Will i get banned for using cheat engine?
I would like to change just my name, since the edit voucher doesn't allow it. Reasons: i want to change the hunter gender

Haven't heard of any bans thus far, so, probably not.

Can't be 100% sure until we actually get reports of bans happening, though.

I honestly don't see the reason why devs don't allow us to change our name with the character edit voucher

Should've thinked about a better name for your character before picking xXxPusySlayer69XxX edgeboi.

it's a joke

And you would get banned if you cheat and change your character without buying the voucher.
As for just changing name? No one knows.
It's stupid still that they don't allow you to change your name too since it would be easy to do.
I guess the Devs wanted to teach players to take responsabilities about their choices.
So no you gotta stick with your name.

If they don't ban people for one shotting monsters, they sure as hell aren't going to ban you for a simple name change. so don't worry about it.

although i am curious if changing your name is that easy why do they not allow it legit. seems like they are hiding something.

Yeah, that's right. I didn't expect to change the hunter gender, so I used a male name on it.

You can also change your name in your save file if you're ok with hex and notepad++. I personally see nothing wrong with it, and Capcom atm is unable to ban anyone due to how the game is designed. All they can do is tweak the current engine to try and disable Trainers and Cheatengine modifiers from working like they used to.

They could also make the game hard crash when you hook it with cheat engine like they did with RE7. Lol

Banned from what? They don't seem to have much in the way of a network infrastructure supporting this game. I'd be very surprised if there's any significant amount of persistent data stored on a server that identifies you, the entire game seems to be client-side with just a flimsy little peer-to-peer matchmaking service.

I almost have to imagine that as soon as Denuvo is defeated for this game Capcom's going to be unprepared and pirates will be accessing the online component of the game.

Ya, they already did that on some things. Already a new workaround though.

I did put Maiden Slayer as the title of my guild card, though. :D

That's exactly what Cheat Engine does. It's a hex editor.
Cheat Engine is a live debug tool, it's quite a bit different than a hex editor. Even your most sophisticated hex editor cannot do the kind of analysis that Cheat Engine does.

Hell, hex editors are barely capable of doing any significant modification to a game, they're basically the Notepad of modding. You can make some simple edits that someone else has already figured out for you, but those will generally have been analyzed using something more sophisticated.

You need a debugger, disassembler or some combination of both (Cheat Engine is this) to do anything noteworthy.
