[quote=“Ghosthree3;39422”][quote=“laudatoryLunch;39419”]Every change to get an advantage to other players is considered cheating tho.
“But you can set your game to potato, too” “Yeah, and I can get an aimbot like others, too”
I think those almost-textureless walls are a real advantage. They see the red glare around enemies much easier since you can modify the game to keep there but not high-res textures. Game shouldn’t be allowing this, it’s like a whitewall hack for Counter-strike.[/quote]
The difference is hacks are 3rd party, game configs are not.[/quote]
If I edit game files to act like a chams wallhack, it wouldn’t be third-party either. Just modified game-files, right? Wouldn’t you say it’s cheating if someone would have grey walls and bright red/blue characters?
the two best waifus in the game: a montage
Since you can’t edit game files to do that without hacking them I’d say there’s a pretty clear difference. Configs are plain text and MEANT to be edited by users. Game files are not.

You need to stop using outrageous examples that aren’t even in the same ballpark as being analogous with editing an ini file.
“What if you could edit the ini to be invulnerable and to fly!!! Would that be ok with you???”
But you can’t. So stop.

What he said, that’s called modding, and unless the game is TF2 or CS GO, heck you can’t even do that with GO anymore, you can’t get it done.
Unless the devs provide the tools you can’t make any mods, Dirty Bomb is such an example. All you can do is modify your graphics, which honestly I’ve found little benefit in doing.
The game simply needs a stronger processor, no two ways about it. If you’re running the game on a laptop, I feel your pain. But if you have a desktop guys…might wanna use that next tax refund to upgrade your shit.

You didn’t say anything about a difference, you’ve said about active third-party-program-hacks.
Wasn’t there a thread where a guy asked how activating heal-station-light on potato settings? Since you even can do this means you can make the red-enemy-glare even better visible on textureless walls. Which is objectively an advantage against a player who has full textures, which always meant cheating. There should be better optimization overall and not such “selfmade advantages”.

Sounds like you need to play on a console, because PCs are pretty much full of these arbitrary advantages.
Like a mouse with custom dpi, and a high polling rate.
Or a headset with the best speakers imaginable.
Or a graphics card with a high overclock and a ton of vram
This is all par for the course for PC, so, learn to play, it’s the best advice I can give. Because all of that stuff means nothing if you can’t aim at all to begin with.
Are you okay with mouse macros to reduce…like recoil in shooting games? Or monitors with built-in radar based on sounds? Yeah, that’s a thing. “Little PC advantages” too?

Or turbo buttons on fight sticks? Or sound files in TF2 that allow you to change the Spy’s decloak sound? Or a Keyboard to Controller converter that allows you to play a console game like Destiny with a keyboard and mouse?
Yea, that shit is out there, but leagues DO ban it, and they DO check to see if that stuff is there.
That doesn’t mean it’s fair game, but to sit there and say other people might use it because the game runs like shit on a 2-3 years old computer or more, in my case mine was from 2009, that’s pretty arrogant of you.
Nothing is that simple, so stop acting as if you know enough to make that call.
Right now, Splash has locked down most of what they can in the config file.
You can change the workload of the game to make it run smoother, smaller res textures, models with a lot less vertices and lines, but even so, it’ll only go so far.
If you have a 60 hz monitor, you won’t notice a difference, but on a 144 hz monitor, like my Asus VG248QE, you do notice a huge difference. Players seem to skip, your mouse feels like it’s lagging for no reason whatsoever, and worst of all, when firefights get intense the game will slow down a lot, and then suddenly you’re dead. Because the computer simply can not keep up.
So, in a perfect world, yes, the game would be better optimized. But this isn’t a perfect world or a perfect game, and locking down the config so people can’t “hack”, is a pretty terrible excuse. And honestly, it’s an excuse used only by people who look for any reason to say why they are getting killed a lot, other than they need to suck it up and learn how to play correctly.
Not once in my years of playing did I think I was so good to think if I died people were hacking, it was always some subtle detail in my playstyle that I could do better. So I did the research.
Like how much dpi do I really need? Do I really need a high sens? When people get into a gunfight where do they strafe, to their left or right? There’s all kinds of little things that add up to your effectiveness, how well the game runs is one of them. So if someone does modify the config to get a smoother frame rate…tough shit, not everyone can afford a new rig.
Yea I should probably stop, just get annoyed way too easily
why cant we just go back to talking about waifus and the low quality kills in the montage
it might be because u have that 144 monitor (good monitor btw) that ur card has to work harder etc but im sure u know that
here is a nice review of that monitor with a guy saying if 60Hz is enuf and if it matters to upgrade:
