Is RE framework safe to use?

[★ Moonlight ★]

I was using RE framework at the start because it fixed a lot of issues I had with the game (Better performance, proper ultrawide support, remove the lens distortion)
I stopped using it around the time of the doshaguma challenge quest just to be safe.
Has anyone been banned for it, or is it definitely safe to reinstall

I've been using it since I got the game 17th of April, played through all sorts of events and challenges since then and haven't faced issue

[YouDontKnowMe]

No one's gotten banned yet afaik
There was one dude who claimed to be banned because of cosmetic mods but also cheated himself the DLC so it's up to you how you interpret that

[The Debauchery]

I've been using it, and other mods, the entire time. I even did the Challenge hunts to get the A-rank loot. Haven't been banned yet. I have no doubt Crapcom would ban me on the spot for "violating public morals and decency" if they saw all the lewd bouncy mods I'm using.

[L:D]

I'm using it since they said they would ban modded quests, nothing yet on my side. But who knows, maybe it is yet to come. :D

I did remove the picture of my Palico wearing the painter cat hat from my Hunter Profile though. I figure they'll be looking through everyone's profiles again and I don't want obvious photographic evidence that I'm using mods there... though I'll put the picture back up after they're done because my kitty is precious.

It should be noted, it seems banning is in waves. A lot of cheated records on the Dosh quest were scrubbed, and I believe Capcom stated the accounts were banned from their servers. Seeing as Rey is filled with cheaters once again, I imagine we'll see another ban wave.

For OP, client side stuff should be okay, it's stuff that directly comes into contact with MP that would cause issues.

I reckon they'll be checking mostly on the leader boards since it seems their biggest concern has been people cheating hunt times. (Which imo is a really fruitless length to go for some charm you'll hardly look at 90% of the game.)

But hey, never hurts to be safe

that only affects you

[Inanegrain62]

if a mod only affects you, to the point it doesn't do anything to the server such as modded quests and even then, that is also something I highly doubt they should despite the fact that they have taken action on.

mods that are completely visual, audio are fine, any other modification such as animation values, would be most likely they'll go after by checking times.

why do i say fine when there's no official statement? because with their tos, it is also incredibly difficult for them to enforce this in a way that also doesn't break certain laws in varying countries, times being an oddity is incredibly easy to go after manually especially when there's a ranking leaderboard without going through the minefield of whatever each country has that makes it difficult to deal with mods.

i highly doubt people who are already afraid are going to use mods that literally modify a packet sent to a server which is going to be very easy to detect without breaking the unknown laws im sure of because they aren't going to be in your pc checking everything, they can see it on their own end if someone wants to do that, and because it is sent to them nicely on their own end to see, they can choose to take action on that.

The mod, sure.
The PICTURE of the mod is another matter though.
If you take a photo of a client-side mod using the game's photo function and put it on the Hunter Profile, the fact the picture is modded is visible to everyone.

I'm on the Leaderboard. Not deliberately, mind you. But 13 minutes was way WAY too generous for ATRD's hunt time and I only found out after getting way below that. I went all out thinking I'd need to beat 5 minutes or something... and accidentally ended up on the Leaderboard.
That is why I'm a tad concerned. I'd kinda like it if all the hackers out there could get together and collectively push me off the leaderboard by beating my time...

It is safe to use. As safe as ReShade or other modifications made before like DLSS swapping.

Wow, it's actually kinda sad just how much better the game looks with lens distortion removed. Why it's not an option in the settings is baffling.
Turn off disco ball reflections also significantly improves the game
With those effects removed it's undoubtable that this game looks significantly better than Word

Tell that Capcom directly: [e-mail]
