I would guess at no, seeing as it doesn't uninstall cleanly even the last I heard.
But that's just a guess.

I tried asking in the ESL discord about the MarkC mouse fix even as that's popular, and just easily reversible registry settings, but was unable to get a response.

Doubt it, I know some tournament quake champ players are using it though to good effect.

So they use it online because it's hard to detect? What do they do if they go to LAN? Just use in-game accel instead? Seems like a bad idea to create a situation where you're forced to get used to different settings when it counts most...

I don't think they use it to cheat because you can't really classify this software as a cheat as such; and for some time, champs did not have accel so there was a legitimate purpose.

I would never call someone who uses it a cheat or refuse to play them (based on my current-limited understanding of the software), but I would say they are naive for using it if they have aspirations of playing on LAN.

I would like to see some kind of LAN STANDARD introduced to gaming which agrees on things like OS, reg hacks, and software like this.

Yeah, it's definitely not a cheat. It does the same thing the in-game accel does, just a little better.
And yes, if you plan on going to LANs using the driver really isn't a great idea. The in-game option isn't that different, but still different enough to mess up your aim if you have to switch to it after practicing with povohat's all the time.

There definitely should be some kind of whitelist for all tournaments for stuff like this. I guess the reason there isn't is a) laziness because it would take some effort to check out all those things and make sure they really are legit and can't be used/modified for cheating and b) in the case of povohat's and probably other programs aswell it would mean to admit that the in-game option isn't all that great.

BTW: What reg hacks do you mean? MarkC's mouse fix?

yeah mark c, I was running that (was the first thing I do on every pc install) but I have just undone it.

Although povohat's program works great, It seems a bit hacky, and I really don't want to get banned or someshit that will take months to sort out. I decided to setup in-game rather, and it's basically the same as my old settings now. Pity there is no way to set custom m_pitch and m_yaw, or even a ratio, as I have played with a higher pitch for over 10 years, I'll give it a pass as it's still in beta, but really, it's literally a text box that needs to be added.

Just so many settings missing, why didn't they just show them quakelive's menu settings and say "copy that", would probably be done in a few days.

And I got my settings nice now, but can't find a game, well that isn't 200 ping on EU servers.

I played with slightly higher pitch too. They mentioned they were going to add it before accel was added to the game: http://www.esreality.com/post/2873836/ask-the-devs-answers/

I guess they changed their minds.

This makes me think they won't let you use it.

It gives me the impression it is only drivers you have to install to make your mouse work.

It's a shame you need to use a third party hack in order to do any of this.

This really should be something built into the official mouse drivers. Imagine an adjustable acceleration curve for each axis which you could fine tune to get the perfect feeling.

Then again acceleration has bit of a bad reputation so maybe mouse manufacturers are afraid of it?

According to ESL even the markc reg fix is not allowed.
I get the feeling a LOT of players are not playing within the rules!

I always figured it was probably barred by rule 7.1.5 but as people keep asking me I was hoping for specific clarification, do you have a source on that?

yes it was in the discord channel for ESL it was a reply to your question. yesterday.

Its basically nothing but the OS/Mouse drivers/In game stuff which I am guessing is making a lot players breaking rules.
Even if it not really a rule breaker. Why go there.

For those wanting to revert back to stock on windows 7, xp, vista, this is the file you need to go back. It just takes the X & Y curves back to default.

lol, ta, must have missed it when I checked back, or it just came up even later :)

QC is supposed to be using DirectInput according to the devs, so the MarkC fix should not be needed or have any effect.

Hope so, but I'm back to stock reg now anyway.

is monitor 144hz allowed or i am advantaged too much from who have 60hz? ;)

That's fine. Some rich fuck on 240hz is laughing at you now anyway:>

quake champions is shit right now and does not reach 240 fps so its useless ;)

It is quite stable at 80fps at 4K at ultra, so should go to 240fps at 1080p at lower settings easily with gtx1080.

during normal gameplay im only getting ~190-200fps with my gtx 1080 & i7 4790k overclocked.

OK, good to know!

120 or 144hz is fine. 60hz though is kinda shit :)
