User Banned (1 week): Antagonising other members, history of bans for similar behavior
Yeah, it's fucking weird
Is it? On Nexus there are just 1k mods for Dark Souls, and they seem pretty limited in scope. Or are there mods elsewhere for From games?
It's almost like they work professionally making video games and are apt to view things through that lens.
Most devs probably haven't as there's been zero reason to. With the launch of the steam deck and as more players request compatibility I'm sure it will change.
Sorry I was under the impression that devs had to implement the latest version of EAC to be compatible with Proton. This is great news!
My Steam Deck can't come soon enough.
I guess I'm just spoiled by the huge size and variety offered by Bethesda's modding community and From's seems tiny by comparison. From's modding community is probably very good by other games' standards.
I was always under the impression that that was how VAC worked. Cheat in one VAC game get banned in all of them making the stakes for cheating very high.
I think that only applies to Valve games. Kinda kills the system if Valve goes around telling other publishers who can and cant play their games anymore lol.
Apparently i was wrong and it didn't have VAC, another poster clarified..so maybe no VAC in DkS2 afterall?
I never used mods for any souls game so I'm not that bummed out…I'm more concerned about the "if you have Logitech G hub you're gonna get banned" part of it…
I was hoping for a souls game where I could opt out of invasions while playing online.
they explicitly detailed there is crossplay between generations. xbox one + series. and ps4+5. nothing else.
Check out
Cinders, for DS3,
Daughters of Ash or Nightfall for DS1,
Seeker of Fire for DS2,
Sekiro Online for Sekiro (It adds multiplayer to the game!)
I don't think its a quantity is king thing. I'm listing those as examples since they're all huge content changes and overhauls, but there are a ton of other really interesting mods for the games that change the way you engage.
First person,
VR,
Add halo maps and deathmatch multiplayer + fully from scratch third person shooting mechanics,
Aggression mod,
Randomizers,
Jojo Stand,
Capture enemies and use them to fight like pokemon,
Play the game as bosses,
Play as bosses in your friends games over multiplayer,
ENB to add the original lighting to Dark Souls 2,
Boss Rushes.
These are all the ones that come to mind off the top of my head. Its a very dedicated community doing a lot of things outside of the "clean faces" type mods other games often get in abundance.
Thanks, I'll check them out. The mods do seem more promising than I presumed.
You never encountered cheaters? or don't mind them being present in you game?
Ugh well that makes my decision to go PC up in the air. I love exploring Souls worlds but am garbage at the gameplay, cheats allowed me to enjoy DS3 unhindered by this (offline of course). At least with ER being open world and more flexibility re: summons and coop this makes the hitting a wall experience less of a thing when you can just go off in a different direction and tackle said wall later.
Hopefully there's an option for offline mode, fingers crossed.

I don't know that I have ever come across one, but as I said, I don't play much online stuff.
I know some cheaters do exist out there, but I think a lot of people are just bad at games and like to blame cheaters like kids playing NES would throw the controller saying "this game cheats!"
I can count the number of cheaters I've seen in DS games on one hand, so I hope this doesn't negatively impact my experience.
I personally have never run into a cheater online before in any of my playthroughs of DS123, has this always been a huge issue in Souls games?
Nope, I've seen 1 and he was just doing funny stuff instead of just cheating to win.
I think it's just a safety precaution with how bad cheating has been in pc games for the last few years.
I find cheating in souls games to make the game easier equalevent to looking at a Picasso through anti cube goggles to make the painting more realistic.
Dont mean to derail the thread into one of those anti or pro difficulty slider threads for Souls games again.
I suppose with cheats you could say this of any game though.
And I do remember turning on noclip in Duke Nukem when I was... 8 or 10, because I couldnt finish the game.
Sorry. Carry on.

I think this is a good thing only if it stops hackers, but I have to wonder why now, on their fourth game in this formula for PC, do they care about this?
I also do not know how this is really going to stop trainers and cheat engine folk, seeing as a quick Google search for other games that had EAC show this is still a thing. What stops someone from getting 99 of an item and then going online, using it to abuse systems? Isn't this the thing they're trying to stop?

I wonder if that's why I got banned on apex a few years ago. They unbanned me after I submitted a ticket, so it may have been some type of false detection because of MSI Afterburner
I don't care what people do with a game they bought as long as it doesn't affect others. You wanna use cheats? I don't care as long as it's offline. It's not my business.
I thought the tickbox was more recent development. Up til then, Linux support was only available on the Epic Online Services version, which made it a hassle.
That's true, but for games using that newer version (newer releases) it was still just a tickbox for them (plus including the .so file that EAC provides them). And for BattleEye it's just an email asking their BE rep to enable it. And none of them did it.
This seems to be the most recent Elden Ring thread going on so if you want to vote for the title of the OT, the poll is open now:
I use an app called "WeMod" on my PC. Does that mean that won't work with Elden? WeMod gives me an "easy" mode for all of their games, would be sad to see it not work.
I mean, it's the same anticheat used with Apex so...naw, it's really not.
You may be forced to play offline only. Depends on how much leeway FROM and Valve allow.
1 Thousand mods is a LOT.
Not every game is Skyrim.
I mean, your likelihood of encountering actual cheaters in games if you never break the diamond equivalent of ranked is pretty low. People cheating usually aren't out there pubstomping.
It might work but EAC will almost assuredly detect it, and might hand you a ban as a result.
It remains to be seen how it's being implemented in this case but there have been cases where EAC is fully active even in single-player sessions, but seeing as these games have always been a mix of the two it's probably always active no matter what.

Lame. Why is single player online so often now? Leave me alone lol.
I just can't get past the notion of why people care that much on how others want to enjoy a game if it has no impact on you.
