Does anyone know if RawAccel for mouse acceleration is bannable in D4?
I use it for mouse inversion in Genshin and am not sure if I need to reboot my machine to unload it from my driver every time before I play D4.
If all it is doing is altering the mouse acceleration curve, it isn’t bannable. Regular mouse software can do that as well, to some degree depending on vendor.
Actually, I think it’s always running anyways. Seems rebooting my machine only unloads the acceleration curve from the driver. The driver is always there.
The devs are extremely incompetent, there’s countless been false bans since release.
And yet the real exploiters the ones that share exploit/bug on Twit and utube get reinvited to test material.

There’s no point beating that dead horse. AoZ has already proven Blizzard is open and willing to embrace exploitive gameplay. They took their integrity and tossed it out the window already. All I wanted to understand was if something innocent and unrelated would get me the ban hammer.

That’s probably because you have it set not to start with Windows. The driver would remain but be inactive until activated either manually or by allowing it to start with Windows. It’s the same with USB Overdrive and SteerMouse on macOS.
What I meant is. The RawAccel Driver is loaded, just the curve isn’t there. So if I were to be banned, I’d already have been.
No. They can only ban you for something that directly affects the game. They can’t ban you for what you do on your own PC. They can’t even know that you are running anything like that.
I just want to clarify that this particular sentiment isn’t entirely true. Blizzard bans in waves, not when you’re caught. They do this to avoid tipping off the software programmers as to what caused their software to be detected. You won’t need to worry about your software though because it just changes the mouse acceleration curve like several other mouse control apps can. The only thing that would net a ban is if you’re doing something like using said software to create macros to automate gameplay. But for simple mouse curve handling there is no issue. I used USB Overdrive for two decades for WoW to control both my mouse acceleration curve and to map my keyboard binds to my dual shock 2 controller (I use a mouse/controller combo in WoW as I can’t do KB/M with full keyboard binds due to RSI and a deformed right arm).
Oh yes they can know. You give them permission to scan your running processes by proxy of accepting the EULA when installing the game and running said game(s). How else do you think they’re going to detect cheat software? It isn’t a rootkit like Valorant uses, and is thus encapsulated into their game apps, but it’s present and watching nonetheless.
as long as there arent macros active during the d4 gameplay or something like that, youll be safe to use it.
Don’t think it would be a problem. Below is a portion of the End User License Agreement. As long as that doesn’t alter game files and or automate anything you should be fine.

The driver has been installed since before D4 released.
As I noted, they ban in waves. You’d have been caught in one of the ban waves that have happened already if you were violating their rules. You’re fine. I may end up needing to use that or similar software to fine tune the mouse curve in Windows for myself as I no longer have access to World of Warcraft in macOS where I have a specially tuned mouse curve that works with my deformed right arm’s lesser motor control when gripping items a certain way.
Exactly. As I said. If I were to be banned, I’d already have been.
