Hi Folks,
recently we had a big discussion about reshade and if its allowed.
Little fact round (I am pro GShade because the game looks so much better with it):
Mentioning this in the novice chat leaded to a cruxification.
The consent at the end was Hvinire has no say it just his opinion as long as Yoshida himself does not say "it is allowed" its worthless in their view and if fortnite bans for it, it should be banned in FF14...
So please is there any official statement apart from the quote from 2013?
Cheers thank you

recently we had a big discussion about reshade and if its allowed.
Little fact round (I am pro GShade because the game looks so much better with it):
- reShade injects itself into directX to alter and add shaders to the render pipeline
- reShade is not altering or analysing any game files, it operates after the game is passed to the video card - therefore as against the TOS as nVidia Graphic driver or Discord overlay.
- nVidia is using an alternate version of reshade in their driver to enhance the view
- Some RTS games ban for actively using reShade because it is an unfair advantage (i.e. Fortnite) - some shader can sharpen the picture so that you can react faster
- 2013 Robert "Hvinire" Peeler (Community rep) wrote: Utilizing such a tool would not violate any agreements customers have with Square Enix, and we don't plan on doing anything to restrict users from accessing it.
