Will LOD bias changer for my video card get me vac banned?

http://www.mpgh.net/forum/368-call-d...-lod-bias.html

I am not planning to do this on a cod game(which is what is used as an example). I am interested to setting it to a positive value on tf2 (since the console cmd for this was removed.)

The only thing that concerns me is that i found this on a hacker forum which worries me about vac.

if anyone could answer it would be greatly appreciated.

really? it seems like its just a plugin for my drivers. I wish i could know for sure i wont get banned for it. I really like making my games look like quake 1.

Does anyone use something similar to this that could tell me?

No. I play COD and TF2 with 15 LOD Bias and everything is fine. It's not a plugin, it's driver setting like AA or AS... You cann't be banned by VAC using this.

The fact alone that it is originating from a cheater website should be deterrent enough against using.

Thanks for the answer. Did you use this program or a similar one or is it on your driver files? i had to dl a file to make mine work.

Are you simply saying that since its a driver plugin and not a .dll or modified game.exe for my steamapps folder that i will not be banned?

I was googling how to change lod bias, not browsing a cheat website lmao. noticed it was a shady hack website afterwards

Personally, I'd steer clear of anything from a hack site. Sure the program itself may be legit, but it may have been altered to have any kind of malware, keyboard loggers, etc because the people that do that are the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥bags who populate hack sites.

Yep, I used old version of nVidia inspector.
Changing LOD bias in this programs will trigger changes in nvdrsdb0.bin (or something like that), file located in %WIN_PATH%/System32 (default C:\WINDOWS\system32).
Just to note: chaning Antialising setting or other driver setting will also changes that file.

IT IS NOT A PLUGIN!

And it's not modifiying game's .exe or .dll or whatever.
Do not worry about VAC, it's safe to use.

nVidia Inspector is legit program.
