What the fuck is this bullshit.
It's literally a fresh save, I went into the appdata folder and deleted the old DarkSoulsIII folder.
Why say "take the occasion to remove" if clearing everything up to factory setting does nothing?
Gave myself a bunch of souls after finishing the game to test out magic, btw.

Literally a corporation cuck.
>>335796257
He's not wrong though, it clearly states you have a warning and pretends to give you a chance to fix it.
>>335796182
Nothing you can do will stop your account from being banned, this is happening to so many people it might as well be a bug. It happened to me yesterday and I bought the game 2 days ago, I hadn't even used cheat engine yet.

Dumb animeposter.
>>335797178
No, by giving yourself souls you're contributing to broken bullshit like infinite HP in PvP
You're the cancer. Just accept that what you're doing isn't the intended function of the game.
>>335796973
That's not even a correct analogy, how is giving yourself souls effecting anyone else?
It would be more appropriate to say. I bought this car, I want to put a set of rims on it but Honda said I can't and they'll make me drive on the other highway even if I take them off.
>>335797443
You're fucking retarded, how is that the same? You can get soups in the game. The only thing that would do is save time.
>>335797443
That's not even the point, and while I don't agree, because telling the difference between adding souls and infinite hp for the machine should be easy, what I'm arguing about here is how bullshit a message which says "you can fix it!" and then doesn't actually let you fix SHIT is.

It's like saying guns hurt others.
You can use guns to shoot a deer to feed your family or use guns to shoot a guy in the street because you want to ruin his life.

This might actually be the case, as in there will be a second pass of whatever anti-cheat they use to confirm if said save is still there.
>>335796928
Itty bitty baby? Baby bitch tears.
Filter or hide.yes, I am stalking you in every thread you complain, filter and hide or it will continue
>>335797983
Except that there's basically no acceptable reason to use a cheat engine in DaS3. The game lets you respec, change appearance and it's trivial to farm souls and consumables.
If you couldn't respec like in DaS1 I could kinda sorta see your point but I have absolutely no problem with cheat engine babbies getting banned in DaS3.
>>335798130
OP is a retard that's samefagging trying to rationalize his childish mentality on cheating. Let this thread die already.
>>335797871
No it's happening to anyone remotely associated with a cheater.

Except that you can still play offline when you get this warning, it's only breaking online mode. So fuck you.
>>335798291I actually didn't know you could respec when I used CE. Went through the game blind and never met the fingers.
>>335798391
I can actually still play online too, currently. It's just the fact that the warning isn't going away which irks me.

If that was true the contamination would be exponential and basically everybody who does a lot of coop/PvP would have been baned by now. People would get other people banned on purpose.

And your proof is where?
>>335798291
>The game lets you respec, change appearance and it's trivial to farm souls and consumables
or you could also not do that, get all the souls in seconds and jump right into pvp, it's not like you're gonna be matched with people worse equipped than you
unless you change your soul level, fuck that
>>335798354
seriously?
>>335798663
This has apparently happened to some people if they're telling the truth, there's a whole steam thread on it.
>>335798354
>>335798663
It's not true at all. 99% of cheaters are going to say they dindu nuffin. I see people in the steam forums claiming they didn't cheat and then their profile has 2 VAC bans.
>>335798419
First of all:
How could you miss it?
It's almost impossible to miss.
I can get missing the Untended Grave, but Rosaria's?
Second:
Instead of googling
>"Can i respec in dark souls 3?"
You took the time to find and download, install a cheat engine?
Absolute retard.
>>335798962
Sure but that's not everyone.
>>335799029
>You took the time to find and download, install a cheat engine?
I already had CE, obviously. What do you think this is, my first week playing pc games?
>>335798817
Just use the fucking soul dupe glitch if you're that desperate. I mostly play the game for the pvp, but playing the game JUST for the pvp is fucking retarded desu desu senpai senpai
>>335798112
ITS
ALMOST
LIKE
THERE
ARE
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
>>335798817
Well if you made a full STR build and you decide to try being a mage at SL120 it's probably a good idea to do a quick respec.
>>335798936
Picking up cheated objects I could believe, that's why you never pick up shit dropped by other people in dark souls ever.
For the rest I agree with >>335798962 , it's much more likely that it's cheaters trying to get unbanned by pretending it's a bug or something.
>>335799029
I actually missed rosaria until pretty late in the game, when you go completely blind it's easy to miss stuff like that.
That being said I agree that it's weird not to check if there's a way to respec in the game since DaS2 already had that.
>>335799116
>Being proud of being a filthy casual cheater.
wew
>>335797178
the whole point of softbanning is to remove you from the regular online server
You can still cheat as much as you want in private, and you can even invade other cheaters
>>335799216
So when Patches fucked you up the ass.
You didn't want to try to find the treasure he was talking about?
Or find him to fuck him up?
>>335799116
>>335798112
I wouldn't be surprised if the population of people complaining about getting banned for using CE overlaps greatly with people complaining about getting gank squads while invading. There's the same sense of entitlement and selfishness.

>>335799449

Ignore those fags.
Those casuals are new to the souls series.
Ganksquads have been in all the games since Demon's Souls.
>>335796508
>Single player
Ah yes, the game which is normally meant to be always online, with invasion. co-operation and so forth.
It's almost like they do this to prevent online cheating or something.
Question, OP. Are you mentally retarded? And before you open your goddamn stupid fucking ass mouth, have you possibly considered the possibility that even if you are able to choose to play offline, you can possibly turn it online at any point whenever you want?
"B-but it's singleplayer"
No, it's not fucking singleplayer. You can choose to play offline but can turn on online at any point. Why the fuck should they allow cheating? It doesn't matter if you personally might vow to never ever play online, it still retarded to expect that no one would exploit it if they allowed you to do anything you want while you're offline.
Now fucking off yourself to save our genepool from your stupidity.
>Gave myself a bunch of souls after finishing the game to test out magic, btw.
What exactly does that mean?
>>335799449

>>335799932
Oh..

No, they are everywhere now because being outside Farron's will result in their death due to being invaded by 3 people.
And the fact that gankers are 99% R1 spamming shitters.

There's a CE table going around that enables people to give anybody else impossible stats, that way they can get anybody they want softbanned. I would recommend avoiding summoning or getting invaded (don't walk around in ember mode) until they solve the issue.

This is no true, the only way to do this is to edit peoples game files on their PC. Seen as no one can do this unless they have access to your PC it is bullshit.
>>335799984
>Gankers used to be a relatively uncommon sight, though.

>>335800836
As if this amount of bullshit is actually needed. Invading or getting summoned by someone while using CE will flag them too
>>335796182
Its an account flag what it really means is "This account has been flagged for the next ban wave." Its been proven that thats all it is. You can reformat your computer and the message will still be there.
Don't worry though it was likely not your fault its been proven that you will be banned for
>Playing with a cheater. This included invading, being invaded by or summoning a cheater.

Its not a problem though with their system being so fucking sensitive to everything it wont be long until we are all on the cheaters server.

Does the dancer NPC boss trick thing still work?

>>335801510
I would show you the threads but they have all been deleted on the steam forums.
They tested each thing reported as they could. One guy streamed everything on twitch. He got to the undead settlement online them went offline and got past the dancer. He got online again and the next day he was flagged.
Crashing was proven through youtube videos. A guy intentionally triggered the bonfire crash over and over. I think it was 24 times? When he got back online he was flagged.
The playing with a cheater is a lot more circumstantial and is based on the sheer number of posts about it but also has videos of people playing with a cheater then waiting a day. They got flagged. Its harder to tell though if it was playing with the cheater that flagged them. We were going with the shear number of reports to back up the videos.
If all the proof was moved I dont know. Once they did the mass pruning of threads including the mega thread that had all the proof in it most fucked off from the stem forms as it was clear From would rather sweep it all under the rug.

EVERY TIME
>>335803403
From the sounds of the threads it was significant progress. If you hop back online regularly you should be fine. Were talking from the undead settlement to lothric.
>>335803403
you're not, because it's not the save that's flagged (unless it has ridiculously obvious shenanigan fingerprints all over it)
the PROFILE is what's tainted, which is easily circumvented by creating another for free (for Steam, I mean).
>>335803645
No.
Proof? I'm playing the pirated copy right now, online I might add.
It detects cheaters and maybe innocent people but not pirates.
>>335801275
Now hold on are you telling me I can give myself infinite HP, pop the dried fingers and proceed to get hundreds of people banned?
>>335803413
>- ...unless you have patently "impossible" stuff (like NG++ rings in NG)
nah, I CEd the NG+ rings into NG
I didn't get banned because I'm not a retard
>>335803975
But you did cheat. You're a retard by definition.
>>335803645
no... not even close. cheat engineers have been hacking the game getting close to what flags the warning (it's a 1/0 thing) and it's definitely profile side
this is a good thing because:
(i) profiles can be made ad infinitum
(ii) saves can be transferred easily (create new dummy save > exit > go to "Load" > copy old save over new dummy save > load game)
(iii) your progression isn't at risk per se

>>335803975
you MAY not... as some MAY get banned the next time they launch the game after receiving the "invalid" message
like I stated, the system - whatever the ham-fisted fuck it is - is next to useless:

>traps non cheaters... even some who haven't even notched up any play time (kek!)
>does absolutely nothing regarding pirates
>is not specific to PvP -- the only mode where it should be present
>does not necessarily ban where perhaps it should, and visa-versa...
it's just another cock-up and offshoot of the ad hoc PvP aspect of the game. had they simply provided traditional co-op and kept the chug-athons on separate servers, they could have tailored security for the latter mode and not fucked everyone with their broad toilet brush
>>335796973

Yes. From the testing done all it takes is playing with one >KNOWN< cheater. I.E. Obvious. We dont know how many cheated before that obvious on though.
>>335804204
>>only safe thing to do is to play online without ember until this is fixed
no. simply pirate the game and you lose nothing either way
>>335804370
There was proof faggot. But the mega thread on steam was deleted. We had videos of people playing with obvious cheaters and then logging off. Next time they played the game they had the warning.
>>335804543
>foidl snolgy
>>335804258
yeah... I've never understood the drone-like mindset of those who waste hundreds of hours of their, admittedly inutile lives, grinding for shit
these games are so much more enjoyable when one can actually LOOK the part from the get-go and tailor the game to their play style, wants and likes
no wonder so many have such ugly, normie waifus / fagfus and 1920p HP bar tanks when they're all herded in the same direction by a poorly designed game
if the quality of the gaming experience isn't enough to keep people playing, you've gotta ask -- why even bother?
The game keeps telling me it can't connect to the server but I know it's up because my friend is playing and my internet is working fine. Am I banned? Some guy invaded me when I was unkindled and I got disconnected.
>>335802923
well if op legitimitly only wanted to test magic and got banned for it, id say thats pretty lame. not saying i completely believe him, but if it were the case where he was just testing, id be salty too

I don't understand why people buy games, then cheat their way around actually playing them either

Fuck off, you don't even exist.

>Some guy invaded me when I was unkindled and I got disconnected.
>fearmongering
pls stop.
>>335805371
they're playing them the way THEY like, thus they enjoying them, therefore dopamine is release in their noggins and they feel good
you know, a means to the same end anything our species does anything for -- to feel good
which raises the question:
>does it make you feel good to consternate about others enjoying themselves?
...shit's sociopathic, dawg
>>335805196
It takes more than once.
Banned can still "connect". They just can't interact.

Do you get something at rank 3? Ive been hoarding like 300 tongues.

Did you summon any phantoms? Because you get flasks back when they are killed. Two from blues.

>does it make you feel good to consternate about others enjoying themselves?
If it affects other people's enjoyment, yes
>>335803403
You're not.
Finished the game offline, started NG+, went online, nothing's wrong.
It's just cheaters hiding behind their excuses, you don't need to worry.
>>335806125
Just a luck scaling staff.
>WTF I CHEATED AND GET PUNISHED FOR IT??!
you should probably kill yourself before its too late
>>335805801
It's not fearmongering it was some chinese or japanese name that popped up then I got booted to the main menu and it won't start again help

Other drivers would be multiplayer retard, if you do it in a single player mode you shouldn't be penalized

>He cheated while online
retard
This message doesn't even mean you're banned its just a warning
Any Idea how many times someone needs to altf4 before they are banned from co-op? I had so many quitters yesterday.
>teleporting invaders
>unlimited health/stamina invaders
>they still don't get banned
why
>Hackers getting banned
>Invasion cucks get Brazzers'd in every invasion
>Magic fags assblasted they can't one shot everything anymore
Can From get any more based?
>>335807059
Really? I haven't had any and DS3 has such a dense bonfire placement I think the longest run is something like 20 mins (pontiff to AL bridge?). Literally lose nothing.
>>335806417
But I have the invalid game data flag
>>335807273
I'm sure they just do it so I get nothing. It's not really a huge deal since I'm already maxed out. I just really can't stand sore losers.
I downloaded the patch but it hasn't installed on the actual game.
How do I change this?
>>335796508
If you see it as a singleplayer game then there is no problem since the only penalty is online related, agree? Less memes more thought, imbecile.
