Guild Wars 2

Is using a shader injector like http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=368880 a bannable offense?

Using it for few weeks now .. So i think it is pretty save to use..
It’s a massive boost as well to the graphics.. game colors are looking pretty wasted out without it.

Those are just directx libraries to enhance antialiasing and colors, not an addon bannable.

If you also read the Author’s Note (Check your link). Pretty sure it’s safe. Also using it.

“It does not modify any game files either on disk or in memory.
Instead it uses a custom Direct3D runtime dll which the most DirectX games will call.”

If you wanna get technical then no it is not a bannable offense.

very interesting… does anyone have any comparisons using it with gw2??

It’s much less noticeable in screenshots, and more noticeable in-game. It’s not as obvious as you think it will be.

No it’s not bannable. But dont expect an official responce about it. I just recently switched over to SweetFX from using the SMAA Injector. And I was using that since BWE2.

Game looks kitten awesome with this, thank u so much Best thing is, it makes 0 impact on performance, i tryed it with borderlands 2 aswell, the difference it is remarcable. Thank u so much for this

It makes 0FPS difference if you’re using a decent GPU. GW2 is mainly CPU-bottlenecked. You can see an increase in GPu usage though, but with my GTX 670, that’s a 3-4% increase in GPU utilization for a total of 50-60% at best lol.

From what I read it have this working, you must run in 32bit? is that true? I really dont want to reinstall the game or anything. Is there a workaround?

GW2 is a 32bit application Doesn’t matter if you install it on a x64 OS, if the executable is 32 bit then it runs as a 32bit software. But you do have to run it as administrator for it to work, otherwise your client crashes.
