Hunters, As mentioned in our recent Developer Update post, we have implemented a change within EAC that prevents any user attempting to play Hunt: Showdown while ReShade is active on their system. This change was made because the most recent updates to ReShade include features granting significant gameplay advantage and as such, the use of ReShade is now considered an exploit under the Terms of Service and Code of Conduct.
Finally! This won’t fix all cheating, but this is an excellent step in the right direction.
Yup. Some monitors can do some pretty fancy tricks to make darkness not as dark, but the crazy zoomed in iron sights and things reshade got into were just wayyy too far.
Hopefully between this and the event ending in a few days we see a big drop in the cheater population.
Oh man not just that. ESP and aim hacks are a thing. Not much games can do to combat those without using privacy-invasive AI software, unfortunately.
Couldn’t play without Gamma cranked up to the max: Three bright windows, and an older monitor model with only 250 nits. But damn, why do people use external software?
