I've seen people be softbanned for CE'ing in legitmate weapons early game that are only obtainable after certain checkpoints in the game. It checks your files for ANY discrepancies.

Originally posted by Dodge:Utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥The only part you got right in that entire paragraph was that reporting people doesn't do jack and it checks your files. Or that they didn't include some algorythm that recognizes when you get an illegal number of souls (for example, if you add 134,487 souls: no enemy leaves that number when defeated). Interestingly, it seems (according to the informations you have) that they don't run checkups on, for example, an item you find in a particular area and the bonfires you've discovered.

Very interesting also your reply, I was expecting something like that (the impossible items/SL and stats discrepancies) but I was afraid to mess with Steam et cetera and I didn't do the classic 'trial and error' I do when using these programs. Yeah, clearly_not (very kindly) explained the process to me and the various risks.

Obviously if you use CE in Steam Offline mode and leave no evidence you won't get Softbanned, but there's always the chance that you are careless and get Softbanned. Eleum Loyce +10, Mundane Binoculars, special skin weapons etc.) Bandai Namco runs a game check when you are playing online that essentially looks to see if you are running a legit version of the game at that specific point in time (it checks the install and Save file and looks for any discrepancies) I am not sure when it runs (it's probably intermittently at Random Intervals and on Startup), it cannot detect if you have used CE in the past if you haven't left any evidence. Valve and From don't care if you cheat in DS2, reporting people for hacking doesn't do ♥♥♥♥. Hey Alemutasa, don't listen to DwzLT you can use CE to edit Savefiles without getting Softbanned (not saying he is a liar, but he is probably speaking based on hearsay from hackers who claimed to only do legit things with CE but overlooked some part of it).
