ACDC Core Filter is used by AC Dual Client. I think it lets you pick which character you want to log in with, from outside the game. You can probably get by with it disabled, but I doubt it'll make any noticeable difference in game performance.


Some plugins might not use all of the other filters, but in general, yes they're all needed. Filters keep track of information from the game, so that plugins don't have to.


Why do you want to disable them?

The ACDC Core Filter does more than just allow you to log in a character. That is the PRIMARY functionality, but it also provides a redundant backup for path finding and path usage. When it gets initialized, it sends the AC path back to ACDualClient so that ACDualClient knows that the current client is in use.


It's basically a backup for both the Hooks and the Polling methods of Path Detection. (I figure using all 3 can't really hurt anything and might actually make it work better!)
