Is changing the graphics to such extent bannable?

tbh I only wanted to remove the input lag.. I have 7700k + 1080 all setings on low and Im still experiencing input lag when playing on full HD.. PLEASE HELP?

Input lagg can have many causes.

Are you using USB 3.0 +, monitor refresh rate , up-to-date software.

I don't think changing your graphical setting would change that.

Reinstalled my windows 2 days ago. 144Hz, yes - USB 2x 3.0 + 2x 2.0 and I dont have much software on my PC right now.

Should be ban-worthy for sure. Changing settings beyond ranges tested and allowed by the developers is not something that should be ever allowed. It's not that far from changing textures to high-contrast ones or removing textures altogether - clearly bannable offenses by default, unless stated otherwise by the developers.

Except that you're not actually changing anything beyond the render quality.

Changing it's contrast or color would be completely changing it. Because your replacing something in the game with something else, something Nvidia Inspector doesn't do.

If the game engine had an option to completely remove textures, that doesn't mean you could use that option if developers didn't actually implement that option in game's interface. If the game does not allow setting the shadows to 'disabled' and you could still do that through a scripts or externally modifying game settings - it's still cheating and should be bannable. Options intended to be used are implemented in game menu. If a good option is missing, well too bad, you can't use it.

That might be your opinion, but that's not how things work.

The Nvidia control panel has many settings that the game doesn't. By your logic, those should be bannable, and that is why that's not how they work. Nvidia Inspector doesn't modify any game files, it's also not something used to give a specific advantage in most games. Some games it could, but based on appearance, this isn't one of those.

Giving me the old Quake 3 feels, r_picmip anyone?

Hey there.

I would say yes, This is a bannable offence.

You change settings graphical settings that change the environment of the game.

You hide bushes and other assets that give you a advantage in the game.

Stay away from external programs that do these things.

If you want to change your graphical settings please.
