Destiny 2 will prevent popular overlays and capture programs from functioning

"steaming programs" somebody missed an R

Seems a little backwards, considering watching streams will convince people to buy the game
 
Using RivaTuner (as part of MSI Afterburner) has become like second nature for me. It's how I monitor my system to ensure there's nothing unusual going on. I've found and corrected all sorts of issued purely based on not seeing my usual framerates. They might not have been noticeable without the tool. Bad decision in my mind; and it pushes this game well into "maybe on a deep sale" buying list.
 
Oh well, it's not like I was going to have a hope in hell of streaming it once i've maxed it anyway - however blocking comms is a little bit of a take, as that will cripple any of the "raids" as in game messaging was crap in the first one.
 
While I get they need to do something to prevent cheaters and such things I can only feel this will hurt the game, how many preordered that might now want to refund.

Tbh I've not had a good experience with blizzards methods I played a hell of a lot of diablo 3 more than is normal really, but was banned for being a bot. I've never cheated in any game and while they take action to keep things at bay in reality they are so strict that having discord or afterburner or winamp your antivirus firewall open some kind of application that they failed to account for means your a bot.

I had a 2nd account and was on the same PC using the same applications I'd always done and no action taken on that account meaning they even oversight players and make desisions based on nothing other than speculation.

I agree they should take action towards cheating but they should make sure they have there facts straight first, and I can see the torrent of players that will have action taken against them on mass coming with this game it'll will die off really fast in the longer term.

Me personally I'll never go near a blizzard activision game again.
 
Pre-Order cancelled for the pc version.

**Edit**

Refund complete

If it works with Shadowplay then it's no biggie.

The problem for me is that Shadowplay is utter garbage compared to OBS.

The first issue is that it uses more resources so you loose more performance when you encode the stream/recording using the gpu.

The second issue is that the microphone options are lacking any sort of noise gate, filters, effects and more compared to the likes of OBS and Xsplit.

You cannot add the likes of Streamlabs or more than 3 images as a overlay.

All audio is recorded in 1 track rather than being able to put, say the game on track 1, mic on track 2, background music on track 3 and anything else that you may want.

You are limited to 1 webcam, you cannot add more for say 1 for your face, and another for someone else who might be in the room whilst you are recording/streaming if they are involved.

I honestly do not understand how they can think that limiting people to a poor piece of software or paying out money to record/stream is a good thing or even going to make the game any more fair to play.

I have never seen or heard of anyone saying that using the likes of OBS or MSI Afterburner is going to give someone an advantage over someone not using them, especially since they don't have wallhacks or aimbots in them which is what, I honestly believe someone at bungie thinks.

I get that for most people it wouldn't really be an issue but for those of us who wanted to put, up good quality video to youtube or twitch have just basically been told you cannot do it unless you pay money for a capture card and potentially a 2nd pc.

This has proper annoyed me, because I was really looking forward to playing it on the pc but this unless they change it has just killed it on the pc for me, never mind the stupidity of releasing it almost 2 months after the console version making it even harder, for anyone wanting to build a youtube/twitch channel based of the pc version of the game.
 
Are amd drivers have anything to show fps?
I would like to know how the game runs on my furyx when the beta will be available
