• Gw2Hook is a fork of ReShade which target only Guild Wars 2. Modifying Guild Wars 2 is not supported by Arena.Net or NCSoft.Use it at your own risk. This aims at removing the fog in Gw2, but I decided to add more functions to it.
• D912pxy - 'DirectX9 to DirectX12 API proxy for Guild Wars 2' d912pxy is a way to make games that use DirectX 9 use DirectX 12 instead, without changing any game code. This is specifically designed for Guild Wars 2. You can try to use it with other games; it might work.
• Hello everyone, as the title says I'm in search for a list, or an archive or however you want to call it, of add-ons/mods for GW2. Since I was playing in classic, and until HoT was released, I knew that all kinds of mods and add-ons to the game were prohibited and would get you a ban.
