Can you get banned for using WeMod with friends?

[Night Glinx]

I haven't played the game in a while and have played it with WeMod many times, the new message they have at the beginning of the game is a little worrying, will I get banned for using WeMod while running a lobby with friends? or even on my own? I don't want to not be able to play the game fully or at all anymore by trying to test this.

Yes

[Night Glinx]

Is it the same if you just use it while playing on your own?

IF detected, then yes you will be banned from multiplayer. There is an anti-cheat that will not automatically ban you, but block you from booting the game up if it is detected. The developers made it clear that they have zero tolerance for cheating, and will perma-ban if a report comes in.

You'll get perma banned. Even if it's just you or your friends playing with cheats.

Devs don't want people cheating or using mods that are even considered harmless like reshade. BUT like as in steam offline mode- I am unsure if it still saves your progress and it will detect the cheated profile once it goes back into online mode.

Well, people get warned in the forums here. It's then up to them, if they want to risk a game ban or not, especially since nobody other than the devs can really tell, how their systems work.

then why not ban for wemod instantly? It seems they are ok with single player modding from what I am seeing. Otherwise people would not be using wemod in singleplayer like they do. IDk

I nearly got banned just for having a folder where I saved all my screenshots.

I couldn't open my game one day. Couldn't figure out why. Messaged the mods on discord. They looked through the files and seen that folder. They told me to remove it. Game worked after doing so, but lost some of my stats. The mod then tells me that I may be receiving a ban because of it, but if that were to happen, to message them again.

Just disable Wemod and you can play the game.

Because they give you the benefit of the doubt, that you simply didn't knew, that it runs in the background (for example after using it on another game, where it's allows). Only if you're actively trying to get past that check, that's where you're risking to get banned.

kind of silly. me and friends just wanna play some phasmo and dont wanna use the new grinding system grinding 30 levels so we can unlock non-caveman tools. shame

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: Yes, it is in the EULA as a bannable offense. Using mods can corrupt your save file and can cause issues for other players by destabilizing the servers.
