So what do you get banned by when it comes to 3rd software?

    I am considering to use an Unofficial version of reshade that removes the feature of depth buffer prevention, This is not affecting the gameplay, but instead allows the Reshade itself to detect the depth of the game, the meshes and stuff being able to apply ray tracing, mxao etc 3D effects into the screen

    Would this be a bannable offense? or is this considered as fine, Im not sure how this works wether if someone gets banned for being detected or reported?

    NOTE!

    The reason they have depth buffer flickering is to prevent exploits in online, although its highly unlikely with the chance of 0% that it you can possibly cheat with post processing depth effects as it does not really allow you to do much other than detecting the depth / meshes in the screen

    I know he's OKed Reshade in the past, but I'm not sure about this version you've found that's apparently fallen off the back of a truck...LOL

    Reshade is not a problem as we understand it. (If somehow it could eventually be used for nefarious purposes, it could become a problem later on.)

    So would it be fine to use a 3rd software with depth buffer enabled? it would allow effects such as Ambient Occlusion, Screen Space Reflection and Raytracing Etc-

    Well I asked someone on Discord why the MXAO was flickering, he implied that is due to Reshade detecting online, so at is does that it has a feature preventing people from using depth buffer as an exploit, but visually it would be rather impossible to cheat, due to not affecting gameplay and only the screen aka visuals

    DCUO's pvp and pve with their client screen it does not play a big factor into the competitive or PVP/PVE side of DCUO, they only have this feature on reshade casually due to

    1. Games like CSGO, Insurgency and Cod it make sense that depth buffer used to detect meshes can be used as an advantage to look through the wall, or entirely make every single mesh black or white, while the players/enemies turn out to be a different color, In night fall scenarios or foggy ones

    2. PUBG Banned Reshade because it was being used as an Visual advantage, allowing people to see other players from far distances better, which counted as a cheat.

    Thats why they have this feature, most likely only meant for first person shooter games along third person shooters, but overall there isn't much a depth buffer can do to DCUO, as I mentioned it only detects the meshes that you can put graphical effects on
