Marked as Cheater

[Poptart]

Trying to figure out why this game has me marked all of a sudden.

I don't use huds or mods of any kind and have over 1100 hours on this game. I'm playing with a friend of mine and he sent me a screenshot of the tag over my head which wasn't there on the first day of this mission.

How do i get someone to look into this to verify that I'm legit, and get it removed?

The tag is applied each hosted game. It goes if there's no reason for it to be there next time. It's not a permanent thing. What triggers it some cheating mods or using items you shouldn't have (DLC you've not paid for, masks and skins, etc.). Also sometimes if the game thinks you're carrying too many items at once that the game mechanics don't allow (like more than one bag or usables).

IIRC in the past this could sometimes be triggered falsely by some lag induced errors between the host player (acts as server) and those joining it.

EDIT: Reading your post again I think it'll be gone next time you join. It's probably a mistake by the host's anti-cheat detection. Unless you changed your gear for day 2 to something you shouldn't have or activated some cheat mod.

I am the host... and I don't have anything I shouldn't have, no masks, skins cheat mods, etc.

Restarting the mission Goat Sim day 2, my friend is getting the message that I've created too many assets. wtf?

sounds like a false positive, restart the game should fix the issue or get your mate to host

its an anti piracy and its real bad

Example

if you own a Legendary Weapon skin and swap load outs real fast over the build with it
The game will flag you as a cheater.

The assets you buy before day 2, like ammo and doctor bags are placed on the map several times. That makes the host look like a cheater to others. I can't quite remember if that's a mod issue or not.

Another false tag happens in crime spree with 'more to throw' Gage asset bought. Throw all of your grenades, get into custody, get back out and throw grenades again. You'll get a cheater tag for throwing too many grenades. It definitely happens with concussion grenades, not sure about other throwables.

Sounds like false positive from crimespree or skins.
