I don't know if you realize how long 3 years is in the development cycle of Special K, but Souls Unsqueezed 0.4 is like a snapshot in time from not long after the Wright brothers first flight. Meanwhile the project's way past that now and I am building lunar rovers :P In another 3 years, I'll be up to interstellar travel and tinkering with problems in those crappy moon rockets I am building right now will be a poor use of my time :)

Or, less dramatically -- if a newer version works, then I did my job correctly and am not inclined to go back and make an older version also work. Too much other stuff on my plate :)

yes but seriously, your v0.6.0 gets people banned and it's still the version you're recommending in the mod's steam guide.
for 99% of people, not getting banned is muuuuch more important than fixing what your mod fixes. can you please at least add a warning about bans, in that guide?

Why would you be banned for using one version but not another? The software has worked the same way since day one, if one version is likely to somehow get you banned, they all are.

As for the white screen problem, that is probably due to the auto-update server on GitHub being broken. You can set Frequency=never in Version/installed.ini to prevent the mod from checking for updates. Newer versions can deal with GitHub's update server flaking, but that one cannot.

only you would be able to find out why, but there's been people who got banned with version 0.6.0 (myself included, + a friend to which I recommended v0.6.0... we got banned together), whereas nobody ever reported a ban with v0.4.0.
I don't know about v0.5.x.

read that post and my next post after that.

I actually figured it out... It was the "Aspect Ratio Correction" setting and "Stretch HUD".

Did you install version 0.4.0 though? (I'm assuming you installed the latest one at first)
Make sure to remove all files of the latest version before installing v0.4.0, just in case.

Does this still work in 2020? If so, I think I'm doing something wrong with the config -- everything is stretched to fill the 21:9 screen. My resolution is 3440x1440. Please help!

be careful not to use a version newer than the 0.4.0 or you will get banned.
also I don't know how to help you with that problem.

Yeah, I deleted my saves (made a backup of them as well) and started fresh without the mod, but, one month has passed, and I'm still banned.

I'll wait a few more weeks, if nothing happens, I'll make an alt account

Such a shame

to get unbanned you need to contact Bandai here: https://service-en.bandainamcoent.eu/app/ask/p/6893
give them the link to your steam profile too (this one: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198040838754).
they will only unban you once.

yep, I can confirm this and I know of several other people who got banned with that version.
I personally still use v0.4.0 and, playing with an alt account, I haven't been banned in over two years.

p.s. I have no idea about version 0.5.0 but I'm not gonna try it (again). also I'm pretty sure it has a very annoying bug related to auto-updates.

The same day I got banned, another guy got banned too. What he did just the day before, was installing v0.6.0 in place of 0.5.0.1, because I told him to. I regret doing that.
Add to that the other people who said they got banned because of that version.

I've used v0.4.0 for a year and a half, I still tell people to install it, but your version 0.6.0 has a problem.

You missed a lot of posts in this thread (or another one in this section, I dunno) where me and several other people said we got banned after installing version 0.6.0.

It's a good thing that you switched to another version because v0.6.0 gets you banned.

To solve the problem, try going in the game's folder in "%appdata%/Roaming" and delete the "graphicsconfig" file. You will have to run DS3T.exe again.
