Is this new ban on programs and screen managers going to be the same as removing fleet warps?

It seems so..

Seems very knee jerk.. and not though out how far it reaches..

So what was it that caused this desperate attempt to make it fair by banning overlays?
Is ISBoxxer Banned? PLH? Where is the line?

m8... just say its banned, stop fiddling the line


technicly following that OP says, EVERY 3rd party tool is banned

that includes but is not limited to:
EFT
EVEMON
Trading Spreadsheets
Trading tools
and alot more

technicly everything, so thats the reason OP is pretty... *mhe, to not say bullshit*

This ISBoxer crackdown seems to be progressing at the same rate as monetization. Are you attempting to cut down on accounts per player now that you think you can make more money per account through monetization?

Well I'm ready to consolidate ten characters with 1.5 Billion SP into one account if that's the future norm. Let's do this CCP, stop beating around the bush.

Here is an idea. Does your 3rd party software interfere with client code?

If yes, ban.
If no, carry on.

Is a 3rd party software so popular that players are willing to spend real money in addition to subscription? If so, maybe that's the world telling you that your game needs that feature. I think you have listened well when it comes to the game launcher, but window management, in game tools, and in game window arrangements are lacking enough that people are paying a significant amount to fix that for ya.

Thread reopened. I have removed some off topic post, rants, two quoting post, and those quoting them.

CCP knows because you canceled your subscription with them. They don't think it's relevant that the rest of the player base (us) know; it's basically negative publicity, however well deserved.

apparently this is banned, and CCP claims to have a way to 'detect' it.
Don't use windowed mode (or desktop window manager) if you want to avoid being banned.

Every player has access to ISBoxer too. Not every player has financial access to bigger/more monitors.

I would like to direct your attention here:




with ISboxer, you can take those visible pieces of the other clients, and put them on a different part of your screen (not overlaying a different eve client). Like the example, you could also click that part of the screen, and it would focus on that client (just like in the example). The difference, however, is that with ISBoxer, there is no over-laying involved, yet with the example posted, the eve client repositioning, there IS overlay.

Therefore, the outrage is, what the actual hell is bannable, and what is not?

From my understanding, repeater pass-through of videoFX breaks EULA. VideoFX itself, as long as its not used in an overlay, should not break EULA, but it might because ~vagueness~

Then having multiple monitors also breaks EULA, as having videoFX without repeater passthrough is just a cheaper alternative to having every account have its own monitor.

OK archibald, so what you are saying then is that this is OK, but this is not OK? And you think there's a strong enough distinction between the two to warrant the ruling and that CCP will be able to tell the difference?

See, we aren't spreading rumours, were simply pointing out how you can't ban one with the other.

They have, they have mentioned localization, streaming and on reddit to look at this thread. Lol

You are a fool, if you actually read the dev blog you would understand that is not the case, but since you just want to throw rocks you choose to do so without any actual facts.

Don't worry you will catch up eventually.

Please explain how you know for a fact that your example will work as you have stated? Do you know what CCP logs on their side? Are you a CCP employee? Do you have an inside source? No? Then you are just making assumptions.

Can i use ISBoxer for window management as long as i do not broadcast?. Can i get a clear answer on this.

15 pages. still no response from CCP. cool.

Contract your stuff to Chekov Nikahd, he'll know what to do with it.

Another day without dearly needed clarifications.

Well done.

Based on the answers, it sounds like isboxer overlays are still OK if you overlay entire clients (not parts) and do not have clickthrough. So you could probably have a DXNothing window with 8 small tiles to monitor all of them.

If you can only have fun in this MMO by playing with yourself 16 times over its probably better that you unsub your extra accounts bro
