SweetFx bannable or safe?

[Myrken]

Bottom line is if i didnt get suspended for using radeonpro then i dont know why. I dont cheat lol i just want the game to look good. Next up i want an email with a specific reason (program used) why, i dont think thats asking alot. Ive never been banned in any game ive ever played and its pretty fn rediculous imo reguardless of what the trolls on here think.

I got banned for a third party program and spent hours trying to find out what it was. The GM who banned me said

"Again we will not disclose what program you were actioned for, and while you are assuming it was for SweetFX, which we have never once said this is what you were actioned for, we also have not said it wasn't. We will not be disclosing any information that will assist you in determining what program you were actioned for, and if we were to confirm one that it was not, this would assist you in limiting the number of programs it could possibly be."

Apparently to them telling you what program they banned you for will help hackers figure out a way around their security.
Which is ridiculous as hackers writing hacks usually aren't running ts3/50 other programs and playing so this policy only hurts the casual gamer who usually has many programs up during gaming. In short the hacker would by default have a better idea what he was banned for than the average consumer.

I will not state the GM's name as that would be disrespectful as he was performing his job as he was trained to do.
However his response due to the policy they have in place totally threw me for a loop.

my response was this

"That's like a cop giving you a ticket for something he cant say and the court just charging you for it and saying you can "appeal" but you really cant because whatever it is you did we cant tell you. Then telling you not do do whatever it was you did again. which might i add still leaves you clueless with no idea what you did O_o

and this for another example

Help me out here If you told a child you couldn't explain why you were spanking them would that not defeat its purpose in its entirety? Especially if to them you just started doing it out of the blue. Also If you were to do this who would really look as if they were the one doing something wrong. It wouldn't be the child would it.

Either way banning without a description of what for is very confusing. O_o\

I've read about some ppl getting suspended after using it

Which makes me believe it was something else as it was in my personal case. And currently they wont say what they ban for so how are you 100% sure it was sweetfx they were suspended for? As of now its a rumor until an official post.

BTW: i did find out what it was but not through their GM and in my case I'm 100% sure it wasn't sweetfx.

Editing my angry post.

Just got an email with an apology because aparently many player that did nothing were also caught up in the bans makes me feel better and hopefully you guys get that email too.

and more and more, again and again

if you want a official answer it will be don't use it, that's all

because if they said it's ok and game crash people gonna blame the game devs, it will increase the support works

they said no third party, so no fraps, xfire, mumble, teamspeak, ati ccc, nvidia cpanel, antivirus/firewall , because they don't want to have to deal with incompatibility

and i repeat myselft i case of a ban it's a temp ban of 24h, no big deal here

if you don't like this play on ps3 or xbox, pc community is always about modding, enhancing

take a look at the farcry3 forum pc section, ultra high res textures, sweetfx, tons of mod, nobody ask if it's ok, because if it wasn't they will have close all the threads

sweetfx doesn"t give your more advantage than changing the settings of your screen over others players
you won't run faster or aim better, most of our settings darker the game so it's the opposite lol hard to aim in the dark

I spent money in the online store, not because i wanted or needed anything but because i wanted to help the game succeed. Not saying im quiting or anything dumb like that but you have received your last dime from me. Not a threat but an idea for anyone else pissed about this nonsense. Dont release games with halfass graphic settings and act confused when intelligent gamers try to improve them.

I dunno bout you but if i get stuck watching bad Pr0n I look for a better alternative and if i find one that makes it look way better I'm gonna use it no matter what anyone says. lulz that's just me tho and as the EULA states they can take the game away from me but just like pr0n I can find more and better quality elsewhere! They just lose my money is all.

lol couldn't help but make that comparison one of those you just gotta type it moments.

That's basically it they will never come out and say it is okay or not okay. If they said it's okay then someone could come up with an add on or something for it that allowed some hack then it would be too hard for them to then go back and say you can't use it.

If they keep it at don't ask don't tell then they can at their leisure decide to ban whoever they may want or need to for any reason they see fit.

[ninjafada]

don't dream they won't ever said it's ok
just imagine they say go use it, they will have to deal with bugs, cheaters using home made injectors + shaders saying they are not cheating
they have enough work to do

Basically the same as any other MMO nothing new no need to mute the mic cause like you just stated they can suspend for any reason even if someone is just having a bad day and decides to take it out on others
