Banned.

[Syyyke]

So, I tried to log on a bit ago and my account has been banned for 180 days.

I launch in offline mode and always make sure I have my anti-cheat toggled when needed.

When I play online I always replace the regulation.bin with the "vanilla" bin file.

Remove all mod loader files.

Never play with cut content on any of my characters.

Not sure what's going on here, but this seems pretty serious, and I wasn't really doing anything that I haven't been doing this whole time...

Be Careful! Not sure what this new update did but I'm banned now.

Send them a ticket and let them check if you are really sure.

[Syyyke]

That's the plan was just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue.

I see the game is patching too so once it's done maybe I'll get lucky and it was a bug.

The logical answer is that either at some stage you made a mistake in your prevention steps, or that EAC flagged a file change since you mentioned replacing files back and forth.

I use mods using Mod Engine 2 which requires no manual changes to vanilla files, and have had zero issues switching between the two.

They were dishing out bans if your account had items that you normally were not able to obtain in game. They even issued a warning for that to delete them before bans being issued.

I had that problem too.
The User Dark_Breed had a solution, and for me it worked.

The 'inappropriate activity' message is different to the '180 day ban' message. Your solution would not work in this instance.

[Syyyke]

I've been modding for a while now, I even make mods... "SYYYKE" on nexus.

I am 100% positive I have never played with cut content on anything other than Seemless COOP.

It isn't illegal to play with edited files in offline mode so it's not like I could get banned for simply changing files.

Like I said I've been doing this a while the only thing that has ever happened is I get forced in offline mode.

I've never gotten any warning of any sort.

[Fr. Bella van SØrensalt]

Oh, sry my bad!

[Ashes]

just verify files after every update...

[Syyyke]

Now even with 100% patched and vanilla files it's claiming I have "inappropriate activity detected"... This is getting weirder and weirder.

The inappropriate activity message in most cases is due to file corruption, which can be usually solved by verifying the game files.

Family share and play on the family shared account, alternatively from now on only mod the game on the family shared account, thats how I was softbanned in DS2 and DS3 :)

If you created items with a mod it is possible the created item id mismatch even the last Patch notes told you never tempering with any game files, so far mods are illegal so far they are not officially allowed and you manipulated the Regulation.bin getting some advantages with this what means you have maybe some stuff or upgrades created that are not possible without cheating (for examble you have a number of stuff that you can not have with the amount of playthroughs).

Never play the same char or savefile in mod and online. This can cause a ban.

The other thing is you said you put back the Regulation.bin which one did you put back today ? The Version 1.06 from befor the update or did you put back the 1.06 Version and made the Patch after this ? If you put in the Version 1.06 to Version 1.07 you have used the wrong file and deserved your ban by tempering with gamefiles.

If you want to family share this game on banned account then also family share Alt account is get banned too

It worked for me in DS2 and DS3, the family shared accounts had no restrictions on multiplayer.
