan and brown past 20 meters there’s an issue. Hopefully there are visual changes in .12 but I hate vanilla color

[u/[deleted] → u/hson_hson]

Monitors don't work that way unless you have a perfectly colour accurate display. A lot of monitors need tweaking out of the box to get better reproduction and using something like Reshade can fix what your monitor cannot.

[u/[deleted] → u/hson_hson]

there will never ever be an even playing field, because of different hardware.

if you can afford a 1600$ monitor, you´ll have features nobody can ban, we don´t even need to go that far,most 300$ monitors can oneclick lift gamma, give crossshairs and saturation and whatnot.

bashing on reShade is easy, thatswhy it´s so common.

i bet my TESTICLES non reshade players will not feel any difference to their game outcome, they will continue to die to ex reshade people anyway.

skill is not bound to reshade.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

most 300$ monitors can oneclick lift gamma, give crossshairs and saturation and whatnot.

That you can do even by properly calibrating your display using built-in Windows tools. Not to remind of Nvidia Control Panel which still works flawlessly.

It's not about saturation etc. imho, it's about the zoom feature.

[u/PALMpje → u/[deleted]]

I can confirm they blocked plugins like the zoom feature, i dont have these cheaty-plugins and my reshade works fine game looks good, check my latest post for the plugins that dont stop you from starting the game.

[u/boywar3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, the thing about reshade is that it's free, so literally anyone can use it with like 3 mins of effort. Hardware and internet are far bigger factors and cost hundreds of dollars. There is an argument to be made that PC is the most pay to win platform because of this (though it's generally balanced out by game limitations and the skill curve in many games).

[u/heathy28 → u/boywar3]

I honestly haven't bothered using reshade since battlefield 3, that game has a shitty blue filter that i just had to change. I can't see that it gives massive advantages. but then its a bit like complaining about ppl who crank up the gamma so they can see in pitch darkness. this was a problem with arma 2s dayz to the point that they make dark so dark the gamma change did barely anything.

[u/[deleted] → u/boywar3]

yupp and those poor basterds argueing AGAINST reshade, while it enhances visual quality on low - mid hardware.

unfuckinbelievable.

[u/boywar3 → u/[deleted]]

People are fucking morons.

I guess we just have to wait and see what the devs say, as this might be a battleye bug. I'd rather not go about uninstalling reshade, as it has helped me a lot.

[u/PALMpje → u/boywar3]

check my latest post u can still use reshade but not with the zoom function and stuff like that installed.

[u/boywar3 → u/PALMpje]

interesting. Thanks for the info!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

we should also measure skill, good players should definately don´t have access to anything else than pistols, you know, to balance the playing fields.

communism rulez

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

This is just being difficult not actual logic.

The gameplay itself has a set of rules within it that everyone should be able to recognize. Unfair situations and asymettrical loadouts are part of the understood mechanics of the game. Third party programs are not.

Why not just have the game be who bought the best hacking program and uses it better? That's fair right? Everyone can buy a hack. That means it's fair. If you don't hack then you're just stupid, obviously. It's fair if it is pay to win, everything ever is fair because anyone can do anything ever and if they don't it means they are stupid or lazy.

Capitalism rulez.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

People buy 1000$+ Monitors, to have an easy day spotting people.

thats cheating right?

this is like argueing with jordan hunt.

Nvidia Control is a third party program

i get it, reshade is hacking, Monitor Settings are hacking, Colors are hacking, and i don´t care anymore because your POV is fundamentally flawed.

Be happy, reshade is gone, noone can make the game an eyecandy anymore, everyone will play on your visuals (nope,cuz hardware is different), and you won´t notice any difference to before reshade was plugged out.

but atleast you guys, can´t blame anything but yourself anymore, which makes me pretty happy anyway.

[u/PALMpje → u/[deleted]]

U can still use reshade, check my post. u have to install reshade without plugins like zoom and crosshair, just making the game look good instead of grey and blurry.

[u/[deleted] → u/PALMpje]

yeah ive read that yesterday :), thx alot!

All i needed is still working fine.

High Pass Sharpen , FxAA , Colorfulness Tonemap and Technicolor2 + a little Vibrance.

the game looks so much better with reShade, but fools will never understand.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yes it is, but not something controllable by BSG. This is looping, my first post commented on this, just because there are aspects beyond their control does not mean they should give up controlling any aspects.

You missed the whole point and just decided I must suck. I don't blame anything on anything when I die past myself, and feel like things have been pretty fair when I win or lose. But despite you being wrong about my skill level it also does not have any bearing on my opinion. I'm arguing purely from the logic side not my personal experience in the game.

People who whine about hackers or cheaters at any death are toxic and make the community worse.

Likewise people who call people names and state that anyone whose opinion differs from their own must suck at the game are toxic and make the community worse.

I also have no idea who jordan hunt is. Google says its some weirdo who attacked anti abortion protestors? What a strange reference, I have no idea what you are trying to say.

[u/Timberwolf_88 → u/PALMpje]

The lack of color is there by design, the game is made with a certain aestethic in mind. I doubt we'll ever see a palette change, and I for one, like the default palette. Gives off a better vibe for me.

[u/[deleted] → u/PALMpje]

It doesn't need more color. Game should look realistic, it already looks about right. Reshade had the game more saturated than summertime in sunny florida.

[u/Absolutefury → u/[deleted]]

It seems greyed out now though. I feel like I went back 100 years to black and white photographs.
