Can Mods Get You Banned?

[Simply Chris]

I saw that there were No Man's Sky mods available. (Don't want to link if they are illegal) but I was wondering if a dev or forum moderator could tell me if I use them, will I get a VAC Ban? Or Banned from No Man's Sky?

[Al]

No they can't although the devs would prolly ban the developers of these mods for being 100X better then them.

you should install this and stop asking silly questions ...

It's a single player game so I can't see why. Possibly posting links here may be because perhaps the origin of the site they come from.

Its not multiplayer game... so why would mods matter. The only multiplayer thing about this game is naming planets.

Hello there

Its a legitimate question from a novice.

If the mods/cheats dont use an app like CheatEngine you will be fine most likely.

Just be aware other game ant cheat software can treat software like CheatEngine more aggressively.

Ymmv.

Just ensure you download from reputable sites and understand what you are installing.

If there is no VAC enabled icon on the game, you have nothing to worry about. There is no multiplayer in the game, so there is no need for NMS to have an anti cheat.

Sean confirmed we are allowed to have mods, can we have a discussion board for modding ?

I hardly doubt that NMS mods will get you in any sort of trouble. I play with mods from day one - no ban or issues whatsoever. Also if mods are bannable this site would be closed by now

Modders are already making small fixes for this game and I for one I`m grateful for it.

One of the reasons I asked was I saw someone posting links to a modding website and then noticed that user was banned on the forums. I quickly looked at their history and didn't see anything overly trolly so wasn't sure if it was something taboo.

While its not the best game in my libary right now, I don't want any bans on my record ya know?

Thank you guys for helping to answer.

In general however using mods will make you 'not eligable for support'. Doesn't necesarily mean you won't get any help, but do always mention the mods you use when experiencing problems ingame and seeking support for it.

Also keep in mind that mods might conflict with (future) updates/DLC.

Other then that you should be good (unless perhaps when you install a mod that automatically discovers and renames all planets in the universe for you, IOW mess with the online naming database, or any other MP-ish aspect the game has)

If you want you can allways run steam in offline mode - this way NMS will disconnect from Hello Games servers too but as this is no competetive game and dev talked about mods some time ago - I think its safe to run with mods. All my steam friends that own the game runs mods with no issues online.

[First5trike]

The ONLY kind of mods that could possibly lead to a ban (assuming a ban itself is even possible) would be ones affecting the in-game discoveries (removing the profanity filter, etc).

The traffic for NMS has been exhaustively examined and the only thing it sends to the server is the discovery data. No player data is ever sent at all.

So HG has no idea you are even running mods.

What single player games have anti cheat?

Anti cheat is quite common with ubisoft single player games.
But those are the exception.

It's kind of tragic if you think about it. Assassin's creed syndicate has more anti cheat measures in it than the division does and that's an actual multiplayer game.
