Gshade has a whole lot more features than Reshade, including ability to work with other versions of directx. Gshade is what I use for Guild Wars 2 to make it look good, along side the dx12 proxy. Arenanet is ok with it, it would be against amazon games code of conduct though unless they put out an official “it’s ok, thumbs up” on it.
I tried using it and it didn’t work either. AGS turning out to be the Apple of game developers.
I’m using Reshade right now to make it look like the guy in the video.
When it makes you pick a game, make sure you click browse and select New World from the bin64 folder
Sounds exactly the same as Reshade.
Is it against the code of conduct? It’s not really doing anything. It’s like a filter more than anything.
If it does go against it, I’ll remove it immediately.
Gshade has depth buffers that Reshade does not have, however Gshade is a custom build of Reshade with more features.
It is against the code of conduct as written, that is my only concern. It certaily does not give you any kind of advantage, totally harmless in my opinion, however wtihout an official word from amazon saying allowed or not allowed I personally would not chance it, even more so with people being banned for the overwolf minimap in the last few days.
They only thing I think Amazon might say would be an advantage is you could likely remove the thick fog in areas like Reekwater to see farther.
I don’t think anyone is getting banned for the minimap. They said it’s fine so long as it doesn’t change in the way it works.
Do you know the exact wording of the terms Reshade and Gshade would be breaking? I got good enough reading comprehension to let you know if it does or not.
Your information is inaccurate, they have said it is NOT fine because it shows the locations of nodes and chests etc. They clearly said that where that information is pulled from the game files or a website it goes beyond just player position and therefore is not allowed. Since that announcement several people have been banned for using it.
[Notice] Overwolf Addons
This doesn’t say the minimap isn’t allowed.
It clearly does, it says if it shows node locations or safe areas where it is pulled from a website or the game client it is not allowed, it says if your addon is ONLY using character position it is allowed. The minimap shows all the information from the new world map website (which is not an amazon owned site), therefore it goes directly against what is stated in the link I posted. It is very clear they said it 3 times why are people so hard headed.
It doesn’t say the minimap isn’t allowed.
If the minimap comes in the form of a client-controlled addon and solely uses the position of the player in the world, it’s fine. If the functionality integrates other web sites to determine the location of nodes, paths, or safe/unsafe areas, then it’s not ok.
It does, because the minimap does those things highlighted, what is wrong with people on these forums it is like you smoked too much legalized weed.
It’s really simple.
Is the minimap using the position of the player only? Yes? ok
Is it using a website to determine the data listed? Yes? Not ok.
No? Then it’s ok.
Now figure out how the minimap works.
They didn’t say we can’t use it though. They only said we can’t use addons that do those things. If the addon doesn’t do them, then it’s ok to use it.
A minimap would typically show you a portion of the map and your location on said map. As far as I know, that’s all a barebones minimap does.
but they did say you cant use it because the minimap does exactly what it says it cant do in the highlighted portion for god sakes what is wrong with your comprehension.
They never said that’s what it does. They said if it does that, you can’t use it.
I am sorry maybe you don’t understand that the minimap shows the location of all nodes, and chests and more.
Does it? Cause none of the pictures I’ve seen show any of this. Only a barebones minimap.
Look at key features, the first one is direct violation of what is not allowed.
