Warning for Ultra widescreen Mod after I disabled it
|
I have a couple points I want to give feedback on regarding ultra widescreen.
I just got a warning for using "cheats" when I tried to log into PoE 2. I'm assuming this is because I've used the ultra widescreen mod. But this concerns me as I received the warning after I had actually disabled it as doing so was a requirement for participating in the race event on March 2nd, and I received the warning on March 6th even though I had not turned it back on after the race. Look. I understand why you don't want modifications to the game files. But you have to also in turn understand why someone would want to experience your game without black boxes on the sides of their monitor. I did NOT do this to cheat, I did this because it looks better. I'm assuming the reason you don't want people to use this mod is entirely because of the modification of the game files and not because seeing more of the screen provides an unfair advantage. Because the latter is completely ridiculous. So PLEASE implement this in your game so it's possible to select aspect ratios in the options for ultra wide screens. Until then I will not be turning the mod back on, and I will be continuing to enjoy your game despite the black boxes on the sides as I am a massive fan of the game your creating. However I find the combination of not having ultra widescreen supported by your game AND SIMULTANEOUSLY considering using a mod that "fixes" this unacceptable. So until you either implement ultra widescreen or allow the use of this mod I will abstain from supporting your game further financially. Dernier bump le 18 mars 2025 11:19:05

" They used to -- they actually removed it on purpose because it lets you "see things offscreen" and in their words "cheat". They consider wide screen a cheat. You may be breaking TOS, as POE does not and never has supported mods. Be mindful you don't get account banned. EDIT: With GGG use mods with extreme risk, expect to get banned eventually/caught and your account locked forever. They will not help you. Dernière édition par Rakie1337#5746, le 6 mars 2025 10:00:54

just got the warning. playing 32:9 is now considered as "maphack or bot".
not interested in "races" and not interested playing a actually non competitive game like its 2010. 0.1.1f is a complete downgrade & ridiculous. |

At least they are warning people now. They used to just straight ban you and never respond to any questions about why.

" i found out there is an ultrawidefix in january IN THIS forum, here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3646639 actually i was trying to find a fix for the resolution problem after an update, guess it was 0.1.1d which completeley messed up the map in endgame and making it unplayable. no one was stating its against TOS. if an aspect ratio resolution fix - nearly every modern game offers out of the box - is against TOS, i wonder what overlays like the overwolf overlay and exiled exchange 2 and all the other stuff is. i dont use these, i dont know if its against TOS but every streamer uses them. and - sorry - i started playing poe in december, i dont know what happened a few years in the past. ok got the popup today, deleted the fix, its the way it is now. |

"Then inform yourself before blindly downloading non-official "fixes", putting them into your game folder, altering the game client. It's common sense and applies to every game, not just PoE. Dernière édition par Ulsarek#7159, le 6 mars 2025 14:19:17

" POE has too much potential to cheat -- mod are not and will not EVER be alowed. There is a few scripts and other lite programs that DONT break TOS -- but they are extremely few and far between, and if you get a warning you must uninstall all, or you will banned permanently and they won't even take your emails/calls nothing. They literally just tell you to fuck off and buy new account stuff. |

I have received similar message today! I use the widescreen mod. Its actually so I dont create burn in! Crazy that modern game like this doesnt come with 32:9 ratio.
GGG please reconsider this decision! I have removed the mod as of now. Dernière édition par Andrewelite#7785, le 6 mars 2025 16:11:30

It's pretty recently that I learned about the widescreen fix. I started being interested in speed running PoE 2 when GGG announced their race events - and it just so happens that a lot of the speed runners are using that mod.
Which means a couple things: #1. The speed running community does NOT consider widescreen a cheat. #2. If they decided to ban me for it retrospectively then they would also hilariously have to ban the guy that got 1st place in their 1st race event as he has 2 World Records using that mod. Obviously I thought it was fine to use since speed runners were using it and I consider it as fixing something that should have been in the game out of the box. Now that I know I will not be using it until GGG either decide to allow the mod or implement widescreen in their game themselves. But I would also like GGG to know that NOT doing so is in violation of my ToS (Terms of Support) as a player and I will not be supporting their game monetarily as long as they hold such a ridiculous opinion. |
