Would I be banned for using ReShade for Dead By Daylight?

[Lynn]

Basing me off on a discussion on the official dead by daylight forum, they said ReShade is allowed. Source: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/4765/reshade

Ummm i woulnd't do that. Any th ird party program that gives you an advantage is bannable. This game uses an anti cheat program that runs w/ it. EAC would detect it.

I do understand why. I hate the heck out of the games anti aliasing and id like to add a nice sharpening filter of my own, but the real issue is the lighting changes can actually remove features added to keep the game fair. Adding darkness to prevent easy line of sight, etc etc.

Of course none of this matter because people can easily use their own monitors hardware configuration to change the lighting contrast, etc etc. However, i wouldn't advise using reshade.

List of bannable offenses - Permanent ban

Achievement hacks
Using 3rd party software to tamper with Dead by Daylight achievements in any way. Unlocking, locking, clearing them off – all of this is prohibited.

Hacking in-game exclusives/Legacy skins
Acquiring any kind of in-game skin a player isn’t supposed to have.
Legacy cutoff happened on November 24th, 2016. If player has received Legacy skins anytime after that, it is considered hacking (3rd party software/expanding Legacy cutoff time/loading up a savefile, etc.)
Video of this person in a hacked skin (and you opening the profile to ensure it’s theirs) is mandatory.

Botting
Killer spawns and stays at one place, hitting air the whole time. He doesn’t move or change the hit pattern even if gates are opened and some of the Survivors are already gone. Video of the match (showing the tally screen is crucial) is mandatory.

Hacked progress
Using 3rd party software or any other way to hack amount of BP in the game. Or loading up any savefile except from your own backup (any savefile – from previously banned account, from a friend, your savefile from BETA, etc.)

Threats
Excessive threats (DOX threats, life threats, disclosing private information, etc.)

Other hacks
Using 3rd party software or other tools to gain any kind of unfair advantage wasn’t intended by the game, except if they have been whitelisted by us. Heavy proof and a video recording is mandatory.

If you wish to appeal your permanent ban, please contact the support team at https://support.deadbydaylight.com/




RESHADE is a third party program.

Discord is a third party program too which gives you an unfair advantage. Should we ban people for using it?

ReShade is bannable iirc, but something like what Nvidia has... can't remember the name though, is fine to use. DbD is listed as one of their partners with it. Freestyle maybe? If it's hardware enabled, it's undetectable by the anti-cheat. Software, such as ReShade, will throw up the red flag though. Similar to adjusting your monitor's settings with the buttons versus using a program to do it for you.

Discord should be bannable, but with SWF it will never be. Too many other games with Teamspeak or similar. Many people have Discord up while playing, but not necessarily for talking during a match. Would need an in-game chat in some fashion, which iirc they've said they'll never do.

Short: no its not bannable, it's whitelisted by EAC.
Don't know why people try always to convince it's bannable.. Probably because they can't disappear as claudette anymore lol

ReShade isn't bannable? I thought people got banned for using it before... hmmm. Well thanks for the info on that. Appreciated. :)

funny how people ignore discord as a third party program that you can tell survivors where the killer is.

No, you will not be banned for the use of ReShade, it is whitelisted by EAC.
