Great for if you have a netbook and want to play on the go ('cos you look awesome and get all da bitches playing shooters in public).
[QUOTE=The mouse;20265748]wouldn't swift shader get you VAC banned as it changes the .dll's[/QUOTE] A similar thing happened with a HL mod called Paranoia, it used a few custom dlls to edit the way it renders and from what I remember from people bitching about it, you got VAC banned if you played it.

[QUOTE=Max of S2D;20272841]haven't got banned with Swiftshader so far, I had already tried it months ago[/QUOTE] You do know VAC bans can sometimes take longer than a few months, I'd still wait until a dev replies or someone emails them over this.
This now doesn't help me at all. I think the problem is, it's only for most PC's with low RAM. Some PCs have good RAM but shitty graphics card.
VAC bans for certain things that hook onto hl2.exe- Swiftshader does NOT do that.
I'll try to get some screenies if all goes well. This may make me able to play at a decent FPS. If it does, I will love you forever. EDIT: Just for comparison, I normally get 10-15 FPS. I'll post my FPS using this shortly after.
I'm uploading a video of this stuff in action. Also, FYI, I was wrong- put swiftshader .dll in your Team Fortress 2 directory.
Well, this has given me a boost from 10-15 FPS to 20-30 FPS. That's a sign that I need a new laptop. Anyway, the screenshots.

[QUOTE=Equidistratic;20274275]VAC bans for certain things that hook onto hl2.exe- Swiftshader does NOT do that.[/QUOTE] You missed out that VAC also looks for mischievous dlls within the game folder, I know some wont trigger it but you can never be sure.

[QUOTE=Rooster Assassin;20276468]I doubt with all this I can play this on a netbook? The netbook can handle CS 1.6 :|[/QUOTE] If it can play original CS, then definitely.
<3 Thanks. Even though I get about 40-50 FPS, when I look over the field and it's got people/sentries, well, a lot of them, I drop to about 10-15 FPS. Now I don't. :buddy:
Can Swiftshader be used for other games?
Definitely

I'm thinking of getting the old school pack but I'm wondering if I really want to do it. Any suggestions? Agree for yes. Disagree for no.

[QUOTE=Swiket;20279711]Can Swiftshader be used for other games?[/QUOTE] Technically speaking it can be used on ANYTHING that renders stuff in 3D. I used it to made Oblivion mods when I was on a DX8 computer.
