Thank you for reaching out to us mate :) Thankfully you can be rest assured. Overwolf extensions sidestep this concern, since they do not interact with the game engine they operate exclusively on the overlay created by the main Overwolf program.Īdditionally, one of the developers of Overwolf has responded to an Overwatch player's concerns with using the program: has gained traction in competitive video games, such as eSports and MMORPGs, where native extensions are often forbidden due to concerns about cheating.
The Blizzard EULA states that you cannot create, use, offer, advertise, make available and/or distribute the following or assist therein:Īny code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that can be used in connection with the client, the Service, a Game and/or any component or feature thereof which changes and/or facilitates the gameplay.Īfter doing some research I discovered Overwolf, which according to the wiki:
I wanted to make sure that I was not in breach of the EULA before using this method for a custom crosshair overlay, as some methods of overlaying elements in full screen are intrusive and could possibly be used to gain an unfair advantage. But using borderless windowed mode increases input lag and can adversely affect performance, especially on lower end systems. There's plenty of ways to overlay a borderless window crosshair. There are no links to executables or compressed files, just the overwolf main page and a github link.
This thread is not discussing cheats/hacks or anything related, it is a guide on how to overlay a crosshair safely.
