I don’t want to use anything that will get myself banned.
Can someone from Blizzard please tell me officially if we are allowed to use Steamlink to play WOW Classic on our mobile devices?
I’ve looked across all the forums and I could not find an official post saying it’s allowed or not allowed, I’ve only seen posts saying “how to do it” and “warning this could get you banned”, and of course that is all coming from public, not an official word from Blizzard.
Yes. It is allowed.
Because if it is not, all streamers are breaking ToS (Screen capture software).
While queues where long, I used TeamViewer to connect at home and lunch wow 2-3 hours before leaving work.
Fraps was around for forever.
Playing through remote desktop possible too (Some mouse issues tho)
Playing on Linux is “allowed”
You won’t have a Blizzard answer, unless you ask via support
Edit :
As long as It is One connexon par account, owner is playing and no wired stuff going on (No automatization of any kind : 1 click = 1 action) you’ll be fine
Wasn’t there, at one point, some sort of rule prohibiting playing off a remote desktop / VM setup because it was a common concealing tactic used by botters?
I may have misinterpreted that, mind you, but I’m sure I remember something to that effect.
Hmm, don’t know.
But it is pointless today. You can achieve same “concealment” by Using Windows 10 sandbox. Which will be undetectable for the game.
Not familiar with the sandbox capabilities of Win10, but the VM scenario can technically allow someone to spoof what the machine truly is and make it seem like a different “legit” PC. Kitboga does that so that the scammers he baits can’t tell he’s on a VM.
I watched him a little, but after 2-3 calls it’s always the same thing.
His VM is nice, but it was built to foul humans. (Changed names of devices etc). But it won’t foul cupid. A simple code to detect would be something like that :
bool isGuestOSVM()
{
unsigned int cpuInfo[4];
__cpuid((int*)cpuInfo,1);
return ((cpuInfo[2] >> 31) & 1) == 1;
}
Hmm, yeah I guess if you make direct hardware calls, you’ll get what it truly is.
I’m not exactly well-versed in how Blizz would go to poll that information thru Warden (if that still exists?), but admittedly it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine they’d do direct hardware calls like that.
