Blur Buster Strobe Utility and Valve Anti Cheat

Post by Anonymous871231 » 18 Mar 2020, 19:24

Hi, i'm just asking to be 100% sure. Is it fully safe to play CS:GO while using this program? Does it inject itself into games? I don't want to get VAC banned.

The strobe utility simply communicates via DDC commands to the monitor. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with game exe's, period.
The settings the strobe utility can sets are the same ones that are in the Service Menu (Strobe Duty/Intensity, and Strobe Phase/Area, and on older blur reduction (Mstar) models, Single Strobe (85hz and below).

Falkentyne is right.

Strobe Utility is simply a PC program that makes it easier to do what you can do via the monitor's hard-to-reach Service Menu, and also makes it easier to calibrate by running a built-in TestUFO motion test that aids in adjusting.

Some useful images on how to adjust for lower lag, or reduced crosstalk.

You can just quit the software afterwards. There is no problem with anticheat.

You won't have any problems with Anti Valve cheat if you use the Blur Buster Strobe Utility. You definitely don't have to worry
Strobe Utility is not a cheat -- and it has no known anticheat ban / VAC ban of any kind.

It's simply a monitor calibration utility, much like a color calibration utility, but of a different attribute (strobing instead of colors).

In many cases, these are mainly computer-side UIs that are far easier to use than the monitor's OSD menu or factory menu, for a specific task (because Strobe Utility has a built-in automatic TestUFO Strobe Crosstalk test).
