Songbearer 72 Posted June 11, 2018 Nothing offiicial on the matter. Once the engine upgrade (that looks like an actual possibility nowadays!) is in place and the dust has settled, maybe the devs could add some official shader presets to the game, but for now - like a lot of APB over the last four years - you'll just have to rely on old footage and memories to get your fix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frosi 722 Posted June 11, 2018 They said that they don't approve of shaders as its a slippery slope to go down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KyoukiDotExe 231 Posted June 11, 2018 Hopefully they will eventually say what their stance on it is, and what they are going to do against it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonBlack 59 Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Just don't use them.. you can use the advanced launcher though with similar effects. Edited June 11, 2018 by DonBlack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infinito 100 Posted June 11, 2018 I think you're best off contacting support for specific cases. It'll take a bit, but you'll get an official answer that you can always use if you would get banned! Good luck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SelttikS 224 Posted June 11, 2018 Think they are more wondering if it will be punished. Try it! Post a video and make sure you say exactly what you are doing and see what happens! Do it for SCIENCE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magik 184 Posted June 11, 2018 I'd stay away from shaders, as if you do use them, and ever record footage or screenshots of your game, and if they're posted publicly, you could potentially get banned for it. Not to mention they had to screen the advanced launcher to make sure it doesn't modify anything they don't want you to modify. As well as confirming it works with BattlEye. Â Try seeing when they're going to implement the engine changes, and upgrades to visuals (hopefully) that they take suggestions for shaders to be 'officially' added. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
