Can I use Reshade with Homecoming? I dont want to get banned

[BlueMonday]

As title states, Im a new player, I want to try this game but I would like to use reshade, is it allowed?, thank you!.

If you're talking about Reshade filters like from this thread on reddit: 

 

... that *sort* of thing has no restriction here, but I'm not a GM nor a staffer or dev. You're applying graphics shaders to your own experience and not affecting the experience of other players.

 

So long as you're not using a 3rd party tool to cheat or abuse bugs, it's not really frowned upon. We actually already have a pretty wide selection of appearance and sound mods that do things like annotate the in-game maps, modify the way your character looks, or sounds, or even disables textures that you find problematic.  These are installable by manually placing files in your filesystem or with a tool developed by players called City Mod Installer: 

 

Now all that said, there is ZERO official support for those tools, and with a tool like Reshade, you're pretty much gonna be on your own as far as help is concerned, I'm afraid. You MIGHT be able to find someone else who uses it in our 'Tools, Utilities, and Downloads' subforum, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

 

Welcome to Homecoming. I hope you enjoy your time here!

Oh I see, yes, Im talking about the filters, so If is not a banable offense, I will give a try. I just want to enhance the visuals a bit to improve my experience, if I can't make it work, I'll try the mod installer. thank you very much for you answer!

Happy to help! You may be interested in knowing that we have a single experimental 'Comic Book' shader already in our advanced graphics options. I don't care for it, but a lot of folks really like it.

Note, that the cell shader still has some bugs associated with it.   (It was introduced late on live)

I think base editing and a couple other tasks may cause the client to crash.

YES! I've been using ReShade in CoH for a really long time, even back on live when it was SweetFX. It works great, really improves the visuals. Never had any issues until recently, If you have a Radeon card trying to use AFMF will crash the Adrenaline app.

Im trying cell shader and so far so good, it looks great, also a couple of extra Reshade effects. I have an Nvidida card so I should be fine, my brother is having an issue with reshade tho but not related to the game, thank you guys.
