Isn't overwolf from teamspeak and is just used to communicate in game like how discord does its overlay? How would overwolf speedhack then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not an ingame one, but an external one. Crosshair shaders is a grey area if u are aware. Also battleye doesnt allow certain overlays.

Havn't bothered checking again, did they make new ones or something? Edited December 5, 2018 by Noob_Guardian 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But BattleEye does detect..... just not 100% because no anti cheat does detect 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NO, Battleye says usage of macro and autohotkey is not bannable in other games like R6 and pubg, bt its bannable in apb. There is a player who asked in social dist "hey why do i get kicked for autohotkey?" If you're wondering whether he might have downloaded ahk, the answer is no. He was using the software which came along with his razer mice. So it varies from game to game. Edited December 5, 2018 by Defibrillator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havn't bothered checking again, did they make new ones or something? All G1 did was disallow discussion on the forums. They took no action in preventing custom shaders. Overwolf uses an overlay injection similar to Steam, discord, sweetfx and other apps, which is different from the in game shaders. Battleye can be configured to block it, but I don't think it is atm. You also would not get banned. Battleye would prevent APB from launching and display a message informing the user which file was blocked. 6 hours ago, Defibrillator said: NO, Battleye says usage of macro and autohotkey is not bannable in other games like R6 and pubg, bt its bannable in apb.

He was using the software which came along with his razer mice. So it varies from game to game. Most anti-cheats block autohotkey by default. It's stupid since it's very useful outside of gaming, like with CAD software that requires you to press 5 keys to do something. Gaming device software is whitelisted, which most can do the same thing AHK does. Edited December 5, 2018 by MrsHappyPenguin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The overlay i had used got "removed" from overwolf and I couldnt access it on my computer, and couldn't find it anymore when i looked it up on overwolf. Something saying about removed by owner/overwolf due to gaming company something or other action. Edited December 6, 2018 by Noob_Guardian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoped_420 0 Posted December 6, 2018 Hey there, I'm Tony from Overwolf. Although MrsHappyPenguin summed up pretty accurately (which makes us happy, thank you penguin! :) ), I'd like to share some notes for the topic. First, like MrsHappyPenguin said, Overwolf does inject an overlay which works differently from cross shaders. Second, Overwolf is approved and will not get you banned. If you'd like to read why, please visit:https://medium.com/overwolf/is-overwolf-going-to-get-me-banned-1ae8a666f66d TL;DR As avid gamers ourselves, we are working closely with game publishers to ensure that every app we publish is aligned with their ToS and their 3rd party policies. Thanks for the read Game on! Tony from Overwolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
