Question about Cheat Engine while only playing offline

[Firebrand]

Hello.

I would like to use a Cheat Engine to max out my stats and try different weapons on highest upgrades just for fun. I got all the achievements and spent countless hours on DS1 (both the Xbox version years ago and now the Remaster). Thing is, I don't want to play online after using the Cheat Engine, it's simply for having some fun before laying the game down for good.

Question is: Do I still get potentially banned for using it, even if I stay offline? Because I read in other threads that once you get banned here in Remaster, it also affects other games like DS 3 and such.

If so, I wouldn't use it of course because I like DS3 online and maybe I even want to get back to DS 1 some day and play some PvP or help friends through the game, so I don't want to screw my Steam Account over by having some fun in pve for a couple hours.

Thanks in advance!

If you want to cheat your stats by getting 999999999 souls I think that should be fine "I think" instead if you mean like lvl 130 all stats at 99 that could be a problem.

if game detects your save file moddified it will ban you, so yes you will get banned

If you set Steam to offline mode and delete the character before you go back online, nothing will get detected.

EDIT: Even safer if you make a copy of your savefile, go Steam offline mode and do your testing. Then copy the untampered save file back in and then set Steam back to online mode.

Alright, thanks for the info! Think I'm gonna play it safe though and use my alt account, just to be sure.

Nothing gets uploaded when Steam is in offline mode. Just make sure you've removed any cheat characters or tampered save files before you get back online so it won't upload and sync an edited savefile with the servers.

Thats a good idea about saving my file before. Thanks! Now I only need to read up upon how to do it with DS Remaster.
