I was looking for ways to improve my fps on apex when I saw that you can disable all shadows by changing "setting.csm_enabled" "1"
"setting.csm_coverage" "1" values on saved games/respawn/apex/videoconfig can you get banned for this???
@ImDetonator_ you can only fiddle with the in game settings, is a good rule not to get yourself banned.
@Popa2caps I'm not sure that quoting imperial hal gives you the good to go from ea.
I'm not using any form of scare tactics, just quoting from the ea tos, which is fairly clear and accurate, as against your hal twitter rumor, which is why you are asking a mod to help you out.
BTW changing files is not new to me as I was probably using computers before you were born š
What part of the EA terms of service states one can't change the video config file again? So yes, I do consider what you're doing is a scare tastic.
A) You have no proof of anyone ever getting banned, but use it as it's defence why not to do it.
B) You have no direct knowledge of the ecosystem involved (being PC).
The video config file is in the documents folder just so it's easily accessible for the user. Every single Apex Legends optimization video on YouTube uses this same file to gain resources for the user.
I've been building computers since the early 2000's with the start of the Intel core 2 duo. I've also had a Steam account since it was created, never banned (yes my steam account is over 16 years old, with not one strike).
The point of the Tweet was to show the official support in the ALGS rule book.
The code to the section is AB8.3
Ctrl+F AB8.3
AB8.3. Game Files Competitors may only add or edit the following Game files:
ā local.cfg
ā autoexec.cfg
ā videoconfig.txt
Competitors may only add or edit the following lines in the files specified above:
ā fps_max
ā mat_letterbox_aspect_goal
ā mat_letterbox_aspect_threshold
ā "setting.csm_enabled" "0"
I don't need to prove that point, as getting info on bans is impossible, as you well know.
I've been programming since the '80' s starting on a dragon 32 and built my own pc in the' 90's so I have a modicum of direct knowledge of the ecosystem involved, being pc.
What algs, or hals tweet, has to do with ordinary players playing pubs and ranked, I don't know. Your assertion that direct consent to algs competitors, I have not read the algs rules, follows over to ordinary players of pubs and ranked is baseless.
The EA tos is clear as set out above for you:
When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:
Modify any file or any other part of the EA Service that EA does not specifically authorize you to modify.
While algs competitors appear, from your post, to have been given specific authorisation to edit, ordinary players have not. QED
@DankToliet I wouldn't quote anyone without backing official info and links. š
@oskariGOD they appear to be twittering about online tournament rules.
Just saying These files are technically not in apex game files they are stored somewhere completely separately so using common sense easy anti cheat couldn't detect it especially if you're like me and have them in to separate SSDs. I've also been using this for over 1 year and only brought this up 4 months ago, I have not gotten one ban or warning in the game.
bro it's a config file. You will not have a chance of getting banned
