Is Reshade permissible to use on Project 1999?

[enesis]

The website for Reshade is https://reshade.me/

The program alters graphics shader settings? Not entirely sure how it would interact with the client, or if it is even compatible. I wanted to see if it would get me in trouble before I began tinkering around. I saw one other post referencing Sweetfx which I think is a similar program.

Thank you!

If it alters the game in order to give you an advantage over other players then no it isn't allowed.

It looks like it's just a "make old games look better" program, more akin to the enhanced re-texturing project. As such I'd expect that it would be allowed.

I just recently learned about it and it is for aesthetic purposes generally speaking. Some of these types of modifications are available through a graphics cards' native "control panel" programs (e.g., overriding a program's native anti-aliasing settings) but Reshade offers a variety of extra functions. I'm not sure that it would provide an advantage but I think it may do something to the client to access the shaders. I don't really know enough about the technical processes involved.

Here is another post from about a year ago https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=246796 that seems to suggest the guy had already tried running reshade (or some aspect of it)

I understand that alterations to the client that yield advantages are not permissible but what about a graphics-oriented alteration like this? My concern is that "post-processing injection" interacts with the client in a way that would not be allowed - I do not think the end-product, prettier screenshots, would otherwise be cause for concern. It may be comparable to the WinEQ2 program but I do not use that personally so I am not really sure.

It also appears that people have done this with older versions of the program - are you aware of any instances where reshade or other graphics modifications flagged the P99 "monitoring" system and caused issues?

Edit: Here is a similar discussion from 2013 that appears to use an "injection" based process as well: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...hlight=texture

So, has there been an official verdict on Reshade.me? Because I love using this program to make games look better. Especially old ones!

[Cyph]

Bumping this thread (given the recent thread about ReShade); is it permitted?

[Faxi]

I'd like to know this as well. I used to use SweetFX but i cant live without ReShade now. Even official GeForce drivers include ReShade sooooo...

[Malakoff]

Bumping this because there doesn't seem to be an official answer and Reshade can simulate scanlines kinda like a CRT monitor, and I'd love to have that on Green/Teal.
Also as Faxi has mentioned, Geforce drivers are officially supporting Reshade now.
