I tried to search but couldn’t find reliable source for this, so I’d hope that some blues will answer for this:
Are ReShade or SweetFX bannable or not? They can be used to overlay the game render and enhance colors etc. It doesn’t alter the game files, but it will probably alter rendering by accessng drivers and/or memory.
Blizzard haven’t said one way or another about this, I don’t think I heard of anyone being banned for using it but that doesn’t say it won’t happen.
I saw one blue post earlier, and it said that they don’t know about the ReShade but if it uses injection it might be bannable. In my understanding ReShade uses injection to the drivers or somekind of hook. It DOES NOT change any models, textures or game files. Mainly only slighty alters colors or contrast.
That’s why I’m so concerned, even it does not modify anything, it’s still a hook/injector and Blizzard might not like that.
I, however, do recall seeing a massive flamewar because some people got banned for it, and they thought it was unfair. Thats going back about 2 maybe 3 years now though,
Just a point to note, Blizzard has never and will never confirm if something is bannable or not. They simply say “If you have to ask, then maybe you shouldn’t be doing it.”

Seems like it is that way, pretty sad but I can understand why.
