Guild Wars 2

I’m interested in trying Razer Game Booster – http://www.razerzone.com/gamebooster – as it is intended to close background processes to improve performance and includes recording software, but I want to make sure that it’s not against rules?

The software should not be against rules imo, but I seen a post on here indicating one of the 3rd party chat programs that included recording software got someone banned for it. So I want to be safe.

No,you can use it,it doesnt touch the gw2 client in any way at all.It puts your PC in a “boost” state..simply deactivating unnecessary background processes,nothing more.

It also can record screen, and I believe has a GUI on screen for FPS/etc similar to Fraps.

The reason I ask is because in a post I’ve read somewhere here on the forums, someone mentioned it was one of the Steam-type apps which recording causing a ban (forgot which), where someone from ANet responded that they can not be responsible for problems with 3rd party programs.

Is there any way to be sure?

Nope, but they are useless if ur computer is good enough, they are quite useful on much older rigs.

Well I’m still running a dual-core, and with quads becoming more necessary for gaming it definitely helps this system. Recently PS2 is unplayable without it but playable with, so the program does help =)

But my question is more referring to the on screen GUI/screen recording feature.

all it is, is snake oil.

True , I have the original iobit version and it makes little if no difference

Yes, its snake oil, go here instead and do the tweaked settings:

Been using this for a long time and works great, I’ve seen no adverse effects with the tweaked setting. And its not another program running in the background…
