Jase.6819 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Is it ok to use this program to play Guild Wars 2? I've just been seeing people getting banned for using it on Reddit, and I use it occasionally when I don't have the game installed.For those who don't know, it is a legit program from NVidia that allows you to play games over a cloud streaming service. The games on there have to be approved by their publisher, so ArenaNet have, quite recenetly, allowed Guild Wars 2 to be played over the service, but are now randomly banning people for using it.

Moreover, we are interested in feedback from all of our players about such services." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is one bad customer service representative to turn the restoration of your account into an unpleasant debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimstone Jack.3462 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I haven't had any problems as long as my signal stays good. I think bad signals mixed with GeForce now make the server believe you're trying to force rollbacks or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASP.8093 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I used it last summer. They blocked my account for it and then unlocked it when I filed a support ticket. (Turnaround time: less than a day.)This is annoying but I estimate the risk of any lasting impact to your account is very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the lock on their alt account, so they tried to login to the site and got account locked for security purposes, so they filed the ticket on their main account and they locked their main account too LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar Min.5834 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Legit accounts are being banned while hackers and trolls (portal trolls and chest trolls) are allowed to run free and do what they want for years despite being report hundreds of times. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardenwolfe.8590 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'm still using GeForce/NIVIDIA, but I did get snagged in the recent ban wave. It took me a little over twelve hours to be unsuspended. Fair warning to those not yet hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
