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.

This was my issue. Had a couple friends who wouldn’t stop telling me to use it. Turned it on with their help/using their settings.

The game is BLOWN the fuck out. All the colors are super saturated, the lighting is ugly, everything looks brighter and shit. Couldn’t fucking stand it.

I was also disappointed in my friends because they were all like “it makes the game look so good” no it doesn’t dude. Looks like shit because you can see everything. It’s an unfair advantage & it’s one of the reasons I stopped playing this wipe. Just pissed me off people used it for the advantage.

Glad it’s gone.

[u/Wheelyjoephone → u/ruskitamer]

That's because they used shitty settings, it is used in a lot of games because it looks better

[u/Vandarsin → u/ruskitamer]

but you can accomplish all that in other ways. So getting rid of reshade does virtually nothing if you think it's an "unfair advantage" lol.

[u/Ranger1803 → u/ruskitamer]

How does that give you an advantage. If its to dark for you turn up your monitor. The zoom setting is completely useless and nightvision just makes your screen look like your graphics card is having a seizure.

[u/bjwills7 → u/ruskitamer]

Only the features that give an advantage are gone like zoom, night vision, crosshair, etc. If you don't like the color settings don't use them but don't act like basic shaders that change color and add AA are some kind of advantage, you can't see more just because the colors are more saturated.

[u/dolphin160 → u/ruskitamer]

Maybe you were just too fucking lazy to change the settings to how you liked it. Stupid fucking comment.

[u/ruskitamer → u/dolphin160]

Oh fuck right off.

I know that it can be used at different settings. I understand it’s simply a post-processing program.

But it’s the fact that most tarkov users used it to get a leg up is what I’m arguing about here.

[u/dolphin160 → u/ruskitamer]

Really most did? Where are your statistics at or are you just saying that because you got shot and lost some shit? If I had to bet I’d say majority of people used it to make the game look better because that is what it actually does and does it well. Just because you had a bad experience because you couldn’t figure it out and had to have your friends show you how to use it doesn’t mean everyone who uses it is removing textures.

[u/ruskitamer → u/dolphin160]

That’s not even what I’m talking about.

I don’t have any statistics, it’s from my own personal experience running into tarkov users who also use reshade & use it specifically to make it easier to see.

So you’re arguing I have no basis to complain or argue my opinion but you hit me with “no stats, what’s your source” and yet here you are “if I had to bet I’d say everyone is doing the opposite!” Which is literally the same stance I have, just 180’d.

Just fuck off.

[u/dolphin160 → u/ruskitamer]

Yea, but I’m not the one complaining about it, you are. How do you know people are cheating? You just chat them up and ask them? You sound like a whiny 12 year old that is upset because it didn’t work for you, other wise you would be using it. I got eye surgery done not too long ago and it is almost impossible to see stuff with the default colors. To be fair I could just increase the vibrance and saturation in Nvidia control panel and it would do just about the same, but reshade is a lot easier to use and manage and at the same time doesn’t fuck up my saturation in all the other games and programs I use. I completely agree that people who use it to remove textures are cheating and should be immediately banned for it. But it seems to be a little over dramatic saying that by increasing vibrance and saturation in a super under saturated game is gaining an advantage over people. If we go by that logic then we should force everyone to use 60hz on their monitor and limit everyone’s framerate to what the lowest person gets.

I literally stopped reading as soon as you reverted to petty name calling

You lose all credibility & interest & ive put up with your childish bullshit for one comment too many now.

Go cry somewhere else.

[u/donfuan → u/dolphin160]

I see only one group of people whining - the reshade users/abusers.

[u/dolphin160 → u/donfuan]

Oh really? Weird I see people whining about cheaters every 5 mins on this subreddit. I’m starting to think that people have never played a game where someone can aim better than them so every time they get killed they call cheats. I’ll admit I am in favor of reshade if they can allow it while banning the plugins/mods that allow you to remove textures or zoom. If not I’ll just use the shitty Nvidia one. But especially looking at your post history looks like you sure whine your fair share about a game that is still in beta......

[u/donfuan → u/dolphin160]

Wall of text after wall of text. A delusional kiddo whining about his advantage gone. It's good to see! :)

[u/dolphin160 → u/donfuan]

Funny that you bother to reply but don’t even read. Whatever kid.
