Are Save Files Bannable?

[niixx]

I see alot of killers that have like 50 hours on dbd and have legacy 3 and killers with all the perks. Is it bannable to use save files?

[Reduxツ]

Yes it is.

The real question is if you put your old files after reinstall windows is bannable

[Private Paula]

you keep your save file even after you reinstal windows, its safed with the steam cloud.

Any changes/modify of game files CAN cause a ban. So you better dont touch anything, just a advice.

If they're not yours, then yeah.

If you've lost them, I'm pretty sure it's A-Ok to bring them back if you find them somehow.

I think ot isn't bannable to back up you files because in tehnical suport section there is an important topic about how to back up

Problem with this is people can keep reloading a full item/inventory save file to have an unlimited stock. I seriously doubt this is ok lol.

I guess player-IDs are included in the binary savegame files

If you use a random savegame file, there is a mismatch between these numbers => should trigger a ban

If you use a backup of your own savegame file, no mismatch between the both player-IDs

There is no way you can have a ban if you use your own backup save (do not trust too much SteamCloud : do a regular backup of your DbD profile if you invest a lot of time in this game)

If its your own save file its very hard to track but can be abused if you no longer need/want the blood points.

Using someone elses shows up easier due to achievements being granted, I found one yesterday using someone elses save profile, it was easy to see as they had the achievements kill 100 survivors and kill 1000 on the same date and time.

Needless to say they wont be playing anymore on that account.

No

one of the devs said on his twitter that it is not bannable.
Think his name is something like rick/richard, check his twitter history.
His post should be somewhere in december

Hi,

Check this DBD Wiki page as the definitive answer:

Let me quote:

So, play fair and enjoy the game! :)
