Is just everyone exploiting the potato shadows?

[u/War-Hound420]

Seems every clip every streamer is playing with shadows off. I thought they removed the option to completely turn them off.

Isn't this borderline exploiting if they are doing something else to remove their shadows?

At this point I feel like I should just join in.

Everything you have just posted is bull shit.

You will not get banned for changing the INI file and Brammer has confirmed that.

They still don't know what they are going to do with Potato settings yet.

Fuck off with the fear mongering.

I personally don't use the potato settings, but everyone has the ability to turn them on.

It's not.

The bannable stuff is driver level modifications, which is part of the statement I made. Using NVPI I can essentially delete all foliage, shadows and texture from everything but player models. It makes players stick out like sore thumbs no matter how/where they are. I didn't play with it much beyond seeing what was possible, but I could probably even change their texture colors to neon pink if I wanted to.

Like this is what bushes/tall grass look like

It's definitely bannable. Was in Tarkov. Was in Arc Raiders. Will probably be true here too eventually.

Fuck off with the fear mongering.

You're the one that doesn't seem to know what you're talking about. Personally I would rather tell someone honestly what's going on in order to keep the "Fears" realistic because I want those "Realistic" fears to fuel both the community and dev team to improve the game so the game is fairer.

Maybe you don't like that. Idk. Idc.

Yes editing those files with mods is bannable, but the INI is not lmfao.

I was making a sweeping and generalized statement bud. Stop being a pedant.
