System.Reflection messing with some of the mods I have.

[walter]

I don't know what system.reflection is but it makes mods have the "potentially harmful code" thing, and I don't know if I can trust re-subscribing to that mod. If someone can tell me if the system.reflection is just safe and PPG is just being weird, or it's actually dangerous.

It is very unsafe in fact malicious, I don't know much about how it works but I do know it allows them to do some very not good stuff (I recommend getting the mod FROM the original creator)

Thank you. It's just that I'm incredibly confused because almost every "new" mod I get from the Steam Workshop, has this system.reflection thing.

im pretty sure its just a bug with the beta version of people playground
revert back to base game and see if the warning is still there and if it is (Just dont use that mod)

do not believe everything you see on the internet

so its safe?

i imagine the worst it can do is crash your game

DO NOT ACCEPT ANY MODS THAT HAVE SYSTEM.REFLECTION. system.reflection can create and open files that can have code that can basically do anything a .exe file can do. basically system.reflection latches onto people playground and creates files that can have bad code in it so ppg becomes a virus. yes system.reflection can be safe and just used to do really complicated things, but i wouldn't risk it as it has the power to damage your computer.

these two are yapping.
excerpt from microsoft:
"Contains types that retrieve information about assemblies, modules, members, parameters, and other entities in managed code by examining their metadata. These types also can be used to manipulate instances of loaded types" I don't script but from what i can tell its essentially just a tool to load information, nothing to worry about.

so i downloaded mods before the system reflection warning came and i dont know if i can use them or not because before they did nothing

system.reflection is used in mods which do little youtube popups (example 01 studios)

[Serial Designation - Mal]

so were safe to use these mods?

[Yippee!]

yes, its very safe to use mods with system.reflection things in them, it is mostly just used to get some info on the computer to do something with the mod, mods with the pop up in them come up with system.reflection so they can put links to their websites and stuff, and can also be used to get like the pc name, the time, which is relevant to some mods.

What about system.security and Directory? Some of the mods I used to use have that marked and I'm a bit weirded out by it

Everyone ist panicking, I dost not knoweth why. Every "System reflection" containing mod I have doesn't do anything bad, and I have loads!
