Reshade allowed?

Simple Question:
Is Reshade allowed or can you lose your account if you use it?

I am aware it can be used in multiplayer shooter games to get a advantage, but not in DU tho.
Yet it injects something in the client i think.

In my case i want to use it to spice up graphics and try out a few things for cinematics.

Also search of EQU8 anticheat detects it and / or  considers it a cheat.

ReShade doesn't run in a process. It pretends to be the DirectX or OpenGL driver, so that games load ReShade instead of the actual driver and send all render commands to ReShade. ReShade then passes those commands on to the real driver while adding and modifying some commands to do its thing.

Post-processing under D3D11 happens when the game calls IDXGISwapChain::Present to mark a finished frame.

 

 

It is a quite gray area. Since this is modifying the operating system and not the game itself.

But this gray area only happens on CPU ram.

 

On GPU ram, the game is clearly modified.

 

So I would definitely call it forbidden by that rule.

 

But either NQ or EQU8 should clarify this before start to distribute permanent bans to players.

Very good that you asked, see the following from ReShade's FAQ:

Some Anti-Cheat system could detect ReShade as an untrusted software. It often happens when a new ReShade version is released, waiting to be whitelisted. If so, you have to install an older version or, at worst, uninstall ReShade completely.

 

I only know that with my problem a screenshot was not saved one time. I can't tell you how aggressive it is with such software either.

Thanks for anwsers.
havent find at google anything about the relation between EQU8  and reshade.
I readed the anti cheat FAQ and i think its worth a try since reshade doesnt do anything which prohibited in this thread.

If i get kicked, i just dont use it again.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i did some editing on my answer with some new data.

Yes i agree it might be forbidden by definition.
But so far i did not got kicked.
And since the ban system isnt automated i rely on NQ telling me if i am doing something wrong. :)

I mean.... ReShade does not affect the game at all... and if we go by the measure of reading or modifying game memory, it uh... happens a lot... ... .. .   .......       ..  . . . .civilization intensifies
