Singleplayer cheats

[Ollonvard]

I need some help, I'm a new player and I pre-ordered Total War: Rome 2 and I was wondering if I use Cheatengine in the singleplayer campaign. Will this give me a VAC ban?

I would like to use this programme to play thorugh the singleplayercampaign just to test.

Very grateful to any answers regarding my question :)

As long as you do not connect to any VAC secured servers while running cheat engine( This includes in the background, check task manager proseses!), It should be fine.

I've never played that game so I can't say 100%, and I've never used any cheat programs. If it goes wrong, please dont blame me.

I actually can't find anywhere confirming that Rome 2 will even use VAC (though obviously Shogun 2 did so I assume it will but I'm guessing VAC enabled doesn't show in preorders or it's not on it) but if it does use it then you only need to worry about connecting to VAC secured servers, outside of that you can cheat wherever which means single player in that game should be fine.

That said, you need to be careful you never connect to a server having forgotten to utterly disable any cheats and anything you do use is obviously at your own risk as cheat developers/distributors might not always have your best interests at heart. In principle though, you can never be banned for cheating without connecting to a VAC server.

You shouldnt have a problem on the singleplayer campaign as long as you deactivate drop in battles (if rome 2 still has them)
However,as usual: Own risk

LOl, dropping in for anasked for 2 cents worth but why buy a game if you are going to cheat to beat it? Guess I'm a bit old school then, buy a game, play the game like there's no tommrrow (there may not be) and should you ever ever get stuck, ASK FOR HELP!

What business of yours is that? If the OP wants to cheat in a singleplayer game he should be allowed to do so. As long as it doesn't affect anyone else I see no harm in it.

Well, Maybe there will be much haters, But the fact remains that, Nowadays, VAC Is scanning your PC. VAC is walking through your Directories to check If you have Hacks in your PC. If It detects the Cheatengine, Then BAM!, You are VAC Banned. So I tell you, Dont do Such a thing. Dont even think About it.

Wat.

You do realize punkbuster was sued for doing exactly this? Not only that, but, it's easy to disprove. Drop a file anywhere on your PC and tell your filesystem (or, I prefer, inotify) to monitor it for read hooks.

Anyway, I've had cheat engine on my computer for years while playing CS:S, TF2 and all the others. I'm yet to be banned, because, I don't modify the memory of any VAC related processes.

It doesn't scan your PC, stop spreading mis-information. You ONLY get banned if you cheat in vac protected multiplayer.. You can cheat in the other 99% of video games with 0 repercussions.

What business of yours is that? If the SP doesn't want the OP to cheat he should be allowed to express his opinion. See, that works for any reply, including this one.

What on earth is an SP?

Anyway your post makes no sense because the "SP's" feelings on this matter are irrelevant since the OP's cheating in a singleplayer game doesn't affect him.

[ariba]

Most likely no, but I would still be careful if I were you.

[Vito]

it doesn't affect it at all of course

SP = "Secondary Poster" and everybody's entitled to their opinion, even you.
