I genuinely think that if you alter the game in any way, especially if it gives you an advantage, you are taking a risk and if you get banned, it's fully on you. He knew what he was doing was wrong, so there are no excuses for any of that and the perma ban is fully deserved.
He got a clear warning from the devs that it violated rules. Ban was well deserved. Most people don't get that kind of warning. I've had a false positive ban reversed and there was no warning about what triggered the ban.
@@abysmaljager if reshade creates an advantage thats an issue w the devs. reshade doesnt even do anything deep graphically like custom graphics drivers do which people treat reshade as
Common cheater logic: other people are doing it, so i'm going to as well. What a loser, dev's said not to use it, he told them to F off, kept using it, then doesn't like the repercussions for it. Pathetic.
I don't play rust so I'm not entirely sure what night time looks without filters, but based on his gameplay and the screenshot he seems to me that he's using the depth buffer in his reshade presets, which is not allowed by reshade when multiplayer activity is detected. EAC whitelists reshade, but enabling this effect is deliberate when the default in reshade is to block it. This isn't a simple gamma increase but uses the depth buffer which gives access to a lot of information you shouldn't have just based on colour, so he intentionally worked around this restriction and was knowingly cheating.
in rust night time is hard coded in a way where even changing your monitors hardware settings like gamma and brightness do not change anything. but reshade injects into the game files and allows you to change it, its 100% cheating. night time in rust is PITCH BLACK.
@@JustFishBait so this confirms my theory. well, it doesn't inject into game files, but the depth buffer allows altering the colour based on distance from the player to give a gradual tint to objects, and since it's normally pitch black there's no way to do that based on just colour.
@@JustFishBait no, it doesn't. first, the dll files would be loaded in memory and not altered on the filesystem. but most importantly, reshade works by making graphics library api calls rather than altering the game itself while loading itself either as a library using CreateRemoteThread or by taking advantage of windows dll resolution by having a dll that the game would load be prioritised over system ones, without replacing any game files at all.
@@JustFishBait ehhh just not true tho, people have used nvidia settings which is from literal drivers to see in the dark at night on rust. A lot of monitors still work to my knowledge too. It's also just assuming thats his main goal and intention, that he would primarily use it for night time, which granted, we dont really have evidence explicitly of that.
Face punch stated publicly to not use reshade or use nvidia photo mode because you will be banned and this is scene as cheating. The man ignored this and still used it. Deserved ban.
5:26 honestly, the guy lesterr420 in your chat has no idea what hes talking about, the NVGs in rust are borderline unusable due to the years of nerfs they have received, they have never been good and they are barely used but they still repeatedly get nerfed, they barely let you see, they shrink your vision more than tarkov, they fuck up your vision so badly that you think you are looking at a TV from the 1950s and they even nerfed the flashlight in game too, its drastically worse for no reason... the enemies can see your NVGs and flashlight without using them themselves from farther away than you can see them while using it...
100% agree. I don’t play Rust anymore but this was one of the items that I always viewed as “role-player only” which provided no advantage and that no one would waste their time obtaining let alone using in that slot over anything else.
100% deserved. This guy knew what he was doing. There shouldn't be "warnings" there should only be bans for breaking simple and easy to follow rules. Maybe if he was just good he would have never needed to cheat lol
27k hours and the guy doesn't know how to craft a flashlight or nvls 😂😂 He also plays in a clan so he's not loosing much (loot wise or time wise) if he dies
The thing that bothers me is that he’s been around for a LONG time and ages ago there was a a NVIDIA gamma exploit that did the exact same thing and the devs patched it and said that anything like this was not allowed.
The only time I used reshade was to use the body camera mod on ready or not it was pretty cool but it also made my PC lag a bit more, also does having used it on ready or not make it so that I could possibly get flagged in other games or does it only effect the game you installed it for?
For crossplay, I agree reshade shouldn't be allowed because there are ways of setting it up to give you an advantage, especially in a game like Rust where the nightime gameplay is super dark for a reason and obviously on console reshade cant be added. On PC only however I dont think it should even be cared about as everyone has access to the same free tools.
Using reshade on rust itself will not get you banned using it to see at night will. But honestly it does not matter since people can just change gamma in nvidia control panel or on their monitor to get the same effect. Tac manged to make the situation so much more worse from him lmao, but I still dont think he should be perma banned there is a difference between having better visibility and full on cheating.
People use reshade all the time. Knew someone who would turn dayz into potato mode where all foliage is removed. Have used it a few times to up contrast, didn't know you could use it to give nvg's bit of a advantage to have above others
I just dont know why he was so stubborn about it. He's an incredibly good player, and him not using reshade would've changed absolutely nothing about the quality of his gameplay/content. He threw away his keys to a gold-mine for absolutely nothing.
Even if there was 0 communication from the devs it wouldn't change anything, he did exactly what someone would do to use walls and aimbot, he edited game files for a competitive advantage. He cheated and was lucky to even get a warning about deleting the shaders instead of a ban right then. His content creator status is what prevented the immediate ban and why they gave him a warning
Jesus, after watching the full video, i am 100% against that guy now. He didn't deserve a warning and still got one. He lied multiple times. And to top it off, he just seems entitled as fuck.
He's argument makes no sense, I'm talking about the part and I quote: "In a game where you grind hours to lose everything in seconds too someone you cant see is bullshit and u can't convince me otherwise." Well, no one can see in the a dark as VBS mentioned and other players in the chat. Also, majority, like 80-90% of playerbase does nothing during the night outside exactly because of this, they stay in and do the crafting, base building etc. Only a few goes out in the dark to farm or to raid but thats it. Even on tryhard servers almost everyone stays in their base during the night. You only leave ur base during the night if its a must thing, cause if not the players then the wolfs and bears are going to kill you. He tried to be cocky about it, then he forgot that the devs have upperhand and banned him KEKW.
what if game devs did this crazy shit called making the night brighter like everyone wants? i’ve been watching content on rust for years now and it’s been a steady complaint truly it’s a flaw in their game🤷🏽
It's controversy topic as well on Hunt Showdown, they decide to blacklist ReShade as well. Using the more waterdown version on Nvidia filter is fine, it's only work if the dev allow the SDK to work with the game, otherwise, nope. Unlike ReShade you can force inject, and they not just use color filter, it outright remove necessary render method that break game, and create advantage visual.
I have played rust since launch, been part of the clan scene until it fell in 2021, and got involved in a lot of debates on these kind of "mods". Reshade is a really scummy piece of kit that a lot of servers ban you for if you use it. This content creator has been a hot topic of debate for years, as he's used it for years. Helk (The lead developer for Rust) has told him personally to stop using reshade. A lot of people are very happy that this guy has been banned. He's never really been liked (Like VincentSMG). He is also a member of the OT clan, OT is known for their cheaters. About 5 of their members get banned every week, but they keep buying more accounts. At last, facepunch has stopped taking their sh*t and has banned this player. We are very happy about this, and hope to never see him again.
@@orcristghost3204 Sorry, I misunderstood your previous comment as it was a half sentence and lacked context. I thought you were saying that you were a member of OT.

@@brianm.595 yeah my bad i commented before i saw the whole vid. but still the devs should just say to everyone that reshade is bannable idk why streamers should get preferential treatment
Reshade is Cheating. I watched a guys screen in a rust discord server and while I was watching he was banned. It absolutely highlighted the players at night! Creators like him get such huge egos and feel they can do what they want.
That is the eyact reason, why ReShade was blocked in Tarkov in the first place. There countless players, myself included, who didn´t use ReShade and most of them got send back o the lobby after encountering a ReShade player. Tarkov has atleast warned the players and only blocked the access to the game.
Competitive game will lead to a moving slim gray area of cheating and not cheating. Tacular was warned that the gray area moved, didn't respond accordingly, got banned. Since he was allowed to go for so long in the gray area, I wouldn't have perma-ban until the temporary ban was time passed. I wouldn't have lifted the temp ban either to get it across the seriousness, but also rule out a bad week or two the streamer may be having.
@@brianm.595 If he got banned for the tweet, that is pretty petty. In that case, alistair stooped down to Tacular level and is no better. Alistair should have a thick skin since anti-cheat community has to deal with many of these type of comments. Acting revengeful is unprofessional. Then, again, why should I be surprised by this behavoir in the current internet culture of acting solely on emotion.
thing about this situation is that 90% of people playing in big groups on the servers that he plays on uses the exact same thing but hes the only one who got banned for it, like nearly EVERYBODY else does it but they are completely fine, hes just gone because the devs had a grudge for whatever reason.
21:16 | 2018 reshade back than wasn't what it was when it is now. If you know what your doing on reshade, you can have thermal or remove fog, have extra zoom in button so you can see a lot further, You can change the sky to different colour, remove grass and leaf kinda like Nvdia inspector. Battle eye cant detect it. There a lot things you can used reshade to have massive advantage over a lot people if you know how to set it up yourself. There discords full of filter presets wont be surprised if there one on rust. On GTA people used reshade in Arena side pvp and Roleplayer scene. Fact that he is saying under his belt I have 11 years and 28k hours and I have 200k subs while having massive ego and saying stupid shit like " Imma still used it " I am glad that ego got perma ban bruh. Who gives zero pucks who or what you are. You cheated and spit on DEV face when they legit asked you and other people stop but because he thinks on TOP naahh. Tbh I bet you 75% player base is using it.
Don't really think editing colors and effects is cheating, but yeah it might give a slight advantage if you calibrate colors in a way that make things appear clearer than it should on your side.
i suggest you look into the concept of depth buffer and other more severe/sophisticated means one can manipulate their resultant playstate and get an unfair advantage over a non-modded client before you waffle around more and go, "geee i don't know anything really, but i'm going to cast my doubt and ignorance into the mix, and who knows, maybe someone will think i'm important! 🤓🤓
I use ReShade in SP games to enhance visuals from good to great, but generally i like playing the games as the devs intended.. That's why i rarely play any PvP nowadays, even in GZW people are all about "just crank up that gamma so you don't need those shitty NVGs" - maybe i WANT to be needing the NVGs, maybe i want to get "immersed" in the game rather than to be the "best"? Everybody always about the maximum advantage, compromising their gaming experience just to "rule the server" or whatever reason they have..
This is why you find out who is telling fibs and who is in the right before you issue judgment. Id hate to be an admin doing the job and still getting roasted lmao
dude turn rust hater , used to like the pitch black at night and everyone is indoors typing in chat . that was the whole point of rust . darkness at night
He is talking about Whiteout camo wich is a Full white camo for clothing/armor with no details so it blends in with the snow very well and it is a skin anyone can buy. but facepunch devs are soft these days. they are turning the game into some RP shit changing so much useless stuff to help the RP they do it for these non Rust streamers to play so facepunch can just get their money they are not the same these days
Bro knows... he cheated. Redoing all the shading is cheating. Night time in particular is meant to be difficult. Its one thing to turn up your own gamma or something. Reshade is cheating since rust redid the darkness of night.
so many people think that cheating is only when using cheat software like aimbot and wallhack and such. but no, ANYTHING you do that gives you an unfair advantage is cheating, like reshade or a bug abuse. bc how does one otherwise cheat on cardgames or boardgames in reallife? if cheating is only done through a program. people are idiots he knew exactly that what he was doing was cheating... FAFO
This ban is deserved sry But we wouldnt have this issue if devs would listen to players and not throw them into a blindman sim The dark nights are stupid to a point where they had to add a slight "glow" to a players Vision Now they also gave a stupid fog effect to weaponflashlight aswel.... So i have to say both sides created thier own issue and should think and learn out of this
Reshade is such an amazing program. I use it a lot to make certain games look prettier. Not for a competitive advantage. Sad that this is the world we live in where a great program gets its name smeared through the dirt because people want to see in the dark.
Deserved ban, as deserved as bans for macroses/Nvidia filters/RMT in Tarkov. I also don't understand why my main account is banned in your channel (EscapismTM), I didn't write anything bad.
it doesn't need to be walls or aim bot to be a cheat. If you need to install mods or programs into an online game so you can see better than those who aren't using it, you are cheating.
Tacularr is a *_extremely_* good Rust player and makes really good Rust content sad to see him screwing over other Rust players who aren't using Reshade to see in the dark, he should have gone another route about getting the Rust devs to improve on the visibility during night time. Thought he could just use his popularity to ignore and power through the devs warning, he should have known better the "im going to keep on using it" would just rub the devs the wrong way and up the situation to a full on ban, really disappointed in Tacularrs behaviour he's generally smarter than that.
if he was good he wouldn't need cheats to see people in the night and he wouldn't cry about visibility in a game that has no problems with visibility except at night.
I play rust this ban is actually so dumb. The devs refuse to make night time changes even though the community would love for nights to be playable I don’t blame anyone for adjusting gamma and monitor settings reshape just makes it easier to turn on and off from what I have seen. If you don’t play rust just know when night time hits your basically forced to sit in your base for 15 minutes unless you have night vision goggles which is an expensive to craft item and not worth the effort.
@housemana what’s goofy about it? Devs in the past allowed things like this to be used then changed their mind and ignore the communities cry for change what he did was literally no different than changing your monitor gamma settings or you nvidia controls panel gamma setting. Tell me you aren’t involved in the rust community without telling me. To compare changing gamma to cheating is a disgusting comparison and if the argument is that it’s 3rd party software that gives you an advantage I’ll point out crosshairx is allowed by this same dev team and hip fire in rust has the same accuracy as ads.
Used to run rust a long time ago and used to run a large community back in 2017-2018 and while I agree with you that changing things like brightness or gamma shouldn’t be seen as cheating. I can only agree if it’s a setting you can change in game. Using 3rd party software no matter how innocent the software seems to be should be seen as cheating. What I am seeing from what this software provides is full visibility for nighttime which is stupid as there are different items in the game that let you see in the night such as a torches and flashlights.
I'm just a random guy and truthfully I'm a fan of tacularr. He claims he uses reshade for the audience where tweaks after in editing which if you watch his videos he does say. Also most if not all his videos are about fighting cheaters and getting them banned. Just a random but i think the facts a lacking a lil here. sorry enjoy ur videos though.
Reshade should only be for singleplayer games. dont care if you have 1k or 20k hours. if you use it in a game like rust, tarkov, dayz or hunt showdown. expect a ban, and DONT CRY ABOUT IT. Good bye to your 27k account, you made your bed now lie in it :) ( edit : he also seems like a cheater tbh i dont doubt he had some priv esp )
I get both sides of the argument, but people are just always gonna be like "meh cheats" when reality is reshade just makes the game look better, even the seeing in the dark bit is questionable and MOST PEOPLE can just do that via their monitor, they dont even need reshade. On god most new~er monitors just have features that allow you to switch modes and see in pitch black. (newer as in like post 2016-ish lol) You dont even need a third party for it. Tacularr is a legend in the game, he had one of the best AK Sprays, he was among the top players, just not so much a big creator. Dude has played the game for literally 5+ years of his life (i mean this literally, 26,000 hours) and has never been banned for cheating or anything. I think this situation is dumb in a way and I think people that are crying about reshade and being purists are also dumb. ReShade provides almost 0 benefits that your own hardware can accomplish. People even used Nvidia settings to see at night, it is what it is. You dont need a third party program, your own drivers and even monitor can do it. Stop being cringe weirdos about people wanting to enhance their graphical experience lol. I dont care for it personally but I also know how the program works, as well as understand PC's to a fundamental point that I can tell you, you're full of crap either way lol. Anticheats whitelist the program, Facepunch probably got a bunch of complaints and banned him as an example. It's whatever. Gamedevs arent all knowing and perfect either, but I'll say, regardless, its a dumb ban. People are gonna hurl out that hes a cheater and what not, and tacularr has been a content creator for a long time, hes played with the biggest names in rust, he has 27,000 hours logged on the game, I'm gonna stress this heavily, if he cheated for 27,000 hours without being caught thats a miracle. Dude used to hit 400 meter AK shots with old AK spray, he's probably been reporting 100,000's of times. Ya'll needa chill I understand how you feel about cheaters, but the dudes legit. You can make the argument for seeing at night time but again you could just use your nvidia to do that and be completely undetected. You dont need ReShade to make that happen. Dont drag a dude like that, its just uncool. Voice your frustration about him and 80% of the playerbase using artifical night vision if you want but its just kinda BS to drag him as being "bad" and a "cheater" when he's got more than enough evidence to prove otherwise.
Rust does not banned 1000s people a day thay are chatting out of there are they are horrible at banning people rust pc has the worst cheating problem going 😂😂😂😂😂
Just because reshade isn't "cheat" software doesn't mean you can't use it to cheat. If somebody made a cheat for Rust that let you see much better at night, then would it be cheating? Gaining an advantage over others using prohibited software (by the devs) is cheating.
True but then you get to a point where you need to stop all of it or make it integrated. You can still give yourself mono night vision or high saturate vision using the tarkov colour filters internally. I would argue its still cheating even through theoretically any player can do it if they cared enough or knew about it.
@@nloscFunny thing is, it takes 5 seconds to go to the settings and turn the brightness/gamma all the way up. Thats what I do when playign ARK but that game is full of cheaters that dont get banned which is wack.
i have monitor change make it better for me all i do touch button on my monitor change it so i can see in dark too this monitor is cool so i dont need get third party software reshade in nighttime whatever those guy say ik it seem unfair but oh well buy yourself a monitor there good chance they cant do anything about it

postfx exists in Tarkov though which does pretty much the same thing as ReShade did
There literally night vision in rust. This guy was cheating but doesn’t see it as cheating and got bent out of shape when he was told to stop it
Competitive game will lead to a moving slim gray area of cheating and not cheating. Tacular was warned that the gray area moved, didn't respond accordingly, got banned. Since he was allowed to go for so long in the gray area, I wouldn't have perma-ban until the temporary ban was time passed. I wouldn't have lifted the temp ban either to get it across the seriousness, but also rule out a bad week or two the streamer may be having.
They permad him for the "0 communication" message. Its was a public lie that resulted in them just being done with him. Dont call out alistair...😂
@@brianm.595 If he got banned for the tweet, that is pretty petty. In that case, alistair stooped down to Tacular level and is no better. Alistair should have a thick skin since anti-cheat community has to deal with many of these type of comments. Acting revengeful is unprofessional. Then, again, why should I be surprised by this behavoir in the current internet culture of acting solely on emotion.
thing about this situation is that 90% of people playing in big groups on the servers that he plays on uses the exact same thing but hes the only one who got banned for it, like nearly EVERYBODY else does it but they are completely fine, hes just gone because the devs had a grudge for whatever reason.
21:16 | 2018 reshade back than wasn't what it was when it is now. If you know what your doing on reshade, you can have thermal or remove fog, have extra zoom in button so you can see a lot further, You can change the sky to different colour, remove grass and leaf kinda like Nvdia inspector. Battle eye cant detect it. There a lot things you can used reshade to have massive advantage over a lot people if you know how to set it up yourself. There discords full of filter presets wont be surprised if there one on rust. On GTA people used reshade in Arena side pvp and Roleplayer scene.
Fact that he is saying under his belt I have 11 years and 28k hours and I have 200k subs while having massive ego and saying stupid shit like " Imma still used it " I am glad that ego got perma ban bruh. Who gives zero pucks who or what you are. You cheated and spit on DEV face when they legit asked you and other people stop but because he thinks on TOP naahh. Tbh I bet you 75% player base is using it.
massive ego gets popped and he cant handle it
Don't really think editing colors and effects is cheating, but yeah it might give a slight advantage if you calibrate colors in a way that make things appear clearer than it should on your side.
i suggest you look into the concept of depth buffer and other more severe/sophisticated means one can manipulate their resultant playstate and get an unfair advantage over a non-modded client before you waffle around more and go, "geee i don't know anything really, but i'm going to cast my doubt and ignorance into the mix, and who knows, maybe someone will think i'm important! 🤓🤓
I use ReShade in SP games to enhance visuals from good to great, but generally i like playing the games as the devs intended.. That's why i rarely play any PvP nowadays, even in GZW people are all about "just crank up that gamma so you don't need those shitty NVGs" - maybe i WANT to be needing the NVGs, maybe i want to get "immersed" in the game rather than to be the "best"? Everybody always about the maximum advantage, compromising their gaming experience just to "rule the server" or whatever reason they have..
This is why you find out who is telling fibs and who is in the right before you issue judgment.
Id hate to be an admin doing the job and still getting roasted lmao
dude turn rust hater , used to like the pitch black at night and everyone is indoors typing in chat . that was the whole point of rust . darkness at night
i love the black, oily dark. hate games where the "night time" is just overcast super bright SDR bullsht lmao. im with u there bro
His logic about the camo makes people hard to see during day. Quit being a baby, I'm 47 and half blind and still do just fine in rust!
He is talking about Whiteout camo wich is a Full white camo for clothing/armor with no details so it blends in with the snow very well and it is a skin anyone can buy. but facepunch devs are soft these days. they are turning the game into some RP shit changing so much useless stuff to help the RP they do it for these non Rust streamers to play so facepunch can just get their money they are not the same these days
Streamers when zero tolerance policy also applies to them : 😮😢😢
He behaves like a 12-year-old child who doesn't get his way. Rightful ban, I think.
Bro knows... he cheated. Redoing all the shading is cheating. Night time in particular is meant to be difficult. Its one thing to turn up your own gamma or something. Reshade is cheating since rust redid the darkness of night.
honestly with it being rust devs, there probably lying.
watched further tacularr is def at fault
deserved, the devs warned him to stop, and he didnt and got consquenses
so many people think that cheating is only when using cheat software like aimbot and wallhack and such.
but no, ANYTHING you do that gives you an unfair advantage is cheating, like reshade or a bug abuse.
bc how does one otherwise cheat on cardgames or boardgames in reallife? if cheating is only done through a program. people are idiots
he knew exactly that what he was doing was cheating... FAFO
ofc tac didnt listen because just like typical PVP rust players they cant handle losing.
This ban is deserved sry
But we wouldnt have this issue if devs would listen to players and not throw them into a blindman sim
The dark nights are stupid
to a point where they had to add a slight "glow" to a players Vision
Now they also gave a stupid fog effect to weaponflashlight aswel....
So i have to say both sides created thier own issue
and should think and learn out of this
F around and find out. Then gets caught and now start acting as an victim.. such an stereo type.
In league of legends this thing called “blitz” is not against the rules.
not even remotely the same though
so if he stayed quiet he would've gotten his account back
cheaters make me cringe.
Reshade is such an amazing program. I use it a lot to make certain games look prettier. Not for a competitive advantage. Sad that this is the world we live in where a great program gets its name smeared through the dirt because people want to see in the dark.
27k hours homie what the fuck 😂
My question is how much is that afking lmao
reshade tells you itll get you banned in online games before you even start using it
Yeah. Using it for phasmophobia is ok tho. I used it to make the game much harder.
Shit i have been cranking up gamma in most games that I have played over years, guess that I am cheater now 😂
Deserved ban, as deserved as bans for macroses/Nvidia filters/RMT in Tarkov.
I also don't understand why my main account is banned in your channel (EscapismTM), I didn't write anything bad.
Youre russian, good enough reason to ban you already
Both games have a cheater issue. And both games have overlapping playerbases... starting to see a pattern here!
The difference there is it has anti cheat
if he was warned and continued to use it, justified. rip bozo.
If all people use reshade they stop making money on green skins etc
2:16 he fucked around and found out.
what a self snitch lol he posted all the evidence against his own argument
it doesn't need to be walls or aim bot to be a cheat. If you need to install mods or programs into an online game so you can see better than those who aren't using it, you are cheating.
Actively giving himself night vision. Lol.
I'm old and cant see great. My reactions suck. I play pve because I like rust. This dude is a dirty cheater
Tacularr is a *_extremely_* good Rust player and makes really good Rust content sad to see him screwing over other Rust players who aren't using Reshade to see in the dark, he should have gone another route about getting the Rust devs to improve on the visibility during night time. Thought he could just use his popularity to ignore and power through the devs warning, he should have known better the "im going to keep on using it" would just rub the devs the wrong way and up the situation to a full on ban, really disappointed in Tacularrs behaviour he's generally smarter than that.
if he was good he wouldn't need cheats to see people in the night and he wouldn't cry about visibility in a game that has no problems with visibility except at night.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
I have serious doubts that he was even a good rust player.
Prob been cheating this whole time.
@@xarius1 100% he has cheater mentality.
@@JustFishBait eh that dude used to hit 400 meter ak headshots with precision just to be fair lol. Not new AK either, I'm talking old AK.
maybe he good because he cheating
lol this guy in game "now playing hudsight crosshair overlay" xd
BAN Deserved, grow up! "Noted" 🤯
is like guessing now right? which is a cheater of not.... "sounds like a cheater..."
After that many hours People should get banned anyways .. go touch grass man 😂
Nice excuse...
I play rust this ban is actually so dumb. The devs refuse to make night time changes even though the community would love for nights to be playable I don’t blame anyone for adjusting gamma and monitor settings reshape just makes it easier to turn on and off from what I have seen. If you don’t play rust just know when night time hits your basically forced to sit in your base for 15 minutes unless you have night vision goggles which is an expensive to craft item and not worth the effort.
tell us you're mentally a child still without telling us you're mentally still a child. what a goofy ass logic lol
@housemana what’s goofy about it? Devs in the past allowed things like this to be used then changed their mind and ignore the communities cry for change what he did was literally no different than changing your monitor gamma settings or you nvidia controls panel gamma setting. Tell me you aren’t involved in the rust community without telling me. To compare changing gamma to cheating is a disgusting comparison and if the argument is that it’s 3rd party software that gives you an advantage I’ll point out crosshairx is allowed by this same dev team and hip fire in rust has the same accuracy as ads.
Used to run rust a long time ago and used to run a large community back in 2017-2018 and while I agree with you that changing things like brightness or gamma shouldn’t be seen as cheating. I can only agree if it’s a setting you can change in game. Using 3rd party software no matter how innocent the software seems to be should be seen as cheating. What I am seeing from what this software provides is full visibility for nighttime which is stupid as there are different items in the game that let you see in the night such as a torches and flashlights.
@ during the time you played the game reshade was allowed btw
Jezus bro......
Rust is so much fun
Good. Play vanilla or not at all. lmao
I'm just a random guy and truthfully I'm a fan of tacularr. He claims he uses reshade for the audience where tweaks after in editing which if you watch his videos he does say.
Also most if not all his videos are about fighting cheaters and getting them banned. Just a random but i think the facts a lacking a lil here. sorry enjoy ur videos though.
Reshade should only be for singleplayer games. dont care if you have 1k or 20k hours. if you use it in a game like rust, tarkov, dayz or hunt showdown. expect a ban, and DONT CRY ABOUT IT. Good bye to your 27k account, you made your bed now lie in it :) ( edit : he also seems like a cheater tbh i dont doubt he had some priv esp )
honestly the fact they ,,warned him" Was rly nice from them... he knew its coming and now he kicks around
@@kuramathewolf i just hope they dont revert the ban.
Rust players don't care. We just accept that players do this.. it's not even frowned upon
im sure this guy cares losing his 27k account now though hehe :)
Ya we do , why would we not , you clearly do t play much , cheating cheating , i hope he gets ip banned for this too they need to crack down
@@Kelly-f7r i have 5k hours since 2013.. i've played every era. i mean i have a life too. nobody cares.. cept casuals maybe
I get both sides of the argument, but people are just always gonna be like "meh cheats" when reality is reshade just makes the game look better, even the seeing in the dark bit is questionable and MOST PEOPLE can just do that via their monitor, they dont even need reshade. On god most new~er monitors just have features that allow you to switch modes and see in pitch black. (newer as in like post 2016-ish lol) You dont even need a third party for it. Tacularr is a legend in the game, he had one of the best AK Sprays, he was among the top players, just not so much a big creator. Dude has played the game for literally 5+ years of his life (i mean this literally, 26,000 hours) and has never been banned for cheating or anything. I think this situation is dumb in a way and I think people that are crying about reshade and being purists are also dumb. ReShade provides almost 0 benefits that your own hardware can accomplish. People even used Nvidia settings to see at night, it is what it is. You dont need a third party program, your own drivers and even monitor can do it.
Stop being cringe weirdos about people wanting to enhance their graphical experience lol. I dont care for it personally but I also know how the program works, as well as understand PC's to a fundamental point that I can tell you, you're full of crap either way lol. Anticheats whitelist the program, Facepunch probably got a bunch of complaints and banned him as an example. It's whatever. Gamedevs arent all knowing and perfect either, but I'll say, regardless, its a dumb ban.
People are gonna hurl out that hes a cheater and what not, and tacularr has been a content creator for a long time, hes played with the biggest names in rust, he has 27,000 hours logged on the game, I'm gonna stress this heavily, if he cheated for 27,000 hours without being caught thats a miracle. Dude used to hit 400 meter AK shots with old AK spray, he's probably been reporting 100,000's of times. Ya'll needa chill I understand how you feel about cheaters, but the dudes legit. You can make the argument for seeing at night time but again you could just use your nvidia to do that and be completely undetected. You dont need ReShade to make that happen. Dont drag a dude like that, its just uncool. Voice your frustration about him and 80% of the playerbase using artifical night vision if you want but its just kinda BS to drag him as being "bad" and a "cheater" when he's got more than enough evidence to prove otherwise.
it's only sad that he poured 5 years into such a shit game xD
@@czarthy ??
Let me play the world’s smallest violin for you, simp 😂
Rust does not banned 1000s people a day thay are chatting out of there are they are horrible at banning people rust pc has the worst cheating problem going 😂😂😂😂😂
It's about 500 most days, and a few days are close to 1k
This a drama account now?
hes literally reporting about cheaters like he has done since day 1. and yes using reshade in multiplayer is cheating.
LOL I dont think Reshade is cheating at all.
but since he did ask dev can I use reshade and they reply it agaist TOS, you should had stop using it or you risk get ban
@@lol22964 yeah, ultimately it's the devs and anticheat that decide what's cheating and what's not
Just because reshade isn't "cheat" software doesn't mean you can't use it to cheat. If somebody made a cheat for Rust that let you see much better at night, then would it be cheating? Gaining an advantage over others using prohibited software (by the devs) is cheating.
True but then you get to a point where you need to stop all of it or make it integrated. You can still give yourself mono night vision or high saturate vision using the tarkov colour filters internally. I would argue its still cheating even through theoretically any player can do it if they cared enough or knew about it.
@@nloscFunny thing is, it takes 5 seconds to go to the settings and turn the brightness/gamma all the way up. Thats what I do when playign ARK but that game is full of cheaters that dont get banned which is wack.
i have monitor change make it better for me all i do touch button on my monitor change it so i can see in dark too this monitor is cool so i dont need get third party software reshade in nighttime whatever those guy say ik it seem unfair but oh well buy yourself a monitor there good chance they cant do anything about it
Looks like a scumbag got banned. Good riddance!
I mean it IS cheating if youre using it to see in the dark. But there are much worse cheaters they should be worried about
where there's smoke, there's fire.
