#CROSSHAIR SCREEN OVERLAY PS2#

They way I see it, if I use Mumble (specifically stated here as 'expressly allowed') to overlay information regarding where the exact center of my screen is located then this should be acceptable as the location of the exact center of my screen is seperate from Planetside 2 itself being that this can be determined outside of Planetside 2 and remains stable regardless of the run state of Planetside 2. Though, it would seem pretty ridiculous for SOE to say 'Nope, no crosshair overlays or we will ban the account you have dumped countless hours and/or money into' since it would seem the likely response would be 'f*ck off then, I'll just use my Sharpie like its the 90s and the end result will be the same anyway'.ДЄnyone else want to help me out as I interpret the following: Judging by Higby's comments defending the sights on reddit seems to give this impression.

Somehow I really doubt it because here is the thing- it is impossible for them to know whether you have placed a physical overlay on your screen (e.g. Somewhat surprisingly, a rep did actually respond a few times but (less surprisingly) did not ever provide an answer. Unfortunately, here is a thread that was started back in December explicitly asking for a developer to provide an answer. Matt Higby and Adam Clegg both posted in that thread, and did not comment on crosshair overlays, which were being discussed openly. How are you going to enforce this? A lot of people do this, especially after that reddit thread got tons of views. If so, is sticking a piece of tape on your monitor centre basically a hardware-based exploit? So does a static crosshair overlay count as a third party program which affects gameplay, and is therefore not allowed? In situations where you would normally be relying only on your own estimation to find the centre of the screen, you have a nice crosshair you can use instead of the sight waggling all over the place. Having an overlay to display information to the user not related to Planetside 2 itself is fine.' 'As a clarification, since some players have asked, Mumble, Teamspeak, Fraps, and of course Steam, which all use overlays, are expressly allowed. 'The most simple guidance here is do not use third party programs which change the Planetside 2 gameplay in any way unless it has been specifically cleared by SOE.' are allowed, so long as they don't show information 'related to PS2': I want to ask two questions: is a crosshair overlay going to get me banned if I use one? Overlays like Steam Mumble, TS, etc. Hi, I have a couple of questions about whether crosshair overlays are allowed.
