According to the BDF you're a dirty cheater, as there's no way Bungie could have hosed up something in their first major PC release in years that was concurrently developed by a third party studio.

Maybe next time don't cheat!!!!

You should not do anything advanced in this game like record video or use an overlay because...Mr Bungie.

These are the guys who couldn’t get in game chat functions in their game. Please stay as primitive as possible or face the ban!!!!

(Pretty lame if it’s true they’re banning for video recording or whatever is pretty standard in 2017)

They announced ahead of time which recording programs would be whitelisted, Nvidia shadowplay being one of them. I can't remember any others right now though.

All I gotta say is that it's pretty hosed up if Bungie really does have an automated system that can issue irrevocable, permanent bans and they just trust it. There should be a human at the end of that chain looking at an actual picture of the screenbuffer to see what triggered the automated ban before it becomes permanent. PCs have so much poo poo on them these days, it's an effort just to keep it off as a user that cares about that stuff and it's a battle Bungie can't ever win(and keep customers) if they're going about it this way.

I am wondering if they whitelisted a specific version of shadowplay and the upgrade changed it to another minor version number NOT on the whitelist. Automatic software notes that i have a discrepancy and boom, autoban.

From the Ars Technica article discussing this:

quote:

Those who have been banned from Destiny 2 on PC, fairly or unfairly, may find it difficult to protest the move and get their account reinstated. "There are NO options to dispute or overturn account restrictions or bans," Bungie writes on its policies page. "Permanent account bans are only implemented with rigorous checking to ensure that the innocent are not punished alongside the guilty. Bungie does not comment on or discuss individual account restriction or bans."

So yeah... seems pretty lovely.

I believe the best weapons in PC can be a bit different, weapons that put the bullets where you aim will be prefered, perhaps. Uriel may be dependant how how much the aim is hosed up with a mouse. I am not saying Uriel will not be very good, but maybe on the PC the most popular weapons are slightly different. We will discover this soon enough :D

Tei misunderstands...

I use Uriel's for the noise and feel. Yes, shoots great bullets, but more importantly has good umami, texture, mouth feel.

Even on mouse and keyboard without vibrational feedback, feels "Chug"gy. I really like the Chugging.

In the beta, actual fullscreen vs borderless was the fix for me.

Restarting the game resets the degrading performance thing once it starts happening. I don't know if its possible to prevent it.

I actually wrote about this on my blog last night after Obsurveyor noticed all the threads popping up all over the place. According to Bungie's own support rules for Destiny 2 PC though, Nvidia's Shadowplay recording and AMD Relink are the only things allowed for recording in exclusive full screen mode. Then on twitter Bungie's PC lead guy is like that would never happen, its internet bullshit.

It's crazy as hell, I don't see how Bungie can't reverse their ULTRA BAN HAMMER stance if recording apps get you banned. :colbert:

I've never been the slightest bit paranoid about getting a VAC ban for regular and common software running on my computer such as graphics drivers, Discord and streaming software. This has made me slightly worried but more for friends and others than myself. I've always tried to keep overlay crap out of my computer because it has often messed with stuff it shouldn't(Unity, blender, anything with a 3D view that isn't a game).

Like i had said above, i woudn't be suprised if they had whitelisted a specific version of the software, so shadowplay 1.4.11, and during my driver upgrade shadowplay upgraded to 1.4.12. OOPS, not compliant version, get the gently caress out!

I was running shadowplay last night and I'm not banned (yet). I turned it off though just in case.

Also question, is anyone else getting random crashes? I'm not on an AMD CPU and the game crashes every thirty minutes to an hour. It really loving sucks because I have to I keep having to restart missions and poo poo. I can't find any fixes besides running the battle.net app repair util which I've done a couple times or updating drivers which I've also already done.

There is no protesting, Obsurveyor. You cannot repeal or petition the VAC Ban. There is nobody to answer your customer service question here. :cb:

Also, most important tip that probably hasn't been mentioned in the PC thread yet: if RNG gives you a fighting lion, read the perk text super carefully. It looks like a grenade launcher but if you use it like one you will end up super sad.

If you use it like a meat tenderizer prior to punching the poo poo out of everything, it's a lot more fun.

Yes, then they will trail your power level. Basically keep the best gear on your character inventory and decode powerful engrams (you get a handful of those from activities and some from your clan).

I found turning on mouse smoothing fixes it enough so it wont give me a headache, but its still laggy feeling. It works in a pinch if you are in a mission or crucible.
