All of us need to contact FROM and Bamco on their twitter pages, email, anything we can in order to let them know that this is NOT OKAY - or alternatively, to get some sort of statement. For others who have unjustly been affected by this ban, we need your stories and experiences about it as well. “If you’re one of the lucky ones who hasn’t been affected by the unjust softban, please don’t just move on from this post - nobody knows what triggers it, so it could be something as simple as having a certain program installed on your computer. The subreddit thread where this concern was first brought to attention is now filled with 2265 comments. Unfortunately this problem is widespread within the Dark Souls III community, meaning that gamers all have to rely on each other for troubleshooting if Bandai Namco can’t clarify these issues for them. Failing to do so causes the “You have been Penalized” message. Players need to erase or remove whatever this anomaly is, even resorting to erasing entire save files if necessary. The “Invalid Game Data” message is a warning that you acquired something that the Dark Souls III anti-cheat system considers to be an outside hack or game mod. “ Invalid Game Data“ and “ You have been Penalized“ are involved in the warning process. There were actually two different error messages. Hidden deep within the Bandai Namco knowledge base, an official answer was presented for this specific problem. “Our team will review their account information to see if the player has been using any sort of hack/cheat or if the flag was a false positive,” said a company representative.” “Bandai Namco told me it’s possible some accounts have been flagged wrongly, and they’re going to examine each report. Pop-ups like this one appear to both legitimate Dark Souls III players and hackers alike.īandai Namco made this statement to Kotaku this past week, addressing the concern. The possibility of an unfair advantage (via stats boosted items and other hacks) over other Dark Souls III players is what caused From Software to implement an anti-cheat protection system into the online component of the game.īut recently, it’s been reported that legitimate players are taking the same heat as cheaters are. Basically, it involves using Cheat Engine and other related tools to edit the functionality of the game to produce a particular advantage. To get a dominating edge over other players online, some folks decide to cheat their way to success. Overall, the Dark Souls series built a reputation as being considered “hard games”. The video game hit Dark Souls III is the latest challenging adventure from Bandai Namco and From Software. Long gone are the days of Game Genies and GameSharks.
