[godzilla]

not offline but if you go online on the save you used ce on you will be insta banned for 180 days

you would have to delete you saves, uninstall game, wipe directory, and reinstall game to safely go back online

Only if:

1) You forget to turn EAC off.
2) You go crazy with souls
3) You go crazy in-general
4) Forget to disable cheats/mods when you re-enable EAC and go online

If you edit your online save in any way, yes. If you freeze values like hp and stamina but do not edit them, no. If you try to do any of that online, probably instabanned. To be safe, download an offline launcher and play that. That way any mods or file changes will not cause problems.

Too many bug users. Play fair, it's fun. Don't cheat your characters.

False. Using cheat engine while EAC is disabled and going online afterwards is not bannable.

Many of the users here use the grand merchant mod or cheat engine to get armaments, spells, etc.. It's all about disabling EAC and not adding a bajillion runes or levels out of nowhere.

it is, if you change a value that alters the save even after closing ce, the game will detect a modified save and ban

I've been using cheat engine since 2023 and have never been banned while playing online on any save. You're just wrong.

Yup, I use the lite version of Grand Merchant to gear up new characters, especially when I want to try a build using DLC or end game equipment, such as the One-Eyed Shield or Rellana's Twin Blades.

1. Start new game, progress until I get a crafting kit
2. Exit game and set Steam to Offline
3. Install Grand Merchant, lite version
4. Load up save file, craft whatever equipment I need
5. Uninstall Grand Merchant mod
6. Set Steam back to Online
7. Profit!!!

Haven't been banned yet. The only thing is to make sure you properly uninstall mods before going online again. For Grant Merchant lite, it's just a single file that replaces an existing one in the game folder. Easiest way is to make sure you back up the original file, then when you're ready to uninstall just replace the modded file with the original. You can also verify game files and it will redownload and replace the modded file.

I haven't ever used Cheat Engine, so I don't know what might be different in the process.

Turn off EAC , go offline and then use CE , i use it that way for spawning in Ancient dragon smithing stones and have been doing so for 2 years now

You said it yourself - "...if you change a value that alters the save...". Meaning, you will only get banned if you directly edit your RL, stats, Runes and whatever else.

Spawning in items is 200% safe (unless it's a cut content, like the infamous Deathbed Smalls).

Quick note that adding runes in cheat engine works, but as you said altering your level directly probably doesn't.

I was sure adding them directly is one of the things that triggers EAC, so I always just spawned consumables. Was I overly cautious all this time?

No, but if you use that save online, you could be.

This is how Twinks are made. They give full gear and 600 consumables to a limited RL char, then go online to PVP.
