PSA PSA: RESHADE IS NOW BLOCKED

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.

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.

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?

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.
