What is HWID? (Patreon)

Like many other licensed softwares and online games my license system is using HWID.

HWID is an unique string generated for your computer. Its used to detect computer changes for licensed softwares and pc ban for online games (almost all of them). So its widely used and it doesn't contain any private information.

How HWID generated?

HWID includes one or more unique hardware serial number (motherboard, keyboard, mouse, hard drive, gpu etc) or similar unique data. Then this data used as HWID, so every game and software might use different data for this. 

More details: https://www.ninjaone.com/it-hub/endpoint-management/what-is-hwid-hardware-identification/

Or Google: https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+is+hwid

How am I using HWID?

When you start the game with my mods/plugins, HWID generated by using one or more hardware serial numbers. Then its hashed by MD5 (so its not possible revert HWID to original serial numbers which doesn't even matter). When mod/plugin is checking your license its also checking your HWID. If you use mod/plugin on another computer, HWID is different so it knows you changed computer. With HWID data I can check if you are sharing your licensed files with other people or not.

Simply: HWID is not something harmful and its not a private data. Instead of believing other people, please just use google and learn yourself.

Warning: If you are going to lie about something, do not waste your time to write comment. Get out please.

I didn't release it yet, its working fine but it doesn't work with CSP so I'm making it compatible with CSP. To do that I need to complete missing instructions from shader decompiler so I'm working on that

In ATS the screen glows as if the mod was not compatible.

No entiendo muy bien el idioma y tengo muchas dudas ya que no me queda claro, cuando pagar por PayPal, tienes que descargar el archivo? Y luego dicen que debes iniciar sesión en PayPal varias veces? La verdad no entiendo cómo hacer y el tutorial que hay es muy escueto y no explica mucho y no lo entiendo por el idioma.

Is there any update on the AC compatibility?

I'm trying to make it compatible for multiple games with minimal amount of changes so its taking a lit bit longer :/ So I can apply TAA for different games with only some small changes instead of making whole new system everytime < 3

I tested the new ATS AA and I must say that your plugin is much better than the TAA that SCS implemented. I used the version with "DLSS Quality" and although it's not perfect, it has much less flickering and blurring. Continue with your work, because SCS does not have the competence to improve the AA of its games.

The TAA in 1.50 is fine for me. Of course could be better. But its exp OB.

Yes it is much better. What's crazy is that SCS has the source code, Snowy created his plug-in completely from scratch by himself, no team of coders working on it for years.

Exp OB is for finding bugs and making changes for things people doesn't like. But seeing TAA is bad visible to everyone. They don't need open beta to see TAA is badly implemented.

No, you don't need to do anything, you can move old files to new pc or just redownload files again

Hullo there. Subscribed to your TAA mod for ATS as I just didn't have the GPU and CPU grunt to do their absurd over-sampling work-around, and because my eyes were beginning to hurt at how shimmery their game was on my humble 1060GTX. Well, your mod certainly did the trick and despite a few mis-steps in the updates (the overhead wires tend to suffer a bit with disappearing tricks but its a sacrifice I gladly take) it made such a major difference to the game for me. Everything became so smooth and sharp, and with barely a performance hit. I'm now trying their 1.50 without your mod and it's definitely a mixed bag. I like the colour adjustments according to lighting, the skies are beautiful and the shadows work far better than before. The game also feels a lot smoother and I'm sure I'm getting more FPS. However the TAA is still pretty feeble. In low-light the SCS TAA is okay, and shimmer is moderately reduced, but in the daytime - crikey! Shimmer-a-go-go except out of the corner of your eyes. It's odd to me how a company who are so attentive and skilled in so many different areas (mapping, cargoes, simulation) are so terrible at this one specific thing. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it but I realise Rome isn't built in a day, so I understand the wait. I just hope SCS get their act together, figure out how to do it properly in DX12 and the vanilla player can enjoy a decent sharp look that really shows off their beautiful recreation of the US to the standard it deserves. All the best.
